Intelligent Movements of the Foot

Feldenkrais Lesson with Garet Newell

This lesson explores the various movements of the 26 bones and 27 joints of this extraordinary part of our anatomy. Our feet need to be intelligent, ie sensing, feeling and reacting to the changing environment so that we can more easily maintain our balance.

Balance & Uprightness - Eyes & Pelvis

A Feldenkrais ATM with Nikhila Em Ludlow.

The eyes and the pelvic floor have many different functions, but one they share is the sense of balance and uprightness so needed for ease of orientation in space.

Counting Out Seconds

Feldenkrais Lesson with Scott Clark

The Feldenkrais Method enables us to explore a huge range of human behaviour, from aspects of anatomy and movement to more abstract issues like attention. Indeed, attention is the primary tool by which the Method works; in that, it is somewhat similar to meditation.

Here is a story from the Buddhist tradition that may be useful: a musician asked the Buddha to explain meditation. The Buddha said “You are a lute player; meditation is like tuning the lute. Your attention must not be too tight, nor must it be too loose!”

This lesson explores exactly that - a way to tune your attention. It’s done while sitting, so find a chair or stool with a more or less flat, level seat, and sit with your feet in good contact with the floor. I hope you find the lesson enjoyable & useful!
