Recorded live in a Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement (ATM) class, this lesson is copyright Nick Strauss-Klein, for personal use only.

Tip – what to wear

Study tip: Wear loose, comfortable clothes that are warm enough for quiet movement. Remove or avoid anything restrictive like belts or glasses.

Lesson 1: When you’re encouraged to make your legs comfortable (and not necessarily symmetrical) in the opening back-lying rest you may bend one or both knees so one or both feet are standing on the ground.

Lesson 2: This brief exploration uses a classic Moshe Feldenkrais learning strategy: it’s a fully asymmetrical lesson. You may find value in subsequent explorations by doing the lesson while lying on the other side (if both choices are comfortable).
