Easy Turning

This lesson will guide you in learning how to turn your head without causing excess strain or tension on your neck and back. This is a great lesson for anyone that works at a desk or drives for a living. If you notice less range of motion or stiffness in your neck, you'll be amazed at how this basic lesson can really highlight what your habitual movement patterns are and how to change them!

This is a longer video with a lot of variations, don’t hesitate to just do one for a few days and gradually add more complexity over a longer period of time so your brain can take the time it needs to process and learn. As always, rest often and do the least amount of effort possible.

The Pelvic Clock

The 10 Essential Lessons: The Pelvic Clock This is by far Paul's FAVORITE Feldenkrais lesson (which is saying a lot because he's obsessed with all of his lessons). He won't stop talking about how amazing and exciting this lesson is! Don't even get him started on the BALANCE DISC!

This video provides valuable, fundamental education about the anatomy of your spine and how it can move most efficiently (and beautifully!). With this knowledge, we hope you can explore this simple, seated lesson that helps you learn how to move your back with less tension. We often give this lesson on someone’s first day of PT because it's very easy to integrate into your daily life (sitting in a chair anywhere!) and it can address and help reduce pain in the hips, neck, and low back.
