About Feldenkrais at Home

We have a series of compact discs that teach you how to perform Feldenkrais movements. The movement sequences on these CDs are non-aerobic and may be done by athletes and performing artists to fine-tune their movements, as well as anyone recovering from illness or injury. Easy does it in this approach. If anything hurts, DON'T MOVE!

During each 30 minute sequence you have the opportunity to learn how every part of you works in connection to every other part. The entire program should be used sequentially the first few times for optimum benefits and alignment. After that you can mix and match.

Doing less than your maximum, while doing Feldenkrais movements, allows for profound
improvements and reduces habitual tensions that may cause you stiffness or pain. The movements
are deeply relaxing as well. You will become more self-aware.

You may order 1.) by credit card using our online shopping cart or 2.) Print out the order form and pay by check or money order.

Aligning Your Body II.
Your Lower Body

Continue to improve your alignment and movement abilities by improving your base: (movements for legs, feet, ankles, spine and hip-joints).To stand, walk, run, or ski effectively, your pelvis must move freely and your posture must be excellent. Your ankles need to be able to flex and bend, your hip and knee joints used with a minimum of effort. Stiffness in any part of your body slows you down, causing pain, discomfort, and fatigue. This series of movements promotes flexibility and comfort of your lower limbs and back, and help integrate them to your back and upper body.

Aligning Your Body III
Your Upper Body
Continue your alignment by rediscovering the flexibility of your rib-cage and by integrating the chest shoulders and arms with your back and pelvis. These movement sequences help to lift and open the chest, improving your upper spine, ribs and shoulders. Everyone needs to be able to sit or stand with ease, using the pelvis to support the spine and free the shoulders and neck. Musicians, secretaries, manual workers for instance, who sit or stand for long periods of time and often develop painful shoulders and stiff hands and arms. By following these simple movements, you will learn to reduce and eliminate stiffness in the shoulders, arms and upper back. The use of your hands thus becomes freer and easier. All the movement sequences in this program serve to calm and focus the mind, increasing your ability to concentrate.

Instructions for using CDs:

1.Do these movements lying down on a firm bed or carpeted floor.

2. Do small movements and observe, feel, sense and notice how you are moving.

3. NEVER STRAIN! Move in a way that brings you ease, comfort and pleasure.

4. If for any reason a movement is the slightest bit painful or fatiguing, STOP.

5. Instead, while listening, imagine the sequence. You are taking advantage of your brain’s
capacity to learn while your rehearse error-free movement sequences. It works!

6. Repeat your program several times over for best results. If in pain, use your CDs daily, and even twice a day. Eventually twice a week will be ideal. Don’t stay with one CD until you have “perfected it”.

If a tape is difficult for you, do it in your mind and then continue with the next CD. In time you will discover that what was difficult or impossible at first becomes possible and easy, as long as you
don’t force or push for a result.

This process allows you to allows you to permanently substitute inefficient movement habits that lead to the deterioration of the human body, with optimal movement habits that rejuvenate, recover and maintain a comfortable, strong, efficient, and flexible body.
