What is
MBS Feldenkrais
The Mind Body Studies (MBS) Academy was founded in 1987 by Mia Segal and her daughter, Leora Gaster, to continue the work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais.
Mia Segal (1934–2025) was Feldenkrais' closest assistent througout his career.
Mind Body Studies is the exploration of the connection between brain and behavior. Becoming aware of oneself through movement is the key to realizing our full human potential.
MBS academy's curriculum crystalizes decades of experience.
Exploration and curiosity has proven to be fundamental for this learning. To combine ATM (grouplesson) and FI (Hands-on) throughout the whole training has a deepening effect on the insight and skils requiered for this work.

Mia Segal was the first and closest assistant of Moshe Feldenkrais and played a key role in developing and spreading his method. Over several decades, she taught Feldenkrais worldwide, working with musicians, dancers, athletes, and people with physical challenges, and she shaped generations of practitioners.
