Awareness Through Movement #88

Circling the hands in standing - we will be VERTICAL - with recording

“… to which parts of the back would it be preferable to have life rather than ossification?”

no ide what this has to do with anything… I asked for skeletal system, spine, vertebrae, feldenkrais lesson

You may have noticed that the majority of these lessons begin with “please lie on…” your back, your side, your stomach… with this one you won’t hear that. It’s a standing lesson and I invite you to listen to the internal dialogue when you hear those words.

Mine used to go something like “oh no, it’s not a real Feldy lesson”, “I hate these ones”, “I don’t get the same results”, “WHY standing?”… which all boiled down to “it’s not fair that I have to stand in a lesson”.

Once I got over that… many years later… I now LOVE standing lessons. Given that I am the majority of my time in the vertical position, these lessons give me access to move my body in a way that is like a dance. I often think of myself AS a living skeleton, which for some is contradictory, these bones are usually associated with death.
