Movement is Life with the Feldenkrais Method®

Bones for Support

Feldenkrais lesson with Shelagh O'Neill

It’s a jelly-like lesson, which starts slowly. It’s about asking the bones to line up and relate directly to each other for support. Clarity of support leads to clarity of posture. If we know our support well, movement happens from a place where anything is possible, rather than holding on.

Sphinx - Freeing the Neck and Shoulders

Feldenkrais lesson with Joe Reynolds

This lesson makes use of an unusual position that allows gravity to help your shoulders slide back more easily. The movements are more challenging, but can be highly effective if you move gently and in your comfortable range.

Ease in Turning Supports Better Posture

Feldenkrais lesson with Nikhila Em Ludlow

Isn't it hard work, all this remembering to 'stand up straight', 'shoulders back', 'chin up!' being examples of the many and varied messages we typically had drilled into us as kids? There is another way:  

Your spine, that wonderful chain of interlocking bones that is both at once flexible and strong, topped by your head, pelvis at its base, is a fundamental key to better posture.  Not so much by holding them in a certain way which has to be done via conscious thought, but by awareness combined with attention to the motion of rotating it around itself.  This is what this lesson explores, gently, simply, lightly.

Expanding Horizons

Feldenkrais lesson with Tina Tribe

Expanding Horizons: Lifting the head from lying on the stomach. 

Lifting the head is a basic function taken from the sequence of human development. Control of lifting the head is necessary before other steps of the developmental sequence can take place: rolling over, crawling, sitting, standing and walking. Re-visiting such a basic function can have a profound effect on being upright.

Breath and Posture

Feldenkrais lesson with Victoria Worsley

Effortless Uprightness

Feldenkrais lesson with Jackie Adkins

The lesson encourages flexibility of the spine, by differentiating each vertebra one from the other. The spine is lifted from the pelvis and also from the head.

Exploring Balance to Improve Sitting

Feldenkrais lesson with Juliana Brustik

This lesson examines how we shift our weight over our sit-bones. We improve our stability by feeling how we connect to these bones, the foundation of our sitting.

Tilting to the Side on One Leg

Feldenkrais lesson with Lars Fischer

In this lesson, you will explore what it means to balance on one leg with your head off centre. It connects you more to your breath and hopefully clarifies how we navigate our relationship with gravity.
