BRAINature & Move Better Now

Mark’s main passion and area of focus is helping people dealing with problems related to modern lifestyle and associated injuries and limitations. Mark is a software engineer by trade and has also played competitive national draughts/checkers in the former USSR during his early childhood. As a result of his profoundly sedentary lifestyle as well as premature birth and related illnesses, Mark has suffered many aches, pains and limitations in mobility. Introduction to the Feldenkrais method and, specifically, the Anat Baniel Method NeuroMovement has changed his life and gave him a sense of higher purpose that he can now fulfill by helping others. Mark has completed over 1000 hours of training directly from Anat Baniel throughout ten years and is currently continuing his Mastery training with Children with Special Needs, Vitality and High-Performers in 2019-2021.
