The Feldenkrais Guild UK is the non-profit professional organisation of practitioners and teachers of the Feldenkrais Method® in the UK. Members are graduates of internationally-recognised training programmes, are fully insured, and are accountable to the Guild's Code of Ethics. (There is a copy of the Code of Ethics in the Articles section of this website.) Full members may use the letters “FG(UK)” after their names. The Guild also promotes awareness of the Method and the continuing education of practitioners.

As a courtesy, any student of a recognised Feldenkrais professional training programme, when given permission by their Educational Director to teach on a provisional basis as a Student Teacher, or any graduate of a recognised Feldenkrais professional training programme, may use the registered trademark whether they are members of the Guild or not.

The logo (which appears in the upper left hand corner of this page) is the registered trademark of the SFV Schweizerischer Feldenkrais Verband; by arrangement through the International Feldenkrais foundation, members of the Feldenkrais Guild UK (Student Teacher or Practitioner members) may also use the logo. This permission is not extended to non-members of the Guild.
There are several types of membership of the Guild:
- Full Members are practitioners who have completed a recognised training and are currently resident in the UK. “Recognised training” refers to a training programme accredited by one of the three Training Accreditation Boards, or to a training programme conducted by Mia Segal or Yochanan Rywerant which finished before 2005.
- Associate Members are practitioners who have completed a non-accredited training programme conducted by Eli Wadler, or one conducted by Mia Segal or Yochanan Rywerant which finished during or after 2005, and who are currently resident in the UK.
- Overseas Members are practitioners who have completed a recognised training, but are not currently resident in the UK.
- Student Members are currently enrolled in a recognised training.
- Student Teachers are currently enrolled in a recognised training, and certified by the Educational Director of the Training as eligible to teach.
- Friends are people interested in the Feldenkrais Method, and in supporting the work of the Guild.
Current membership fees: The annual fee for Full and Associate Members is £115 (£85 in the first full year of membership); £35 for Overseas Members; free for Student Members; £52 for Student Teachers; and £25 for Friends. (These amounts are for the membership year beginning 1 October; fees for joining later in the year are pro rata.) Practitioner Members (whether in the UK or abroad) and Student Teacher Members must provide evidence of Professsional Liability Insurance and indicate their willingness to comply with the Guild's Code of Ethics.
Members of the Guild receive the Guild newsletter, are invited to Guild study and discussion days, and receive discounts for Guild-sponsored courses.
