Feldenkrais Panther Tread
This Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson is designed to assist with mobilizing your feet and developing more sensitivity with footwork and movement. Remember, Moshe Feldenkrais was one of the first Judo exponents in the West. This is one of the Feldenkrais exercises that would be very good for anyone who relies on fast moving and agility - dancers, sports people, martial artists etc. It is a Feldenkrais lesson that is also of value to everyone else as a lot of the physical tensions that people experience begin with the way they walk and stand. It all starts with the contact of the feet with the ground.
I have found, since I become a Feldenkrais Practitioner, that most people are totally unaware of how they make contact with the ground - none more so than me before I began the Feldenkrais Training. In our trainings I can usually identify people by how heavy they are making contact with the floor. Everything from thumping to the floor actually shaking - no matter the size of the person. It is like your own personal signature. Interestingly, a heavier tread is often a sign the person is under stress. This is why the Feldenkrais Method can so often be of value to a person under physical and emotional stress.
For your information, another function that can reveal how well organised and aware a person is, from a Feldenkrais perspective, is how they sit in a chair. You are more likely to see the Kamikaze crash landing method than the 'arrive as light as a feather version'. In Feldenkrais we often talk about the concept of 'reversible movement'. Can you stop at any point and easily and effortlessly return or reverse the movement. This should be so with both walking and sitting (again from a Feldenkrais perspective).
It is quite striking when you come across someone who literally 'treads lightly on the earth'. More often than not this is also a metaphor for how they live life. You can't have that level of awareness and not have it be of benefit to you elsewhere in life - in my humble opinion. This Feldenkrais lesson can help you develop this awareness.

Each of these exercises can be done time and time again and you will still gain great benefit from them. There is no 'use by date' with any Feldenkrais exercise.Feldenkrais is perhaps best known as a form of movement education. It is especially effective in establishing intelligent movement patterns for people depending on what their circumstances require. The method is suitable for all ages and fitness levels.Feldenkrais, as a modality, could be used for helping someone overcome the debilitating effects of a neuro-muscular disorder or an elite Olympic class athlete refining their skills just that bit more. I have worked at both these extremes and the Feldenkrais principles involved remain the same.

2. Feldenkrais Connected Hamstrings

| Feldenkrais Connected HamstringsThis Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson is designed to free up your hamstrings. The Feldenkrais approach to something like the hamstrings is different to most. We aren't so much interested in you being able to stretch further, rather we are endeavoring to have you be able to engage the use of your hamstrings in a more integrated and useful manner. This is a typical way of using Feldenkrais Exercises to enable you to be able to reach further as a consequence.With Feldenkrais Connected Hamstrings we look to connect the use of your hamstrings with your lower back and the spiralling nature of the torso. This Feldenkrais lesson engages the torso which really contributes to smooth transitions of power. With the Feldenkrais Method it is important to focus directly on the lower back and the hip joints when loosening up the hamstrings - the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. You will notice your head coming closer to your kness as you easily fold toward them. The flowing movements of the torso along with precision movements through the pelvis, both typical qualities of Feldenkrais, are direct contributors to enhanced balance and coordination. You will enjoy this Feldenkrais Connected Hamstrings lesson as you develop a greater sense of fluid movement with better flexibility.

Very gentle reaching motions with the hands as your legs are put in slightly different holding positions.We offer this Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson along with the other Feldenkrais Exercises for the hamstrings.

5. Feldenkrais Integrated Head
25/Apr/2007 |

| Feldenkrais Integrated HeadThis is an interesting Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson exploring and connecting the various components within your head. It is amazing how much we can use Feldenkrais exercises to free up this area. If you have every ground your teeth or tightened your jaw too much under stress than this is the one for you. Actually around the head / neck / jaw area is where many people physically manifest and maintain stress. The Feldenkrais approach makes it much easier to keep these physical symptoms at bay. Then it becomes much easier to control the emotional and psychological components as well.As an aside, you may begin to notice that the best sports people tend to be loose and free here. As they tire and lose capacity this part of their anatomy tightens up considerably. A useful question is what happens first. In my Feldenkrais Practice as I work with these people this is one of the first things I teach them to control. It is essential.
