1 |
CleanCrossed legs, tilting knees to the side | Kicking off a new series aimed at twisting things around, growing taller, and getting that spine of yours more supple. With a special shout-out to cousins who find it interesting to grow taller. This is a variation on a familiar kind of lesson, but it is a new variation, I promise. | 5/17/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanElbows in crooks | This fascinating lesson (but which lesson isn't fascinating?) is (literally?) an eye-opener. Picking up some ideas from Violin arms but moving closer in to the core, it will show you some connections and some distinctions you probably have never felt before in your shoulders. | 4/29/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
3 |
CleanCrawling to sitting addendum | Do the last lesson From crawling to sitting first! This is just an experimental add-on, a little trial of some ideas, an exploration to see what happens, tacked on at the end of the lesson for those who would stay. | 4/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanFrom crawling to sitting | A little bit of this with the hands, a little bit of that with the feet... yes, shoulders and hips. But can we put it all together into something functional? For a baby at least? Find spiral transitions and stealth twistings of the long axes of the arms and legs? | 4/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanViolin Arms | By the end of this one, you won't know left from right or up from down. But your shoulders and neck will feel different. Maybe your hips and self too. | 4/11/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanInterlacing toes | You have habits of how you interlace your hands....but your toes? How can you have a habit of how you interlace your toes? Have you ever done this before? Since you were 2 years old? | 4/5/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanHands interlaced | Explore some of the remarkable agility you have in your hands and wrists. And while you're at it--who knows?--your neck may lengthen and shoulders re-organize. I tried a slightly different recording arrangement to get rid of the annoying scratchy noises--it made them worse. Will try to fix before the next class! | 3/30/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanWorking with the dominant hand | We typically make too much effort with the dominant hand, and hold too much strain in it in resting. This lesson gently differentiates the hand and forearm, explores the subtle movement of the humerus resting in the shoulder blade, and transforms the whole dominant side of the body. Want to know more about handedness? Check out the book Right Hand Left Hand (http://www.righthandlefthand.com) by Chris McManus, and my blog post including comments at Which Side?. | 3/22/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanSliding along the length of the leg | You'd think this is about the legs and the hips. But we're focusing on the hips and shoulders in the context of the whole. Your shoulders are certainly finding all sorts of new connections for supporting and enabling action in this one. Maybe it's really about the ways that both your hip joints and your shoulder joints really start somewhere around T8... Local class participants note the whitewashing! I edited out all evidence of my arriving late for class. | 2/25/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanClassical twist on the side with an advanced opening | The kayak image isn't Moshe's; it's local colour. We specialize in local colour in Nova Scotia. Meanwhile, I doubt there's a better lesson for lengthening your neck, greasing your hips (how did that happen?), changing your walk, and reorganizing the use of your arms. Check it out. | 2/16/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Don't pass this up!
Unlike most free podcasts that offer only teasers to buy a product, these are all real, full-length lessons!
thank you!
I have been practicing Feldenkrais for a while now and I LOVE this work! However, I've found it difficult to find a teacher who records his or her lessons, makes them this available, and speaks simply and clearly. Often, they sound like they are so in love with the sound of their own voices and/or so entertained by their own jokes or profound statements that there is some kind of disconnect. Like a feigned profundity. Not with Lynette Reid! She is down-to-earth and knowledgeable. Also, I so appreciate her making these lessons available for free. Instead of spending money on ATM classes, I am able to see my practitioner for private lessons now, which adds a whole new dimension to the work. I highly recommend these lessons!
