Back-lying, learning to use the feet – and later, the arms in a self-hug position – to roll the body and reach to the sides. Setting up later lessons in this collection through developing suppleness of the torso and integration of the feet and eyes as they relate to smooth weight-shifting. "Walking" the hips and shoulders along the floor. Recorded in a series of classes about posture, balance, and grace.
A course of Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement (ATM) audio lessons. Each can be studied on its own, or you can work your way through the whole series to learn in-depth how to better organize your torso to reduce pain and stress, and improve your comfort, flexibility, breathing, posture, balance, and power.
If you’re just beginning Feldenkrais study, please start instead with our Getting Oriented lessons.
The lessons below can be repeated as you wish, just follow your curiosity! If a lesson isn’t comfortable initially, it’s fine to skip it and come back to it later; you don’t have to go through them in this order. When there’s a close link between adjacent lessons, it’s mentioned in the Context tab of the lesson notes.

I feel exercise of this type will help improve movement with arthritis.
