online lessons

Individual or group lessons with a practitioner are the best way to take advantage of what the work offers but sometimes that isn’t practical.

Online audio lessons are a wonderful substitute. The new perspectives these lessons offer assist you to understand what is going on in your body and give you a new experience of ease and freedom. For those already having sessions with a practitioner they are a great resource for developing your own practice.

The first lessons in this list are simple and easy to do. They still make a big difference. The first one was recorded thirty years ago! The lessons further down are more current. The most recent lessons are at the end of the list. They offer a deeper experience .. asking you to pay closer attention to the stillness of your focus and the sensations of life in your body.

Take it easy and remember that in this work, less is more! Contact me if you have questions.

 

KNEES TO THE SIDE 
free introductory lesson

This lesson takes about 45 minutes and will give a good sense of how very small movements when performed with close attention can make a big difference. Take it easy! Make very small movements so you can pay attention closely. In the Feldenkrais Method, awareness of movement is more important than the movement itself.

 

 

The Heavenly Gait
& Other earthly pleasures

The Heavenly Gait and & Earthly Pleasures is a set of seven 45 –50 minute Awareness Through Movement (ATM) lessons, one 18-minute mini-lesson and a 30-minute lecture Is the Universe Friendly?

ATM lessons are not exercises in the traditional sense. They are pleasurable and deeply relaxing movement explorations that can have a profound influence on the way you think, move, feel and function. In each lesson you do only one ‘exercise’ and you do it with a minimum of force and a maximum of conscious awareness. You are guided through a sequence of movements that are all related to a functional theme such as walking or bending. It becomes easier as you learn to spread the effort to move throughout your body. The freedom you experience after a lesson can make everyday actions feel like bliss.

Awareness Through Movement lessons have many layers and can be done again and again with continuing benefit.

The seven lessons of The Golden Suit explore the use of touch as a means to enhance perception.

The Golden suit

The seven lessons of The Golden Suit explore the use of touch as a means to enhance perception. Touch is at the heart of your ability to explore, understand and interact with your world.

Consider the way you use your hands, feet and skin when exploring your environment, along with its objects and beings. The way you hold things ..   How you rub, squeeze, press or lift them to understand. How you use your hands to sense whether a peach is ripe or to assess the character of a person whose hand you may be shaking. It’s not just the things you touch directly. It’s how you feel the proximity of a person or the mood of wherever you are.

Using your hands and skin to explore your own body adds another perspective to the awareness of movement and the experience of inner life. It’s the capacity to hold, filter and connect sensory experience into a malleable whole.
