Episode 109: This is a re-release of one of my most popular classes. I originally taught this lesson as a part of the Soften the System Feldenkrais® Course.  Today we take another Feldenkrais® approach to practicing the ability to settle the body. This class again utilizes the powerful effect that calming the hands can have on our whole system, including our eyes.  If you resonate with TODAY’s approach, you may be interested in these self-paced Feldenkrais courses: Coming to Your Senses Feldenkrais® Series Soften the System Feldenkrais® Series Sensing Subtlety and Satisfaction Feldenkrais® Series Unraveling Body Anxiety Feldenkrais® Series Sarah Baumert has been teaching movement since 2006.

Episode 108: Today’s class is a short Feldenkrais lesson that will be done lying on the back. This simple, but effective lesson, creates a sense of wholeness and connection from your feet to your head.  This lesson is from the Feldenkrais Mini Lessons course that can be purchased. This self paced course has 16 mini lessons ranging from 15- 30 minutes. The lessons in this course are there for you when you need a shift or interruption of your current state, but don’t have an hour to spare. I like to think of them as more than a 5 minute movement snack, but also not the whole buffet. Just the right nourishment.  Sarah Baumert has been teaching movement since 2006.

Episode 107: Today I am going to share a lesson that introduces us to how the hip and shoulder joints relate to our spine, and how they coordinate for walking.  This is an intro class for the Feldenkrais Walking Series: Walking From Your Spine.  The context for this series is to learn about how our limbs and our spine move in relation to each other. In today’s podcast you will first hear me introduce the class and how we will approach the subject of walking from a Feldenkrais perspective in this course.  Next will be the 60 minute Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson.  Sarah Baumert has been teaching movement since 2006.

Episode 106: Today’s class is a short meditation that can be done lying down in savasana or sitting upright.  Our inquiry of study during this meditation was inspired by two of my most influential teachers, Insight Meditation teacher Mark Nunberg and Feldenkrais trainer Jeff Haller.  You won’t need anything for this class, except a cushion or blanket to sit on, or if you choose to lie down, please have any props you will need if you choose to do the meditation lying down.

Episode 105: In this 35 minute practice we will be utilizing a thin blanket roll to wake up spinal flexion, extension and rotation all along the spine.  This is a warm up that I have been teaching variations of in many of my yoga classes lately. I hope you learn something about your spine! You can also find Level 1 and 2 yoga classes that start with this practice in the Body Matter Library. Just search for "Getting to Know Your Spine".
