It includes contact and body movement lessons, which are designed to accurately and effectively eliminate “wrong” body habits that create blockages, tensions, chronic pain and one-sided burden on the body. In each contact and movement lesson, the instructor, performing gentle and gentle movements, deals with the entire body of the trainee, while also focusing on a specific area of the habits of the various body parts.
Talmi-Method® is a system originally designed by the engineer and physicist Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984) and named after Alon Talmi, a student of Feldenkrais, who developed it and organized it into sessions. Later, Martin Gruber added elements from other similar approaches to the Talmi-Method® such as Rolfing®, Feldenkrais, ZenTriggerpoint Anatomy®, Zen Bodytherapy® and Japanese osteopathy to adapt it to the performing arts and the high demands of stage work.
This method is already being applied with great success in leading acting schools in Europe, in the practice of performing and martial arts, in the training of speech and kinesiology. It can be practiced either individually or as a complement to any other approach that aims at the alignment, movement and personal development of the body. It is carried out in individual or group sessions.
What does the Talmi method aim for?
Talmi-Methode® aims to improve the individual's relationship with their body, enhancing physical harmony, mobility and self-awareness. In particular, it focuses on:
- Strengthening Physical Function. Improves posture, identifies and corrects asymmetries and movement patterns that cause discomfort or limitations.
- Increased freedom of movement. Releases blockages and allows the body to move with ease and grace.
- Breathing and voice enhancement. Supports better breath flow, which positively affects vocal performance and overall vitality.
- Understanding and reprogramming of Motor Patterns. Identifies habits and patterns that limit the effectiveness of movements. Helps the individual discover their center of balance and energy. Trains from the beginning the motor functions and movement patterns that are integrated into everyday life.
- Reduction of physical effort. Minimizes unnecessary tension, saving energy. Helps avoid premature fatigue and better manage physical effort.
