Six Lessons for Anxiety
In this “little dip” you’ll learn why Feldenkrais lessons have a profound calming effect on an anxious mind, and experience this phenomenon for yourself. The Feldenkrais learning process typically reduces anxiety and calms the mental landscape faster and more reliably than “working on” our thoughts and feelings directly.
Bonus Video Content
The FP’s lessons are mostly audio because it’s the best medium for most at-home Feldenkrais study. But there are exceptions, and our Members & Patrons have exclusive access!
What Action Is Good? Feldenkrais’s Answer
This “little dip” includes a talk and lessons. We explore Moshe Feldenkrais’s answer to his titular question for lesson #2 in his book Awareness Through Movement. His answer is multi-faceted, fascinating, and worth studying intellectually and experientially.

“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.

Reflection and Lessons: We Evolved for Easy Walking
In this “little dip” of discussion and lessons we explore how we evolved to move our whole self harmoniously, using the suppleness of our chest and torsos, integrated with our legs, to carry us around for miles a day with grace and ease. Our cultural environment makes it hard to claim this birthright.
