The Tongue and the Spine (Patrons)
Chair-seated and back-lying. Dive deeper into the many connections between the eyes, jaw, tongue, neck, shoulders, spine, and breath by reviewing and expanding ATM techniques from our previous jaw lessons. See the Context notes for recommended study order for these lessons.
We offer over 50 free lessons, but this one's just for our Patron-level donors. You can learn about it in the free lesson notes and comments below, but to access the audio you’ll need to join The FP as a Patron. Learn more

What an incredible way to mobilize the neck from the inside out! And, yes, my face feels so much more relaxed.
Thank you Nick. I felt my whole body light up a bit. When my tongue was moving all around my mouth in a clockwise and counterclockwise fashion my head and pelvis were also moving. You did not say the pelvis would move too but it felt correct so I let it happen.I will try this lesson weekly for a while to see if i can get my tongue to move in a more coordinated fashion.
Great that your pelvis is moving. Yes, the rule in Feldenkrais is, unless a body part or direction of movement is specifically constrained, move freely with your whole self in the action your are exploring!
