Ben Gurion, Robert St. John, Moshe Feldenkrais, D. Sc.
There is a famous picture of Ben-Gurion, Prime Minister of Israel 1948-54 and 1955-63, standing on his head. Robert St. John in his Biography of Ben-Gurion, talks about the headstand on the beach as a visible result of his everyday appointments with Dr. Feldenkrais. Ben-Gurion’s wife called Feldenkrais Dr. Hocus Pocus (due to his non-traditional approach to helping people’s lives). Excerpts from St. John’s book can be seen at the site below.
