SPOTLIGHT | Discover the Feldenkrais Method – Awareness Through Movement Guided Practice with Nick Strauss-Klein

Experience the Feldenkrais Method directly in this Spotlight episode, and learn how this somatics practice can help you move through life with greater efficiency, enhance your thinking and problem solving abilities and support emotional regulation. Teacher Nick Strauss-Klein is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner and founder of The Feldenkrais Project, a crowd-funded labor of love offering Feldenkrais study at no charge to thousands of monthly listeners all around the world.

This short Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® lesson is intended to leave you experiencing the differences you’ll create between the two sides of your body, which is a curious and powerful learning state that can improve both sides as your brain processes the changes. You can repeat the recording for the other side later if you wish, but it’s not necessary!

Practice Guidelines: You’ll need a carpeted floor or mat to lie on. The lesson begins and ends in supine, but most of it is explored in side-lying. You can pause the recording and roll to your back to rest any time. If necessary for comfort the lesson can be done in bed, but a firmer surface is better for being able to feel your body move in great detail. Once you’re lying on your chosen side you’re invited to rest your head on your arm or on a folded towel. A small firm pillow works too. It’s great to change your head support if you feel you need to as the lesson progresses.

Before you begin, please read these guidelines for other practical tips, and your responsibilities as a Feldenkrais student.
