Open Rounded Shoulders - Feldenkrais Butterfly Lesson

A fun way to open rounded shoulders with Feldenkrais and Nature Lesson based on the movements of caterpillar and butterfly with Annie Thoe, Feldenkrais Teacher and Nature Awareness Teacher. Great lesson to loosen shoulders, neck, back, arms and improve flexibility of shoulders for all kinds of activities, dance, swimming, tennis, sports as well as heal from injury. Great game for kids for flexibility and improving attention practice, too!
This short lesson is inspired from Annie Thoe's Feldenkrais Butterfly Lesson series of on Sensing Vitality™ Patreon which works with opening the shoulders and learning from butterflies as well as learning more about butterflies in the process. Helpful exercises for those recovering from back, shoulder or neck injury, whiplash as well as improving posture and ease in movement. Also helpful for CP and stroke recovery.

PS - Want to help butterflies? Stop using pesticides (especially Roundup), plant more native plants and go organic with your shopping. Slow down in your car, too and enjoy looking at the beauty in the world around you. The butterflies will appreciate that!
