This lesson is done mostly in side-lying (you can support yourself with a thin cushion under the head), and we explore the opening of the shoulders and hip joints in order to reach forward with the arms with more ease. You will get a clearer awareness of your shoulder girdle, particularly how your shoulderblades move.
This 50-min recording consists of slow, mindful movements to achieve powerful effects in terms of strength, flexibility, and holistic integration of body and mind. Stemming from the Feldenkrais Method, these lessons tie directly into functional movements of daily life, such as walking efficiently, safely lifting objects, and improving one’s posture in sitting or standing.
In the recordings, I guide you through a sequence of movements, encouraging you to move with gentle attention within a comfortable range. You may become aware of unexpected and interesting connections within and between the movements.
As you attend to the improving quality of movement, unnecessary muscular tensions throughout the body can reorganise and release. Perfect for gaining a clearer self-image and relaxing before sleep.
