Feldenkrais is more than movement....its a life philosophy 😊 Thank you, I enjoyed the playful exploration of the ways to lift my head. My brain/mind now feels totally alive and connected with my body. And I am standing up now, typing this comment on my phone and noticing I am bringing the phone up to eye level and keeping my posture, rather than usual habit of stooping and lowering head/upper back. Feels very different yet more aligned. Great class. Thank you.❤

Alfons, love the tender approach on becoming aware of the senses and therefore, self-care! Awesome guidance as always🌟

Though I’ve been following and following watching since late 2015, it wasn’t till this April 2024 that I made it all the way through the original Getting Better Day by Day series. And today I’m starting this one. There are deeper meanings to these lessons than meets the eye. Thank you as always

Great to hear! How did you like the new version?

Feldenkrais. Is. Magic. I’m recovering from an ankle injury and most of my movement and exercise sessions these days focus on my ankle recovery, but today I just wanted to have nice movement experience focusing on something else. This seemed like the perfect lesson for today. All my conscious thought was on my upper body - exploring different ways to use my hands to help lift my head, different ways to place my arms when lifting one shoulder toward the opposite knee to change how it felt to roll across my shoulder blade and upper back. As my torso became more and more pliable, I felt more and more relaxed and balanced as the lesson progressed. But when we stood up?! Wait…what?! My weight was beautifully distributed between both feet. I don’t need to tell you after a long injury that my body has learned to compensate and I always find myself standing on my “good” leg. But there I was, standing evenly on both feet, feeling light and lifted, *with effortlessly perfect shin and ankle alignment*. Thank you so much Alfons, for reminding me to trust my brain to place me in good alignment - I just need to get out of the way and allow that to happen. What a beautiful experience.

That nice long comment disserves a response.

Hello, Alfons! Several years ago I tried one of your video lessons and I fell in love of how you teach, explain ,feel and show this kind of working with the body and mind. It greatly changed my mind and affect my own kind of teaching and feeling. I was and I am happy to practice with you❤
