Project Overview

Mind in Motion is the Feldenkrais teacher-training school established by Larry Goldfarb, a world-reknowned Feldenkrais trainer, in the 1980’s. Larry hired me to create every iteration of the MIMO website since 2015, and developing the library system and ‘Lesson Locator’ for his school.

Design Philosophy

The website is a portal to decades of Feldenkrais coursework, including streaming class video and audio materials. The user interfaces are minimal and have member access controls built into the CRM system that are integrated with automated processes. Students are able to search and stream coursework recordings that they have either purchased from the shop area, or have participated in as in-person or remote students.
