Effortless Legs and Hips (Patrons)

"The sensation of effort is the subjective feeling of wasted movement," wrote Moshe Feldenkrais, admitting that at first this idea sounds "utterly preposterous". This side-lying lesson probes his assertion by developing large movements of one foot sweeping along the floor while making precise distinctions between necessary muscular contractions and "effort." If you can resist trying hard, you'll find an esthetically pleasing dance of your whole self with benefits for uprightness, expansiveness, gait, and perhaps even the way you meet difficulty in regular life. See the Curiosities tab for more info.

Sliding the Sternum, Twisting with the Miracle of “Just What’s Comfortable” (Patrons)

This alternate teaching of Sliding the Sternum takes the same Moshe Feldenkrais source lesson in different directions. Spatial awareness, developmental connections, integrating the arms, the length of the axis, and spiraling up and away from the legs are all emphasized in movements exploring how the sternum supports twisting with length.

Essence for “Experts”: Flexors and Extensors from the Hips and Waist (Patrons)

A distillation of Moshe Feldenkrais's classic Coordinating the Flexors and Extensors lesson. Great for review and for finding a more specific understanding of the role of the hip joints and waistline muscles as conductors of turning actions. When we listen deeply to Moshe and ourselves, we learn that tipping triangle arms and crossed legs further and further is not the point of this famous lesson. The most profound benefits for spinal health, posture, and gait are hidden in the details.

Curiosity, Not Mastery: Three Dimensional Shoulder and Hip Circles (Patrons)

Familiar ATM explorations are cast in a new light as we discover how the torso interacts with the ground and reshapes itself three dimensionally to generate action in faraway parts of the body. Later, a few playfully elaborate variations humble us all, but the goal is curiosity, not mastery. Notice how much change takes place, how much more ease and control is created, when "failure" is lighthearted. Framed with brief explorations of the diagonal relationships of walking.

Essence for “Experts”: Whole Body Arms (Patrons)

A review version of this lesson. Organize action from your head, spine, and tail, and refresh their functional relationships with your shoulders. Then it's time for the arms: twist, roll, reach, and circle them while sustaining whole body awareness.

Long Belly, Strong Back: Expanded Workshop Version (Patrons)

A 3-minute talk introduces the workshop. Then, after a few explorations in standing, you'll lie down and dive into quiet, precise movements of your pubic bone, sternum, scapulas, and sitbones designed to organize your spine and hips for powerful action and easier uprightness. Late in the lesson, juxtapose your new skills with common movement habits that diminish our abilities and confidence: do you press the ground or lift up and through? Are your hips in front of the action or behind it? The more clearly you sense these differences in all that you do, the better life gets.

Head Under the Gap, Supine (Patrons)

A new approach to a classic Feldenkrais lesson originally designed to clarify extension patterns in your shoulders, thoracic, and neck. After briefly introducing its challenges, this version backs up and uses the context of our Long Belly, Strong Back lessons to build pelvic and spinal support for the eventual return of arching and turning your scapulas and sternum with a bridged hand. Great for posture, breath, athletics, confidence, and groundedness. Framed with brief standing explorations.
