Feldenkrais historian Moti Nativ has found early indications of Dr. Feldenkrais being very well acquainted with yoga practice. He writes,

The first Yoga book published in Israel was in 1958 titled Yoga and Health by Selvarajan Yesudian.  Dr. Feldenkrais was invited to write the foreword for this book.

Feldenkrais welcomed the book and the author and gave his appreciation to Hatha Yoga. Among other things he wrote:

Every exercise is good, if performed properly, like every word is good, if used appropriately. The essence therefore is to learn the “how” and not the “what” to do. So, the essence is to learn HOW to practice Yoga…the author realizes it and dedicates a special chapter to slow movements” (translation by Moti Nativ).

When the Indian Yoga master, Bala Krishnan, visited and taught in Israel, it was Dr. Feldenkrais that was first on stage to introduce Yoga and the Yoga Master.
