Softening the Hands and Eyes + Q&A
(Members & Patrons bonus video)
In this special event Nick answers questions about Feldenkrais study and leads donors in an ATM lesson. Back-lying.

Breathing Tall + Q&A
(Members & Patrons bonus video)
In this special event Nick answers questions about Feldenkrais study and leads donors in “Breathing Tall.” This ATM lesson is a unique combination of internal vertical movements (paradoxical “seesaw” breathing movements) with external vertical movements up and down your mat, leading to a refined vertical organization and sense of the plumb line of gravity when you stand up.
