Alfons - this was exactly what I needed! I am receiving treatments of acupuncture, physiotherapy and cold laser for pain and restriction in my hip resulting from a recent car accident but restimulating injuries from a violent attack 70 years ago. You brilliantly made it all easy fun and the child-like positions and movement gave me a sense of safety and freedom that have been unavailable to meuntil now. Thanks for you kind generosity in sharing your wisdom with such great teaching skills!
Greetings Alfons! From North Carolina, USA! I'm a 67 yo female who suffers from upper thoracic spine pain from a slip and fall. I'm always stiff and usually in some pain. I do pilates and some yoga. Go to chiropractor twice a month. Your 2 1/2 yo video popped up in my feed a week ago. I decided to try it. LOL LOL Now, but a week later, I did much better! It moves my body in ways different from my other exercise, which is a good thing! 😊 Many Thanks ❤
Once again, a fantastic lesson. Thank you very much, Alfons. I have been doing your lessons almost daily for a month now with amazing learning and results. So much so, that my husband joined me for this lesson and we had an excellent time making the interesting moves and feeling how fantastically ‘moved’ our hip joints felt when we got up and walked about. Fun and learning, you are most appreciated.
Dear One, I often find myself finding out the classes you offer on lying down on the back, as the most restful! Today I dare to do this which it was more active and challenging, at moments, and I may say the result is sooooooooooo good!! Feeling now so much supple, open, grounded and relax! Thank you so much! I am just reading your book in these days and I love it! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE JOY AND LOVE you contribute to humanity in this here and now!
Alphons, you are amazing! You have helped me so much! My back is fused from the sacrum to between my shoulder blades. I had one major scoliosis surgery and then, seven years later, I had a second revision surgery. I felt like a robot. So stiff. Lacking flexibility. So many walking problems. No pain, but I felt like a brick body with arms and legs. After five years of various physical therapies, I had to move to a remote area. My fabulous physical therapist suggested to me to try Feldenkrais. I found you on TH-cam up here in the middle of the woods. Every lesson is another exploration for my body to discover all the things it can do. I walk more freely, more upright, more comfortably….after the exercises. Thank you so much for your life work which has born so much fruit in mine.
Alfons, what a lovely enjoyable lesson, chuckled with you all the way 😀 The best thing about the lesson was the feeling of opening in my left hamstring, as if the knots were being untied, tension releasing. Just beautiful. I have grown so much with your lessons. So grateful for you and your work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏
Yeyyyyy!!! I did it , I did it !!! I am so happy I can’t stop going to your next videos !!! But this one in particular was a soul opening and connecting with my whole body! I am 53 years old and thought my flexibility is not like it used to be. But with you Alfons I’m renewed 😊🤗 thanks a lot I can’t describe how happy I am 🙏🏻
Thank you Alfons, you help me so much to be be able to do my work as an acupuncturist... and I pass your name and TH-cam link to people EVERY DAY! Plus : you are fun! Aaaand time to buy your book.🙏🏽👍🏽🌹
This lesson was rather advanced for me but thoroughly enjoyable. It made me more aware of large scale limitations I will have to address slowly than the previous beginner lessons I have been doing. On the other hand my Japanese wife said this particular lesson made me look like a cute giant panda rolling around the floor so I guess it was worth it...
Alfons, you are a fabulous Feldenkrais teacher - it's great fun, warm and soothing even when I can't do all the movements with ease, you make it kind, compassionate and self-compassionate for your students. With enormous gratitude that you bring people around the world together with Moshe Feldenkrias' work!
Wonderful lesson! Thank you 🙏 your hip movement lessons always bring so much emotional peace as well. Feelings of releasing emotions stored in the hips.
I am following your channel for more than a year now.Yet another creative lesson. How much more you have in store. I gave up remembering all the sequence. I guess it is limitation of memory. While, if I feel for what my body is needed, vola.. I am already doing one of your sequences. Later I also learnt, focusing on improving the quality of the movement is important than which sequence I am doing.
Thank you Alfons, this opened up a lot of movement in the back. It reminded me, after a couple of months of not doing my movement practice, how much power and possibility in my body.
Hullo dear Al Fons, this was a God send for me as I was recovering from a hip flex problem and it feels so much better. I am 74 years old and felt really happy with myself as I was able to successfully do all your exercises except for the last one. I am a yoga chi gung teacher so I am reasonably flexible . You are a lovely comfortable teacher, so natural and so likeable and pleasant and so natural. Thank you from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺. ❤️🙏😘 What country do you live in? I hope all is going well with the terrible virus situation causing so much suffering in the world. We in Australia are so very fortunate probably because we’re an island continent in the Southern Hemisphere. Keep on sharing please and teaching and helping so many people in the world. You are so very generous and appreciated. Warmest blessings, Mellaine Newman.
Thank you Alfons! Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and share your knowledge. I really appreciate it, I cannot afford to see a Feldenkrais practitioner for now, and do alot of this type of work on my own at home. So glad I found you. :) Feldenkrais reminds me of the ways children naturally move their bodies during playtime or whatever. It's very natural.
My...what i got out of it ..you live it a beautiful place..my body...needs more of this..it was hard for me ...but i feel really good after the movement that i cannot explain..I must do this again that i do know.
Bellissima! Era tanto che non la facevo! Mi sono divertita un sacco! Sono pessima con l’inglese, ma le immagini mi aiutano molto! E che bel paesaggio: dove ti trovi?
My hips are sooo happy! Feldenkrais is a total game changer, the fourth Musketeer (next to Pilates, Mckenzie and ELDOA) to fight for the preservation of movement as we age. You are a joy to watch. Thank you!! Any chance you might want to visit Toronto, Canada one day and bring your approach to Feldenkrais to our Centre? :)
Hola he probado muchos métodos pero desde que practico Feldenkrais la percepción de mi cuerpo y del movimiento ha avanzado muchísimo. Agradezco profundamente tus vídeos porque sigo aprendiendo con facilidad. Son ,muy didácticos. Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Argentina
Hi Alfons, this movements are so beneficial...i feel relaxed and good within. I had displasia on the right hip as baby and it moves differently and bit painfully yet i manage to make the entire rotations. Can you suggest please some additional exercises for this type of restrains on one of the hip joints, I hope to arrive to a feeling of confidence physically for the right hip, like release the tension, free the restrein when banding it towards the torso etc.?
Glad to see a new video 💚 I love to hear you talk through the videos 😊 About the lesson or otherwise. I’ve been using your videos and my walking is better 😊 I still utilize a cane, but I feel stronger 💪🏽Thank for sharing your knowledge 💚
Currently working through the recent videos including this and the looking behind ones ..... am interested to know does anyone else have a feeling in their body after to either hold an over corrected position or get an urge to move in a certain way which results in a click and release (usually in the spine or neck) which leaves a much more comfortable home/resting position?
Thank you very much for your helpfull videos. I am practicing your videos but i am looking for videos especially for hernia and slipped disc. Can you send me the link for my problem please.
This one's pretty challenging but fun, I'm breathing way deeper which is awesome, Tich Natt Hann (sorry for spelling) He says self love is choosing to breathe.....hmmmmm
Hello Alfonso. An other great lesson! I started with pain on my right hip and lower back. I feel already better. Do you think is OK to do it domorrow also? Wich is your book for the back? Thank you so much I hope you r doing well within this strange situation!
yes, you can practice every day, if you do it small and slow enough. put a small towel behind your lower back so that it doesn’t flatten down to the floor. use the towel to maintain a neutral lordosis (arch) in your lower back. My book for the back unfortunately got un-published due to a copyright claim and a cease-and-desist threat. I need to fix the problems and then publish an updated version. With the corona situation this might take up to a year...
Hello All....I’m back...i was not satisfied with my first whirl at this lesson...this is my 2nd time here...i injured my hip flexors about 1 year ago and I still have a limp on my right ...I’m not pushing it ...it is not easy to get my elbow over my right knee at all yet ...i just pretend ....for now.. ill be back..😬
My second Alfons lesson today. 😊

