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. Gentle movements of the hands and careful covering of the eyes relax and improve them, and calm the whole nervous system. Designed to reduce anxiety and bring us home to a quieter sense of ourselves.
Smoothing the Movements of the Jaw and Eyes + Q&A
(Members & Patrons bonus event)
Back-lying. A review and expansion on elements of Nick’s lesson called Easing the Jaw, Neck, and Shoulders, with a particular focus on relationships of the jaw and eyes. Helpful for improving TMJ troubles and easing the neck, chest, and shoulders, improving visual acuity, calming the nervous system and reducing anxiety, and more.

(Members & Patrons bonus video)
