Feldenkrais Explained - Episode 1: The Power of Habit (Extended)

This is a wonderful, short, sensory excursion into self-awareness brought to you by my friend and Feldenkrais colleague Erifily Nikola, in Athens, Greece. She created this lesson herself, having great depth of understanding of somatic movement relationships. It is a great lesson and I hope you enjoy it. I am excited to continue the series with her.

Try Using Your Non-dominant Hand to Stimulate Change ...

Here is a simple exercise with that can give big somatic and cognitive payoffs. 



Today, try using your non-dominant hand more often is everything you do. Every time you do this, you bring your entire body into a non-habitual posture. Just this small act has enormous consequences — being in a new posture relieves pain, changes your balance orientation, creates new skeletal connections, reorganizes the experience of your nervous system and jolts your brain a bit in the direction of self awareness and being more awake. This is the essence of Feldenkrais.


I teach Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement classes in Reno, NV every Tues. at 12:30 pm at the Gerber Medical Clinic, 1225 Westfield Ave., Thurs. at 5 pm at the Reno Buddhist Center at 820 Plumas, and Saturday at 10 am at Gerber Medical.
