In 1990 Yael started to study the Feldenkrais method at the Feldenkrais Institute in Israel and in 1994 she received her certification as a Feldenkrais Practitioner from the International Feldenkrais Federation (IFF).

Up to date, Yael A. Calif continues to teach many classes and treats adults, teenagers, children and infants in the Feldenkrais method.
During her teaching and interaction with school age children Yael noticed many students with physical limitations who suffered from low self-esteem and lack of motivation. It occurred to Yael that the proper intervention at a young age could have prevented their future difficulties. This experience motivated her to start studying in 2005 the Child'Space method with Dr. Chava Shelhav who developed this unique method of senso-motor feedback to help infants and young children with their physical development.
After finishing her studies of the "Child Space" method Yael began to teach it helping parents and their babies – both infants with normal development and infants with developmental delays. She believes that it is crucial to make sure that children develop their optimal motor skills from birth.
In 2007 Yael became a senior assistant to Dr. Chava Shelhav who ran her Child'Space training programs in three facilities: Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, the Beit Issie Shapiro Rehabilitation Center, in Tel Aviv and the Wingate Institute.
Yael taught all together nine training-programs with Dr. Shelhav.

Since then Yael established two training programs in Haifa- Israel. She is currently managing a training program in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Child'Space method is based on several important principles that meet Yael's believes, in particular:
- Children can best improve their skills when they are actively engaged in experimental learning through play and enjoyable activities.

Osnat Morag
In 1985 Osnat began her professional career as a Science Teacher. This field of science includes among others, the human body and its functioning, the subject that interested her very much. In her capacity as a school teacher, Osnat worked not only with regular students, but also with special needs students, including those with ADHD syndrome or children with various of physical difficulties and disabilities. In course of her work, Osnat noticed that body disorganization in many cases resulted in low self-esteem image that had ultimately prevented children from succeeding in their studies and achieving academic degrees. She came to understanding that in order to help older children, one has to start from birth, and she started to look for a field that deals with the sensory-motor development.
After receiving warm recommendations for Dr. Chava Shelhav and her method called Child'Space, she began her studies at the training program at Assaf Harofeh Hospital and in 2011 she graduated as a Child'Space practitioner.
