Feldenkrais Illustrated: The Art of Learning is a work of art. Feldenkrais Practitioner, author, and artist, Tiffany Sankary has taken key ideas from the writings of Moshe Feldenkrais and presented them with illustrations. She notes in her introduction that Moshe’s writings can be dense, and can take the time to take his ideas in and work with them. Tiffany decompresses Feldenkrais’s writings by using illustrations to create space around them and making them easy to understand.
Depicting 25 fundamental principles of the Feldenkrais Method®, Feldenkrais Illustrated is a wonderful resource for the public as well as Practitioners and Trainees. Tiffany makes it easy to bring these ideas into an Awareness Through Movement® class, workshop or client conversation to deepen our student’s understanding of the Method.
“…interesting, inviting, accessible, intriguing and a pleasure to look at! Feldenkrais can be hard to read but Tiffany Sankary has fashioned a format that simply draws you in. I began reading it and could not stop…

Feldenkrais Illustrated is an insightful, comprehensive and lovingly whimsical guide through some of life’s tough questions. Who am I? What is Health? How do I discover more about myself? This book is delightful in its simplicity and accessible in its complexity. If you live in a human body, Feldenkrais Illustrated is a must-have.

What is the Feldenkrais Method? Because the Method is so multifaceted I often struggle to explain it concisely. This wonderful book does a lovely job of presenting the Feldenrais Method simply without oversimplifying it.

Reading Feldenkrais Illustrated is like sitting at the feet of two masters. The humor and humanity of Tiffany Sankary’s illustrations help me to savor and integrate Moshe Feldenkrais’ brilliance and embodied truth.
