Pelvic Clock - Feldenkrais Lesson

[@monamrith]

How can I thank you enough? I have been dealing with strange symptoms that come and go, most likely a kinked nerve, maybe exiting somewhere from the L3, L4 or L5, that has been bothering me so much for the past 2 or 3 years. I've been to see doctors, several physiotherapists, chiropractors, and done pilates classes. I am beginning to realize that this is what I've been needing the most to begin with. On top of the movement awareness, your voice is so soothing that after a stressful day at work, I so much look forward to doing your exercises. I consider myself a independent and strong woman, and never thought that someone's voice, and gentle movement awareness could bring me calm, physically and emotionally. Thank you so much! Bless you!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience Moncan, this is so heart warming. Should the Feldenkrais training, which I completed in 1999 was such a gift and I am so happy to be able to pass on to others what I've learned. All the best for your recovery. More videos coming soon!

[@LR-je7nn]

Well I was hoping to see you do the clock stretch by Loonette on The Big Comfy Couch. But this is more like I need. The granddaughter use to do the clock stretch when it would come on. It brought back some good memories.

This is really lovely and helpful! Thank you! I would love another pelvic awareness lesson if you have any more :) I love and appreciate your teaching style!

[@JodieKrantz]

Thanks so much Karly, I will be doing another pelvic awareness video soon!

Beautiful to watch thanks for the reminder about finding my pelvis and coming back to reconnect.

Thanks so much for your kind comments Alexandre Jean

Thank you ! The notification caught my attention as I'm having lower back pain associated to my menses. I just did it. I feel a relief. Thank you !

[@JodieKrantz]

Great to hear, thanks so much for letting me know Steffy 😃

[@lynwatson9222]

Wonderful lessons, thanks so much Jodie. Clear and calm, I love your style! I use a little Feldy in my slow mindful Yoga classes - such a wonderful addition. Keep up the marvelous work lovely😃

I have been doing Somatics , but, I will try this, again. I did your breathing and see saw breathing, but, standing up , fustrated me again.

[@JodieKrantz]

Hi Cindy, why did standing up frustrate you? Would you like to describe your experience a bit mow?

[@cinmac3]

@@JodieKrantz sorry I just found this ? i can breath and relax my belly when i lie down ,but, when gravity controls me i loose it,my stomach tences and from then on the hours go by i have exhausted my being.

[@JodieKrantz]

@@cinmac3 have you tried doing the seesaw breathing in sitting? Moshe taught these movements in a wide variety of positions. If it's too hard try side lying, on the front, cat position. You need to learn to adapt it. You also might need to do some paced postural endurance exercises but it's hard to say without knowing all your personal circumstances. It's their a practitioner in your area who could guide you?

So lovely. Thank you

[@JodieKrantz]

😊 thank you Andrea

[@cinmac3]

Hi Jodie , Did you notice your page, the videos under pelvic clock , hip flexors..... has many repeats. do you have any understandings of the Arch & Curls.....a fundamental movement in Somatics.

[@JodieKrantz]

Hi Cindy, I'll look into what you are saying about the repeat videos, that's strange. I haven't studied Somatics

[@hansmenduapessy2975]

Thanks! Is this also good for a thigt psoas left and right?

[@JodieKrantz]

@@hansmenduapessy2975 Yes!

[@JodieKrantz]

@@hansmenduapessy2975 Try this video for your tight psoas. It's a bit old so the sound is not great but I think you will find it helpful. Make sure to bend the knees a bit and lengthen the lower back to reduce the arch. All the best, Jodie kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXqUcnyjoNGNd7ssi=t-MTtNiuRvDGR1Qx

This is is exactly what I was looking for but there's a high frequency ring in the audio and I can't focus because of it 😢 a bit of EQ would fix it....

[@JodieKrantz]

Thanks for your feedback, I will get some advice and try to fix this

[@karenfielding7271]

How often do you recommend I do the exercise?

[@JodieKrantz]

Hi Karen, thanks a lot for your question. That would depend partly on your reasons for doing these Feldenkrais exercises. Would you like to say a little bit about that then I can make some suggestions. Kindly Jodie

[@karenfielding7271]

Hi, thank you for getting back to me. I was recommended by my cranial osteopath. She says I have a twisted sacrum and occipital bone. @@JodieKrantz

[@JodieKrantz]

@@karenfielding7271 The Feldenkrais method helps you to become more symmetrical and balanced. Sometimes this happens quickly and sometimes it's gradual. It depends on many factors including your age, your ability to let go and relax and how long you've had the issue. Moshe Feldenkrais didn't give people prescriptions for how often or how long to do the exercises. Rather he recommended they went by what they felt in their bodies. To get the most out of Feldenkrais try doing the lesson two to three times within a period of a week. In between try to remember the movements that you've done, rehearse them in your mind. Then move on to another lesson. Doing a wide variety of different lessons is what helps most to improve your body awareness as well as the balance and coordination of the whole body. I hope that helps! 🌷

Thanks a lot for your very considered reply Jodie really helpful@@JodieKrantz

[@JodieKrantz]

@@karenfielding7271 you're welcome. I just corrected the typo, *Feldenkrais, not 'Fell in Christ ' 😂

[@stephanieparker420]

Thank you I enjoyed that a lot

[@JodieKrantz]

Thanks so much Stephanie 😊

[@klyrebird]

Many thanks

[@cinmac3]

Thanks helped my pelvis and breathing,. While l did the movement.. Back a bit, but, soreness is still there, so I don't know if I need a different movement or do this more, what do you think?not madical advise, just your experience?!

[@JodieKrantz]

Cindy, maybe you need a bit of hands on treatment and some individual advice. It could be that the parts of your spine that are most flexible are getting free with the movements, but maybe there's a stiff section that you haven't yet been able to access. Working with a practitioner can help you access these ' blind spots' . Is there anyone you could see in your local area?

[@LR-je7nn]

Hi Cindy, I highly recommend you drink only bottled water from an out of state source. The gypsum stacks have destroyed the Florida aquifer.

[@cinmac3]

No practitioner in our area. Thanks. We drink distilled water.

[@alessandralombardi9531]

Grazie Jodie lezione molto interessante

[@JodieKrantz]

Prego Alessandra 😊

[@barbaravonmarschall1282]

I think that helps me to walk again ♥️ I feel so good , I could even get my legs up and starting 🙋‍♀️

[@JodieKrantz]

Wonderful to hear Barbara!

[@theinfiniteperspective896]

Do you think there'd be a benefit to simply visualize the movements? For those you are not able. Perhaps more like a guided visualization with more descriptions of how it feels.

[@JodieKrantz]

Absolutely. I have a client who does all my lessons this way, lying on her bed. She's is getting wonderful relief of pain and tension!

[@mercedesdeloslobos3925]

[@LR-je7nn]

If we just replaced the smoke breaks and after work beers with things like the clock stretch and jumping rope we would be a lot healthier.

[@JodieKrantz]

@L R Agreed! 😄

[@SowingSeedsWithChristy]

Great lesson! It's just i had to strain to hear you. I did, however, subscribe. :)

Trying to improve my audio. Thanks so much for subscribing!
