OUR TRAINERS
Anna Maria Caponecchi
Trainer
Rome, Italy
Anna Maria Caponecchi, M.A., was first drawn to the Feldenkrais method in 1985 through her work in theater, her interest in art, movement, and learning processes. The Feldenkrais method offered her the bridge between science and creativity that she was looking for.
Very soon teaching the Method became her profession and in her long private practice she is helping adults, infants, and children with special needs to be more connected with their movements, feelings, and sensations for more efficient self-use. Her experience with special needs children has also been enriched by studying the JKA.
She likes to create and produce projects, as she likes to embrace challenges and collaboration with other professionals. Over the years, she carried out numerous projects with professionals from the arts, psychology, and neuropsychiatry fields, including specific seminars on the pelvic floor for midwives.

Anna Maria is worldwide known for her warm, simple, and creative teaching style. She is very competent in the knowledge of the feldenkrais method and in the ability to create an interesting, pleasant learning environment.
