ABSTRACT

This study explores the educational philosophy and teaching principles of the Jeremy Krauss Approach (JKA), a contemporary somatic learning model developed from the Feldenkrais Method. The JKA focuses on experiential movement learning that enables individuals to reorganize and enhance their functional, emotional, and cognitive capacities. Grounded in neuroplasticity, interpersonal neurobiology, and experience-dependent learning, the JKA emphasizes sensory awareness, relational experience, and self-organization rather than external instruction. Methodologically, this research combines literature analysis with the researcher’s experiential participation in JKA professional trainings, including Functional Hands-On (FHO), Awareness Through Movement (ATM), and Developmental Hands-On (DHO) conducted between 2024 and 2025. The findings reveal that the JKA facilitates personalized, non-invasive, and integrative learning through observation, exploration, and gradual differentiation. It supports inclusive education for diverse learners and aligns with the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework by promoting embodied awareness, experiential reflection, and differentiated teaching strategies.
