Edward Yu

Edward Yu is a Feldenkrais Practitioner, currently splitting time between Europe, North America and Asia. His interest in how people learn and process information has led him to bring the disparate fields of martial arts, dance, kinesiology, somatics, psychology, cognitive science, evolutionary biology, information theory and physical education into both his teaching and writing. The impetus for his first book, The Art of Slowing Down, came years after he quit running and triathloning and discovered that conventional approaches to training are not so effective in turning people into better athletes (though they are quite effective in making them discouraged and neurotic).

In his free time Edward likes to roll around on the floor, walk in circles and stare into space.
