A thick textbook could work well. If you are using a book, then you will also want to have a blanket or a towel that you can place underneath the book, so that the weight is not hard o...
Covering the Eyes - Feldenkrais
November 10, 2023 06:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MBEpisode 103: Today’s class is focused on calming the eyes.

If at any moment you feel the way you are breathing creates tension or shortness of breath, please do the breathing proposal with much less intensity or even imagine the movement. If you enjoy this lesson, you m...

January 13, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 52.4 MBEpisode 94: A 60 minute live class blending Feldenkrais and gentle yoga poses. In this class we explore creating a sense of width in the body.
