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.

(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.
