This workshop is also available on YouTube where it can be shared, but the Members & Patrons version below features gallery view, lesson notes, and no ads.
Back-lying. This 75-minute event combines abbreviated versions of two lessons Nick often teaches together in his in-person feet workshops. Great for introducing or reviewing study of these Feldenkrais Project favorites:
- Lesson #1: Breath, Belly, Back, and Hips
- Lesson #2: Activating the Arches
We offer over 50 free lessons, but this one’s just for our donors. You can learn about it in the lesson notes below, but to access the video you’ll need to join The FP as Member or Patron. Learn more

Comfort & Configuration:
Rest as often as necessary, and focus on making all movements light, easy, slow, and smooth. You can take a break between the lessons by pausing at the 47 minute mark.
Curiosities:
The metatarsals are the five “palm bones” of your feet. The head of a metatarsal is the joint where it meets the toe it is connected to. The head of the fourth metatarsal is at the base of the fourth toe (the one next to the pinky toe).
For more on why and how we integrate the feet with the whole self and the ground, check out this Feldenkrais Guild interview with Trainer Jeff Haller called Fascinating Feet! Understanding The Foundation Of Our Movement. Topics covered include skeletal support, changing habits, shoes, and walking.

Had to share this fun card I received from Judy B. who attended this class live way back on day one of pandemic quarantine Zooms:
Zoom FKRAIS was fabu! The tripod foot is helping my tree pose immensely!
