Improving Together: Using Lesson Notes & Comments

This tab is always open when you load a lesson, since your comfort is essential to your success while learning. It’s the only tab we really want to make sure you see, so please take a moment before pressing play to read suggestions specific to this lesson.

We’ll also add details that may be useful to better understand the configurations (position or positions) you will be in while studying.

Here we address common misunderstandings or add further details to things mentioned in the lesson recording.

This tab is used to prompt and address curiosities about this lesson: often it’s got anatomy information, connections to movement and learning outside of Feldenkrais, elaborations on details mentioned in the recording, and sometimes additional variations that we didn’t have time for in class.

This tab will always show you what collection the lesson is in. Sometimes, we’ll share other useful study context such as another recommended way to approach or follow the lesson (besides in the order it appears in its collection).

Logged in donors (Members and Patrons) can click a link to download the lesson’s MP3 in this tab. This benefit is available for most of our lessons, and it’s one of our ways to say “thank you” to the donors who support The Feldenkrais Project!

Logged in donors (Members and Patrons) will find my comments about how I studied and developed this lesson, often including publicly available ATM lesson recordings from other practitioners, which can be purchased from them for further study.

Sometimes sources are more geared toward Feldenkrais Practitioners, like the Alexander Yanai or Esalen lessons.

Some of my lessons are homegrown. For them I write a note about my influences and thinking.

Access to this tab is one of our “thank you” benefits to the donors who support The Feldenkrais Project!

For further study, logged in donors (Members and Patrons) will find cross-referenced titles and links to other Feldenkrais Project lessons which address themes from this lesson.

And while you’re logged in, the lesson search bars on our site will turn up these cross-references in all the Related Lessons tabs too, giving you a robust way to see which lessons are connected as you follow the learning you are most interested in.

Access to this tab and our advanced lesson search are “thank you” benefits to the donors who support The Feldenkrais Project!

This tab appears on lessons where alternate teachings are available in our Legacy and Alternate Lessons collection. Access to these lessons is one of our ways we say “thank you” to our Patrons!

Occasionally we replace a primary lesson from our collections with a rerecorded teaching, a refinement based on Nick’s learning and listener feedback. When that happens the original goes into the Legacy and Alternate Lessons collection. There’s just two in that collection at launch, but it will grow slowly over time.
