Deep Dive: Grounding for Liftoff
Connect to the ground so clearly that you move as if weightless. Learn to draw the earth’s buoyancy up and through yourself and into action.
Self Empowerment Workshop
(Members & Patrons bonus video)
Includes two ATM lessons and a FREE talk
- Lesson #1, Heel Spirals Through Buttocks, Hips, and Shoulders (back-lying), combines and refines ideas from the three Lifting Up and Through lessons
- Lesson #2, Integrating the Feet for Potent Uprightness (back-lying), grounds us in another way, making all that we do in gravity easier
“Use your glutes!” they say. But how?
In this “little dip” of discussion and lessons we get to know the buttocks. Simply flexing them more vigorously doesn’t always help the movement and postural problems experts say it should. Between the size and power of the buttocks, and our cultural-social-sexual issues around them, it’s almost like we stereotype them as big dumb engines for the body…at best. At worst we actively ignore them, or even feel ashamed of them.
Lifting Up and Through 3: Buttocks and Buoyancy
(Members & Patrons bonus video)
This exploration of Feldenkrais’s classic buttocks lessons is especially tuned to improve walking. Along with Lifting Up and Through 1 & 2, these three closely-related lessons are designed to be explored and reviewed in any order. They all point to global patterns of lifting ourselves into effective action through clarified connections with the earth.
PSA: Feldenkrais Teacher Training Starts Soon!
Whether you simply want to immerse yourself as deeply as possible in Feldenkrais study or you’re planning to integrate Feldenkrais into your career, a Feldenkrais Professional Training Program is an amazing learning opportunity.
Joining a Feldenkrais training was one most significant and personally beneficial choices I’ve ever made, and not just because I’ve made a career teaching this method that I love. My Feldenkrais training was like an instruction manual for being human, and for life-long learning and maturing.
