Little Dip: What Action Is Good? Feldenkrais’s Answer
This question is Moshe Feldenkrais’s title for lesson #2 in his book Awareness Through Movement, which he wrote to introduce his method to the masses. His answer is multi-faceted, fascinating, and worth studying intellectually and experientially.

Self Empowerment Workshop

Includes a FREE talk and two ATM lessons for donors, plus discussion. Lesson #1, Heel Spirals Through Buttocks, Hips, and Shoulders (back-lying), combines and refines ideas from the three Lifting Up and Through lessons (linked below). Lesson #2, Integrating the Feet for Potent Uprightness (back-lying), grounds us in another way, making all that we do in gravity easier. This workshop is a literally uplifting celebration of finding inner strength with Feldenkrais!
Little Dip: “Use your glutes!” they say. But how?
We’ve all heard it before, but simply flexing your buttocks more vigorously doesn’t always help the movement and postural problems its supposed to. And we often forget about them the moment we stop trying to use them consciously. 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 video lesson)
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 may seem different on the surface, but they all point to global patterns of lifting ourselves into effective action through clarified connections with the earth.
Lifting Up and Through 2: Organizing Your Feet
(Members & Patrons video lesson)
Directly related to Lifting Up and Through 1, but may be explored before or after it. A more detailed teaching of our popular Activating the Arches lesson. There are screen share illustrations and many unique variations, and it’s especially tuned for walking.
Little Dip: Reflection and Lessons – We Evolved for Easy Walking
We evolved to enjoy our whole self moving 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. But our cultural environment makes it hard to claim this birthright.
Little Dip: What Is Good Posture? Feldenkrais’s Answer
This question is Moshe Feldenkrais’s title for lesson #1 in his book Awareness Through Movement, which he wrote to introduce his method to the masses. His answer from the lesson introduction is simple, precise, and probably not what you’d guess.
