Movement intelligence

Feldenkrais for Teams

Gentle movement education that helps teams notice how they sit, breathe and move during the working day.

The Problem

The cost of sedentary knowledge work

8–10 hours/day in static postures compresses the spine and restricts breathing

Shallow breathing and limited movement can accompany demanding periods

Chronic neck and shoulder tension costs cognitive bandwidth

Repetitive movement patterns can contribute to everyday stiffness or discomfort

The Methodology

What is the Feldenkrais Method?

Developed by Moshe Feldenkrais, the Feldenkrais Method is a form of somatic education using gentle, attentive movement. Research quality and outcomes vary, so EKA Balance presents it as movement education—not physiotherapy or a guaranteed clinical intervention.

Unlike conventional exercise, sessions emphasise curiosity and attention rather than effort. Participants explore comfortable options and decide what is useful in their daily work.

15–20 min

Short movement breaks can fit between meetings without equipment

4–20

A practical group size for guided movement sessions

Gentle

Movements are exploratory and adapted to comfort; outcomes vary

How It Compares

Conventional approach vs EKA

Aspect
Typical approach
EKA Balance
Approach
Ergonomics training, stretching breaks, gym access
Neurological movement re-education (Feldenkrais-based)
Focus
Generic posture reminders
Attention to individual movement habits and comfort
Effort required
High — requires motivation to exercise consistently
Low — sessions are gentle, done lying or sitting
Transfer
Often separate from daily work
Explorations are connected with sitting, typing and presenting
The Process

How a session works

01

Awareness

Learn to notice how you actually move — not how you think you move.

02

Exploration

Guided movement sequences reveal habitual tension patterns without effort.

03

Options

Explore alternative movements within a comfortable, non-clinical range.

04

Transfer

New patterns carry into daily work: sitting, typing, breathing, presenting.

Delivery Formats

Movement Breaks

15–20 min sessions between meetings, zero equipment needed

Posture Workshop

Half-day deep-dive for desk-heavy teams

Weekly Group Class

Ongoing sessions for teams of 4–20 people

Individual Sessions

One-to-one Functional Integration for tailored movement exploration

Our engineering team appreciated having a gentle, accessible movement practice during long sprint cycles. The sessions became a welcome part of Fridays.
