Enjoy!
"Find Freedom and Length In the
Chest"
This lesson can make you feel (or actually be) inches
taller- find the natural openness in the torso without trying to lift the chest
or pull the shoulders in (or any other postural instructions we or others give
ourselves)- Imagine the kind of chest we all had when we were three years old-
free belly, open chest, free breath, ahhh.
"Effortless Upright Sitting"
Lets face it, we all sit too much. The hours we logged in our childhood
desks, the times behind the wheel, in front of the screen...Well, this lesson
can help to make that sitting easier, less shlumpy- remember there is a frame
that you can rest on, its called a skeleton.
"Discovering and Releasing the Hip Joints"
Free hip joints are essential for skillful, organized movement. For
many of us, we don't even know where they are, let alone if they are free of
tension. This lesson helps you to clarify your experience of the hip joint, and
free up the movement potential that is available.
"Intelligent Feet-Foot Movements On Belly"
This lesson helps to restore some of the movement repertoire that we
have lost in our feet and ankles. Like all Feldenkrais lessons, it will stretch
the brain more than the muscles. Recovering the coordinated movement of the foot
and ankle can greatly impact the health and function of the knees and hips.
"Free The Pelvis"
If you were stranded on a desert island, and only had one Feldenkrais lesson-
well, this would be a good one- you could refine it for years!
"Working With the Dominant Hand"
Often our hands and wrists can carry huge amounts of invisible (or very visible)
tension. This lesson helps to release tension that has accumulated while
deepening the capacity for refined, coordinated movement. Because the hands have
so much representation in our sensory motor cortex, releasing tension and
refining the movement in the hands can have a profound impact on the whole self.
"Arm and Shoulder Movements on Front"
This lesson can be a solvent for stubborn holding patterns in the neck, arms and
shoulders.
"Freeing The Pelvis Sitting In a Chair"
A Free Pelvis and sitting in a Chair might sound like and oxymoron, but its
possible! This is a great lesson for discovering skeletal neutral in sitting.
This can be a wonderful refresh button if (by chance) you spend more time than
you would like to at the computer each day.
"The Expansive Breath"
An average adult uses only a small fraction of her breath capacity- what would
it be like to have a car that could only have 1 gallon of gas in a 10 gallon
tank? This lesson explores where we can release the muscular holding that
prevents a complete, nourishing breath.
"Spiraling from the Back"
This lesson is one of those where you
can do it once, and never get up the same way again! A wonderful chance to find
grace and ease in one of our common transitions.
"Spiraling from Sitting"
What if getting up and down from the floor didn't have to involve grunts and
efforts, but could be an easy, enjoyable- even fun transition?
"Awakening the Intelligent Feet"
Learn to awaken
the intelligence, coordination and responsiveness that often lies dormant in our
feet and toes after a life on thick soled shoes and flat ground.
"Lifting the Leg with Ease"
A
wonderful lesson for opening up freedom of movement in the hip joints and back.
"Finding Your Feet on the Ground"
This standing lesson helps to clarify the alignment of the ankles, knees and
hips, along with establishing a sense of connection down through the feet.
"Opening Breathing Space"
This is one of our favorite Feldenkrais lessons. It is a great way to
open room for a fresh, spontaneous, enlivening breath.
"Freedom in the Jaw, Shoulders and Pelvis"
This lesson explores the connections between the jaw, neck, pelvis and
shoulders.
"Opening the Chest, Relaxing the
Shoulders"
Ahhh, you could call this lesson the antidote to email
posture...
"Improve Your Golf Game 1: Free Hip Joints"
Each of the 4 golfing lessons are useful for golfers and non golfers alike.
Here we explore how to free the hip joints while keeping length in the spine for
the swing.
"Improve Your Golf Game 2: Improving
Rotation"
This lesson explores how to increase your range of rotation (often by a
surprising amount) without stretching or straining.
"Improve Your Golf Game 3: Refining The Way
Shift Weight From Leg to Leg"
In tai chi there is a principle of "distinguishing empty and full," in this
lesson we explore what its like to fully organize over one leg, and how to
gradually shift the weight over the other- an essential skill for a golf swing,
or just walking down the street.
"Improve Your Golf Game 4:
Differentiation in Rotation"
This lesson explores how to let some parts of ourselves rotate while others
stay still- while this is a crucial aspect of a golf swing, to keep an eye on
the ball, it is also helpful for walking, running and a host of other human
functions.
