Cat, Cow, Fish and More
$3.99 View DetailsA colleague named Stephen Rosenholtz once created an entire program for children called Move Like the Animals based on Feldenkrais lessons. While you won't necessarily become an animal after this, you will experience new possibilities for mobility and your spine. This lesson is really great for helping you reconnect with a relaxed and functional lower back. You will be in many different positions and will feel terrific afterwards! And if you love yoga, this will definitely enhance your practice.

Spinal Chain

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!

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. This lesson explores how the pelvis can lift your legs, and the second half will take you into surprising new directions. (No spoilers here!)

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.
