"It is fabulous"...... and your teaching too !!!!!! Thanks a lot from a FK practitioner in Paris

[@SensingVitality]

You are welcome! I love Paris... thanks for writing

[@helenlambert7248]

Thanks Annie. That is so helpful.

[@vOnYuRi7]

Annie, that's amazing !!!

[@mekingn]

My sitting definitely felt very different after the first move, rolling the sit bones on the tip of the fingers. So cool!

[@SensingVitality]

Awesome to hear...

[@TaroIwamoto]

Thanks for the great video! A great use of a blanket to clarify the skeletal connection!

[@SensingVitality]

Thanks Taro-- yes, I discovered this blanket roll almost 20 years ago to relieve some serious leg spasming while hiking down a mountain. I've been exploring this type of roll ever since.

Hi Anne I don't. Get the coonection, i hurt my back, I was doing the back sacrum separation slowly moving leg, but, for some reason my back injury ( maybe trying to heal,?) anyway my hip is sore too. any thoughts ?

[@biye9984]

Thank you, I feel so good

[@howardnoh2542]

Excellent!ImmediateReliefForMyKnees!

[@SensingVitality]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dolphinm3639]

Excellent. Not easy. Takes practice. ThNk you

[@SensingVitality]

Take your time. Sometimes it takes repetition or slowing down more to sense the bones.

[@darlenecarman7644]

Thank you Annie! this was wonderful and will share for sure . I am loving the bone focus. I often think brain moves muscles (if able to sense) Muscle moves bones. However It seems so much easier to find bones and the muscles are more relaxed instantly! Although I teach and practice allot of Somatics and functional movement , this is a wonderful add on! Your teaching is spot on and I LOVE learning from you! Thank you for all the work that goes into this! Dar

[@SensingVitality]

Thanks Dar-- I appreciate your comments and glad this lesson resonated with you. I have a lot more lessons for knees. Glad you can use and share this work with your people.

[@SensingVitality]

you are welcome Pippa

[@biye9984]

I really thank you ❤

[@SensingVitality]

you are welcome

[@sheridacarrick8013]

Thank you, Annie. I can really feel my sit bones after doing this. I have RA and knees very swollen; left hip has bursitis and tendonitis as well as fairly severe degeneration of hip bone. This has caused ankle pain. So ... I am trying this and other of your lessons. So grateful that you make these available to the global community.

[@SensingVitality]

Glad you are finding results with these lessons-- keep trying more, and repeat the lesson a few times to go deeper with the neurological connections they make. Keep me posted...

[@luyzqint3760]

Thank you ✌️

[@SensingVitality]

Welcome!

[@francescaspeciani1881]

I found the practice very useful. My sitting bones feel like they have softened a lot.

[@SensingVitality]

nice! good to hear

[@waynewood4691]

Thanks Annie, your channel is really helping me a lot. How far forward are you sitting on the bench or chair? Do you feel your hamstrings/bottom of thighs when you do these movements?

[@SensingVitality]

Great... Yes, sit toward the edge so you have the primary support of your weight on your sitting bones. Best to not have much contact with your hamstrings/thighs-- I don't have much contact with my hamstrings/thighs-- I might feel just a little bit of my hamstrings but the weight should be mostly on the sitting bones. The sitting bones are a little like a rocking chair bottom. One of my videos shows that-- maybe you'll find that video. :)
