Did you catch Nick's new talk, "What Action Is Good?"
"This was the best I have ever heard about Feldenkrais! Thank you so much for explaining it so clearly!!!" -Anna
That talk will stay free, but a classic lesson that illustrates it is only unlocked until May 6, in honor of what would be Feldenkrais's 120th birthday!
Find them both here, and please share!
Lengthening the Arms, Freeing the Scapulas (33m, Patrons)
Back-lying, knees bent, arms often resting loosely upwards on the floor, and in self-hug position at other times. Lengthening the arms, differentiating the head, and expanding the mobility and self-image of the shoulder blades (scapulas).

This lesson makes me want to explore further. I’ll try some of the related lessons.
I’m recovering from a torn rotator cuff 5 weeks now, and this is a great way tofind how to move around the limited shoulder and experiment with different angles of lengthening, so that arm is not straight elbow, but still doing many variations out of gravity.
Excellent, thanks for sharing! Yes, with the arm supported by the floor, elbow bent as needed, there are great options in this lesson to safely explore what movements are possible as you heal.
