After 20 years of somatic work, what is beyond "fixing"? What does Feldenkrais Method bring in addition?
Hi, I’m Zhiwei — a neuroscientist, certified Feldenkrais practitioner, and a curious mover now living in Bali.
Alex Greene was my peer during the Feldenkrais teacher training in North America, and he’s a true polymath in the world of somatic work — with over 20 years of hands-on experience.
He began as a Rolf Structural Integration practitioner, skilled at using manual techniques to reorganize tension patterns in the body.
He also specializes in trauma release and emotional regulation, and is now one of the key international educators and developers of TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises).
A while ago, after almost one year of our graduation from the Feldenkrais Teacher training, I chatted with Alex.
I was deeply curious about how he integrates the Feldenkrais Method into his somatic practice — and how this integration has reshaped both his approach to helping others and his personal life.
