David Zemach-Bersin is one of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais' original American students and studied closely with Dr. Feldenkrais from 1973-1984 in the U.S., Europe, and at the Feldenkrais Institute in Israel. He has been involved with the practice and development of the Feldenkrais Method for more than 30 years, and is one of the world’s foremost Feldenkrais Teachers and Trainers.

With Elizabeth Beringer, David founded Feldenkrais Resources in 1983. Feldenkrais Resources is the primary publisher of Dr. Feldenkrais’ English language books and audio programs, as well as programs from the world’s leading Feldenkrais Teachers and Trainers. In 2005, David co-founded the Feldenkrais Institute of New York, a large center devoted to the work of Dr. Feldenkrais. In 2007, he also co-founded the Feldenkrais Research Foundation, a non-profit devoted to initiating and supporting scientific research on the Feldenkrais Method. The first projects of Feldenkrais Research Foundation will be to look at the efficacy of the Feldenkrais Method with Multiple Sclerosis, scoliosis, and recovery of mobility from mastectomies.

David is the long time Educational Director of the New York City, and Washington, D.C./Baltimore Feldenkrais Method Training Programs. The programs attract students from across the U.S. and Europe, and the faculties are composed almost entirely of teachers who studied directly with Dr. Feldenkrais. David has taught in Feldenkrais Training programs throughout the U.S. and Europe, and teaches popular post-graduate courses for graduates.

Since 1977, David has maintained an ongoing and varied private practice working with a diverse population including those with severe movement limitations, neurological problems, children, seniors, world-class musicians, dancers, actors, and those in chronic pain. Since 2004, David has been teaching the Feldenkrais Method each summer at the prestigious Marlboro Music Festival in Marlboro, VT.

David is a Honors graduate of UC Berkeley, with extensive post-graduate work in physiological psychology, and is the co-author of Relaxercise (HarperCollins), a popular introduction to the Feldenkrais Method. In addition, he has authored many Feldenkrais audio programs for both the public and Feldenkrais Teachers. For many years David has been involved in the development of clinical and workplace applications of the Feldenkrais Method, and has taught courses for physical and occupational therapists throughout the United States.

David has served as President of the Feldenkrais Guild, and for nearly a decade sat on the Training Accreditation Board of the Feldenkrais Guild of North America. He lives with his wife and three children in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

My son was severely neurologically injured in an athletic accident. David was able to do what no one else could do. I have witnessed the benefits of the Feldenkrais Method and the results are amazing. I now have my healthy normal child again.

After suffering a serious stroke 10 years ago, my doctor told me I would never walk again. Thanks to David Zemach-Bersin and the Feldenkrais Method I am still walking today.
