The Importance of Rest in Feldenkrais Lessons
David Zemach-Bersin, Feldenkrais Trainer, Feldenkrais Access Founder
Feldenkrais students often ask why we take so many rests during Feldenkrais lessons. This new research supports what I have been saying for many years, that resting during learning allows for better or more effective consolidation, and I would add that it also allows for the replenishment of the specific neurotransmitters involved in learning.
