Today's Lesson
Each day we feature one freely offered lesson and one for our Patron-level donors. It’s like dropping into a Feldenkrais class!
Freely Offered
Mostly in back-lying, knees bent. Using a precise configuration of the shoulders and elbows to mobilize and build awareness of movements and relationships of the shoulders, shoulder blades, clavicles, sternum, spine, head, pelvis, and the whole rib structure.
For our 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.
The Feldenkrais Project is a crowd-funded labor of love. If you believe, like we do, that more people doing more Feldenkrais makes the world a better place, please join the Project to support our 50+ free lessons. Choose between the price of a good cup of coffee and what you’d pay to attend a single Feldenkrais or other movement class. If you join at the Patron level you can access 100 Patrons lessons like the one above.
