Feldenkrais Lesson with Hannah Wheeler
In walking we make a series of mini transitions, shifting our weight from foot to foot, one leg must be stable for the other to move freely. This Awareness Through Movement lesson explores how we can find more clarity of movement in the hip joints and pelvis to discover more ease in walking. In this lesson we lie on the side and explore ways to gently roll toward front lying, sensing and releasing muscle holding that is getting in our way. This is one of my favourite lessons for finding a more dynamic and grounded standing posture after - the movements we play with while lying down help us sense where our hip joints are so we can move in smoother more efficient ways.
I recommend taking a little time to walk after. As you transition from lying to standing and walking, notice if there is more simplicity and ease to the action of walking. As you also transition from this short time of sensing yourself moving to also paying attention to the world around you as you walk, can you retain some attention to the sensations in your body? How does this feel to you now?
Take the lesson at your own pace, adapt it if you need and listen to what feels right for you from the inside.