Super fun for a Sunday morning.
It's a beautiful company of a very good person for 32 minutes where one can learn all hip joint movements with ease.

For me, this lesson was awkward, hilarious, delightful, and gradually magnificent. Thank you! 🌺😊
I love your enthusiasm, your laughing... This felt more for me like a gymnastics lesson 😂 but the effect amazing as always 💖 Thank you dear One 💖
I always feel happier after your classes, loosened up both literally and figuratively
🤣😇🙏

Wonderful class and appropriate for my stiff and tender 72 year body. slowly realigning!
This lesson was the most exhaustive ever. But my body knows i was necessary and he joins with me to thanks you!
I enjoyed this immensely. Thank you.

Top!
Thank you very much for your helpfull videos. I am practicing your videos but i am looking for videos especially for hernia and slipped disc. Can you send me the link for my problem please.
Don’t do this one when you have a hernia. I have a couple of videos for stabilising your back, just look through my videos. More is coming!
@@ImprovingAbility Thank you very much Alfonso. I hope i can differenciate from videos which are good for my back. 🙏
This one's pretty challenging but fun, I'm breathing way deeper which is awesome, Tich Natt Hann (sorry for spelling) He says self love is choosing to breathe.....hmmmmm
Fantastico
Hello Alfonso. An other great lesson! I started with pain on my right hip and lower back. I feel already better. Do you think is OK to do it domorrow also?
Wich is your book for the back? Thank you so much I hope you r doing well within this strange situation!
yes, you can practice every day, if you do it small and slow enough. put a small towel behind your lower back so that it doesn’t flatten down to the floor. use the towel to maintain a neutral lordosis (arch) in your lower back.
My book for the back unfortunately got un-published due to a copyright claim and a cease-and-desist threat. I need to fix the problems and then publish an updated version. With the corona situation this might take up to a year...
What do you recommend if you're feeling some pull or soreness when you're doing a movement
Feldenkrais recommends smaller movement, or move slower, or just do it in your imagination. I hope this helps!
👍
Hello All....I’m back...i was not satisfied with my first whirl at this lesson...this is my 2nd time here...i injured my hip flexors about 1 year ago and I still have a limp on my right ...I’m not pushing it ...it is not easy to get my elbow over my right knee at all yet ...i just pretend ....for now.. ill be back..😬
У меня почки замёрзли после этих упражнений. (
Alfons, did you climb a beanstalk to get so high up in the sky? Did you sell your cow for magic beans? Eye’m glad you’re not an Englishman.
haha I’m still looking for the Golden Goose! ;) can you point me in the right direction?
@@ImprovingAbility hmmm... eye will ask alexa... she is a know it all. i am only a know some
these movements were fun and liberating, thank you so much
