Hi. I feel taller . thank you
Thank you sooooooooooo much Nick! Truely generous
I began exploring Feldenkrais 5 years ago and then let it slide until recently. I re-read “The Potent Self” and it reignited my interest. I read and re-read the many chapters and followed with the suggested movements.
I have had some significant breakthroughs with back and hip flexibility which made walking pleasurable, perhaps for the first time that I can remember. Thank-you Moshe FeldenKrais
