It’s been interesting recording and sharing these lessons while on lockdown, but I think 25 days in a row is a good place to pause for the time being.
I thought I’d finish the series of lessons with the most famous awareness through movement lesson of all: The Pelvic Clock. This is a lesson that I’m sure many of you have done before, but I hope there’s something new to find for everyone.

This is a short version of a lesson first taught to me one of my most inspirational Feldenkrais teachers, the late, great Myriam Pfeffer. Free your jaw and take care of yourself.

A lesson focused on interception. This lesson invites you to become aware of your tidal volume (the volume of air you breathe in and out during a normal breath). A lesson for connecting with yourself on a deep level. Good for decreasing anxiety and stress.

A nice simple lesson for Day 22. An exploration of the first movements we practised as infants. Pressing ourselves against the floor as we lay on our backs. A good one for balancing the tonus of the muscles. And a nice lesson to do before bed.

Once you get over the weirdness/comedy of squeezing your buttocks for 20 minutes, I guarantee you will love this lesson. Get yourself a powerful pelvis!

20 days, 20 Awareness Through Movement lessons. I hope you are enjoying them. This lesson explores and develops the stability of the shoulder joints. It’s pretty dynamic. It should be a good one for anyone working on their handstands while on lockdown.

A follow up to yesterday’s lesson, exploring lying on your side comfortably. This one looks at rolling from the side to the back. It’s a good one for softening the chest and ribcage, and increasing the mobility of the hips and shoulders. (All the good stuff.)

The first in a two part lesson lying on the side. This lesson explores the relationship between the hips, shoulder and ribs when lying on your side. Hope you enjoy it. Tune in tomorrow to see how it all ends.

Lesson number 16 is based on Feldenkrais’ Morning Prayer (one of my favourites). It looks at the relationship between the head, spine and pelvis in sitting; so I’ve called it ‘Praying for Good Posture’. 😉

A classic Awareness Through Movement lesson that starts in standing and brings you to sitting cross-legged. I hope my instructions are clear enough, it’s one of those lessons that’s a bit of a puzzle that makes perfect sense when you’ve done it once. Have fun!
