    How many times do you suggest we do a lesson before we move on to the next one?

      Your ability to learn and benefit the most from each lesson is based on your comfort and curiosity, so if you’re thoroughly enjoying a lesson and you feel like you’re getting a lot out of it and want more, go ahead and repeat it, even multiple times over a few days.

      However, studying Feldenkrais lessons is not about mastery or performance. It’s truly exploratory movement, and the value is in the fullness of your engagement with it. If anything feels rote, it’s time to move on.

      A lot of people will go straight through a collection of lessons like this one and then start over, or revisit their favorites. It’s also ok to “graduate” immediately after completing Getting Oriented and head into our other collections.
