Skillful Scapulas Make Graceful Arms and Hands (Patrons)

In this mostly back-lying lesson you'll discover lighter, more graceful arms and hands as you learn to support and counter-balance their movements by skillfully engaging your scapulas. Later you'll integrate your pelvis and legs. This lesson has surprising benefits for posture and confidence, and improves everyday activities like cooking, typing, and playing an instrument.

Turning from a Spacious Center, Connecting Torso and Legs (46m, Patrons)

While cultivating an almost meditative awareness of breath and spaciousness in the tanden (lower abdomen), you'll explore fascinating side-lying movements: one hand is on your knee or shin as you organize your legs, hips, pelvis, torso, and head in curious actions of folding, arching, rolling, and twisting. Discover powerful, flexible legs and easy, confident upright action. As one participant said, perhaps you'll find your "hips are really ready for the Olympic games...."

Spiraling into Circling the Arm Under (Patrons)

First we review the lesson called A Spiral of Length and Power, then we explore a riddle in the realm of “making the impossible, possible”: from lying on your back, one knee bent, foot engaged to turn you onto your side, how can you become supple enough to learn to circle the arm you’re lying on under your body? Adaptations, kindness, and patience are in the foreground, leading to wonderful new freedoms in your shoulders, ribs, spine, neck, posture, and day-to-day function. At the end, an exploration of simpler actions reinforces your learning – even if you couldn't “do” the whole lesson yet.

Rotating, Interlacing, and Integrating the Hands, into Palms Lengthening Overhead (Patrons)

Reduce anxiety and organize your nervous system by refining simple, pleasurable actions of your hands, arms, and shoulders. Integrate them better with your head and eyes. Eventually expands into lengthening your whole self, with surprising effects on stability. Framed by brief explorations in standing.

Six Lessons for Anxiety

In this "little dip" you'll learn why Feldenkrais lessons have a profound calming effect on an anxious mind, and experience this phenomenon for yourself. The Feldenkrais learning process typically reduces anxiety and calms the mental landscape faster and more reliably than "working on" our thoughts and feelings directly.

Arms in a Hoop, with Continuous Ground Support (Patrons)

Back-lying, feet standing. Explore turning and twisting movements of the shoulders, pelvis, head, and eyes with arms held in a loose hoop in front of you, and find a flowing sense of ground support through your feet and back. Framed by detailed experiments in standing which connect your mat learning to upright life.

Bonus Video Content

The FP's lessons are mostly audio because it's the best medium for most at-home Feldenkrais study. But there are exceptions, and our Members & Patrons have exclusive access!

What Action Is Good? Feldenkrais's Answer

This "little dip" includes a talk and lessons. We explore Moshe Feldenkrais’s answer to his titular question for lesson #2 in his book Awareness Through Movement. His answer is multi-faceted, fascinating, and worth studying intellectually and experientially.

Breathing for Liftoff (35m + 25m, Patrons)

This pair of short lessons is designed to be completed together the first time, or with a short break between them.

  • Lesson 2 (begin at 34:00) - Experiment with the elasticity of both the ground and your breathing apparatus, and directly experience what physicists call ground reaction forces.

    I love this new search. The choices of duration, challenge, position enable me to specify-for myself-what I want to do with myself today.

    Hi Nick,

    Having done a search, is it possible to “save” the result?

    • Nick Strauss-Klein on February 1, 2024 at 6:18 pm

      We haven’t considered that feature, but we do have something coming out for all our Members and Patrons very soon that should help: the ability to mark lessons as “saved” or “favorites”. [UPDATE: Done! Check out My Journey.]
