Recovering the Natural Length of the Spine

Feldenkrais Lesson with Philippa Castell

This lesson aims to help you find new options and freedom for moving, in a direction which we generally spend less time exploring once we are adults.  

The aim is not to strengthen the extensor muscles but to make more skilful use of them, and to explore how the whole back can be responsive to our intention to look around the room while we're lying on the belly.

As you do this lesson, start gently, move slowly, and rest as often as you need.  Emphasise curiosity over ambition; curiosity about new sensations, about how your intention to look around your environment can help you discover a more integrated, less effortful way of moving. Focus less on achievement and more on discovering ease, comfort and enjoyment.

Becoming More Balanced

Lying on the back, moving the knees side to side both with feet on the floor and in the air to feel your weight shifting, find more comfort and what it is like to be in balance.

The Space Behind

A lesson by Josephine Horder

Starting by taking a few steps backward to sense the space behind you, this ATM is then done lying down on the back. It opens up the feeling behind you so standing again feels different.
