About us
Our story
Our association was founded in the spring of 2024 with the primary goal of making regular Feldenkrais Method and Anat Baniel Method Neuromovement lessons available to families of children with specific needs.We have had the best personal experiences with these methods for several years with our children and ourselves. That is why we decided to bring them to Zlín. What we did not expect, however, was the enormous interest of parents, thanks to which we moved to larger premises in the city center after a few months. It is now equipped with two adjoining rooms.
The statutory body and main contact person is the chairwoman of the association, Hana Beníčková. Due to the increase in the agenda associated with the normal operation of the association, she gave up plans to resume her law practice and since October 2025 she has been training new lecturers of the Anat Baniel Method Neuromovement method. There is no lecturer of this method in the Czech Republic yet.
“The first time we heard Emu use the words yes and no functionally was when the teacher gave her a choice and waited for the answer.”

“We were absolutely fascinated by how Kristýnka cooperated and responded to Mark. She smiled at him right from the first meeting and it was in this spirit that every lesson was like that. Our fears that we wouldn't be able to manage it twice a day did not come true and we were happy to see Kristýnka enjoying it. At 28 months, she is slowly starting to crawl a few centimeters. We are already looking forward to the next lessons.”

Positive reviews
Positive responses and words of thanks from parents are what convince us that we are doing the right thing and we intend to continue doing it. “He started humming tunes, he looks into the eyes even more, he understands more complex sentences better, our menu has expanded again and what's great is that sometimes he even tastes the food. He plays with his older brother more now, which is an indescribable sight for us.”

"Our son has started to perceive us more in terms of our tasks and the wishes we have for him at the given time, he perceives himself more as a person who is troubled, hurt or happy by something what he just did. He started tasting everything from the food. From therapy, she points with her finger to what she feels like or to choose, for example, what she wants, a new toothbrush. The socialization side was very weak in Miky. He didn't like changes, places, people. Now he has no problem on this side. Yes, he is afraid, but he looks around without any negative emotional manifestations. When it comes to personal hygiene, dining, dressing, he is visibly better than his friends in kindergarten. From day to day, the tablet that was still with him broke down. He started sleeping through the night, without a break. He woke up several times a night. It's unbelievable for us. These are small steps to make our children better and better for this world. If any parents read the reviews and are hesitant to go for it, BELIEVE IT! These are new ways to help them.”
