Rolling the Arms, Relaxing the Spine
$3.99 View DetailsLike so many lessons, this one connects shoulders, pelvis, head and back. But you do it while exploring a key function of your arms. See if you can figure out why people call this lesson the "Errol Flynn." (Of course, that means you're old enough to know who Errol Flynn was :-))

Spinal Chain
$3.99 View DetailsWhat happens when you lift your pelvis and your back off the floor? Flowing and supple, or stiff and sore? What if your vertebrae could move freely up and down? This was the first lesson I ever taught over 25 years ago, and still one of my all time favorites.

Long Legged Side Bend

Talk to the Hand
$3.99 View DetailsSore hand or wrist? Shoulder bothering you? Too much mousing? This amazing, subtle lesson works wonders. Although it was taught lying down, (and is amazingly relaxing in the horizontal), you can also do most of this lesson at your desk, leaning your elbow on the desk instead of the floor. Truly a zen experience for hand and fingers.

Bending and Twisting on a Chair
$3.99 View DetailsWhen you spend a lot of time sitting, your spine gets compressed, everything gets stiff and even your internal organs are affected. This powerful lesson will wake up your ribs, and enliven your entire spine. I find just doing portions of this lesson while trapped at a desk is a great rejuvenator.

Jes’ Rollin’ Around
$3.99 View DetailsMake sure you have enough room from side to side for this lesson. And take your time! Feel free to only do some of the movement the first time. While we all love to roll around, this has some adventurous moments at the end. Remember to always stay with what's comfortable and easy. Once you own the lesson, you have all the time in the world to get to the end!

The Pelvis and Balance
$3.99 View DetailsAfter teaching this lesson one day, a student told me, "This lesson should be titled, 'Pelvis, Pelvis, Pelvis.'". It's all about how your center affects everything else - your balance, your comfort, your stance. It also happens to be one of my all time favorite lessons.
-
Resting Your Eyes
$3.99 View DetailsYou can improve your eyesight while relaxing the rest of yourself. Eye strain and habitual ways of using the eyes are two ways that we limit vision AND affect our carriage. This lesson is all about finding new options for your eyes.

Big X
$3.99 View DetailsOne day, a student called to ask if there were lessons for migraines. Then someone else walked in complaining of back pain. Someone else said, "Ugh, you have anything for my right hip?" At a loss, I decided to stick with my lesson plan and teach this amazing lesson that looks at EVERYTHING including our self-image. To my amazement, each of these people thanked me for choosing a lesson "just for me." While this lesson begins in sitting, it is mostly on the back. Enjoy!
-
How Do You Arch?

Lighten the Legs with your Pelvis
$3.99 View DetailsThey say you can't lose weight doing Feldenkrais :-). But Feldenkrais once said that when the system is properly organized, the impression is one of weightlessness. Paradox indeed.

-
Improving Diagonals
$3.99 View DetailsWhenever I teach my "top ten" series, this lesson is a must. Not only does it re-balance the two sides of the self, it harmonizes top and bottom. Oh, and let's not forget the diagonal relationship between opposite shoulders and hips. As with so many lessons, this one leads to a surprising, functional finale.
-
Improved Sitting and Reaching
$3.99 View DetailsYou reach with your whole self. At least that's the potential. This mostly seated lesson reminds us that reaching for our object of desire comes from, you guess it, the pelvis. And of course, that means the spine has to get involved.

Heels in Circles
$3.99 View DetailsWe really don't pay enough attention to our feet. Yet how your feet and ankles work affects how you stand and walk, impacting on the organization of your hips and back. This lesson looks at how a small movement of the foot can change everything.

Freeing the Ribs Via Shoulders and Hips

This side lying lesson looks at the possibilities of side bending and how that can improve flexibility and create a new appreciation for your ribs.

A Side and Mind Bending Adventure
