Do I have time to spare?
Do you have time to spare doing and joining different classes? Needless to say, there are institutions where you can find a wide choice of schedules for Feldenkrais method classes. Making sure that you have time to attend not just one but regular classes is a must to consider. One class may last for an hour or two, and the frequency per week depends on the institution’s recommendation.
Finding time is actually necessary especially that there are a lot of benefits you can get out from pursuing these classes. Checking for scheduling, and matching it to your availability is best for you to consider.
Why do I need this exercise?
There are many reasons why this exercise is recommended, but before starting, you have to know your specific and personal reason of practicing this method. The methods to follow should target and solve the problem you are facing or what you want to improve.
Also, by having a goal, you will be more focused and determined to attend classes. Setting goal is important as without it, you would not know where to start and when to end.
Do I have the patience to follow routines?
It takes patience not just to follow the routines but also to wait for the results to show. If you do not have the patience, just consult a doctor and go under the needle or take medication. But of course, it is always better if you do it the natural way.
More so, do not assume that if you do this practice, you can skip a visit to the doctor, as this exercise cannot cure all conditions and should never be an alternative to professional medical treatments.
Do I know an institution to attend classes?
There are a lot of institutions out there but not all of them can provide the kind of service you need. Hence, it is best if before you even think about participating in such classes, choose the right institutions to acquire the classes from. There are many ways you can use to find the best institution, but if you want the most convenient yet effective, ask questions.
To help you get started, here are a few of the many questions to ask an institution.
- Available schedules
Ask for the available schedule and make sure that their schedule matches yours. You would not want to choose an institution that has schedules that do not suit yours. Asking for their schedule is necessary, especially that you want to be available all the time needed so you can complete your classes.
You would not want to limit your chance of enjoying all the benefits you can get from Feldenkrais method just because the schedule of the institution does not match yours.
Most of the time though, this information is already available on their website, hence checking before asking is a good idea simply because it is more convenient.
- How much is their rate?
One of the things you may also want to confirm and ask is their rate. How much do they charge? Are they charging per session, monthly, etc? How much do they charge for classes how about for personal sessions? Although this form of exercise offers a huge help not just to your health but welfare too, if they are charging too expensively, there is no way you can afford it.
Worry not as much as there are many institutions that offer free service. These institutions’ goal is to provide health and good welfare to people free of charge. But of course, if you were able to see good results from it, best if you share your blessings to the instructor so they will be more motivated to serve the community.
- Who is your class instructor?
You may also want to know who their class instructor is. Their class instructor will make or break the kind of service you will receive same as the result you will get, hence making sure that they are qualified, competent and as well as certified to do the task is a must.
