Brief Introduction
Deepen your Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement practiceDescription
Movement is a fundamental part of all human behavior and endeavor. When you improve the way that you move and you learn to move with greater awareness and skill, you also improve the way that you feel, sense and think.
This second collection of lessons is for people who have done my first introductory course: “Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons: Introduction”. It is also for people who already have some experience with the Fedenkrais Method or another somatic based movement practice.
Feldenkrais is an extremely gentle movement based training that teaches you how to heighten your ability to sense and feel yourself while you are moving while improving your freedom and range of movement in all planes of action.
The Feldenkrais Method is more like a movement based guided meditation rather than an exercise class.
As with any pattern of action, thinking or feeling, when you start to recognize the habitual and learn something new, you create the opportunity for growth, awareness and new possibility in all aspects of your life.
Practicing the Feldenkrais Method can have many therapeutic benefits, hone specialised physical skills and support creative expression.
These lessons have been adapted from a series that was originally designed for and taught to people training to be professional dancers, The lessons are recorded live in the dance studio. You do not have to have the physical skill of a trained dancer to benefit and learn from these lessons.
Please note that only the first full lesson is demonstrated. As per normal practice, the following lessons are just audio files. This gives participants the opportunity to find their own "solutions" to the movement "problems" to optimize learning potential.
Lecture 1: How to do Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons

Recorded live in the dance studio, this lesson is suitable for any level of movement expertise.

Usually Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons are not demonstrated, but rather the class is lead verbally by the teacher. In this first lesson I will demonstrate the movements as a reference, however the lesson should be undertaken as described by the audio, rather than be watched and copied. This encourages the student to take responsibility for their own learning, problem solve for themselves, and as such, achieve greater learning outcomes.
Subsequent lessons will be provided as an audio lesson without any visual demonstration.
