If you can soften your rib cage, engage your torso muscles in a well-organized, easy manner---all the things you need to do this movement-- then a lot of other actions get easier. that's why it's useful.

This alone would put me in the hospital!

This inspires me in ways that move me to the heavens. Gentle, balanced movements that are like those of a five month baby... this is where our connection to our form begins. Thank you for posting this. I shall use this in my classes.

@cuijin But I bet that would be a very possible side result, just as happens with practicing pilates.

I understand what you mean. When I first read about it, it seemed so vague. So I tried it with a Practioner. In 2 or 3 sessions a hip injury resolved. You have to DO it to understand it. It's totally gentle. This person is VERY advanced. You can get there through Feldenkrais. A relaxed body, like a baby.

The point is to try this and see what happens, it's not about getting it right. Feldenkrais is all about experimenting, not goals. This vid might give slightly the wrong impression of what Felden is .... but it's fun to play with.

@JammyBadger please do more research other than youtube, ... peole are losing inner human nature!! we do movements like this as infants ( not as controlled of course ) but grow up and get so distracted by technology ( iphones and game console ) that these movements seem foreign to us..

I tried it (with no books). A wonderful exercise. Uses every muscle (and joint, tendon, ligament) in the body. And gives a wonderful stretch to the spine while you're not even thinking of the spine.

feldenkrais is the best method for dancers!!!
its awsome i have to confess that it took me like 4 months to finally understand it and to feel it. but ONCE you really feel it the changes in your life are awsome.
I combine feldenkrais with pilates and the changes in my body and my spine are incredible i get 3 cm taller.
its awsome !!! and my teacher is the best she is maru fuentes and i take the clases in Monterrey mexico.

I prefer read books!

@JammyBadger Check out the book Awareness Through Movement. That will explain what the Feldenkrais Method is more thoroughly and includes the exercises that make it up.
Looks splendid but will it help me to lose weight?

Absolutely not. Feldenkrais has nothing to do with losing weight.

Why do the books stick to the feet at such a severe angle?
lazur1 5 years ago
it's a natural thing. Try it and you'll see: the skin and the surface of the books create a particular friction that allows them to stick to the foot even in severe angles.
