Awareness Through Movement #101

On side; lifting the leg and straightening it - Vita/Asanga give it a go

It’s quite ingenious how Moshe thought these lessons through so that people can experience an improvement in movements so basic within a short amount of time.

He proves that bigger better faster is merely more of the same insanity.

By unravelling HOW a movement is done, and enhancing small elements one increment at a time… on a different trajectory… these subtle changes make a huge improvement on the whole with a lot more enjoyment - even though it may not seem like it at the time.

Feldenkrais lesson, sideways - NOTE: image above has nothing to do with this lesson

Constraints is another ‘secret’ of Feldenkrais, to move only within a certain parameter to know what is possible within that tiny area… and THEN expand the movement to enlarge that same trajectory. I personally don’t know of any other method that works this way… tai chi and gigong do something similar, yet different.
