Practising movements right now to try and alleviate/resolve what looks like a bad patch of chronic lower back pain, hope that it will help, thanks for sharing this, love from Italy.
Thanks! That's wonderful! Please play gently and safely :) AND - have you checked out my other youtube video "Most Effective Back Pain Relief Feldenkrais Lesson" yet?
I am enjoying your lessons, Thank you! I do have a few questions. Why are we rotating at the start of exhale? and on the sea saw, are we waving the spine to create this movement , like a gentle arch the back and lengthening ? The neck and head are simply moving in response to this?what is the reason for not marring the movement with the breath? I look forward to learning from you. I loved how you explained the flexors and extensors !
Thanks for your questions Darlene! 1. The short answer is that the exhalation softens the chest, ribs, spine and belly. it's useful and safer to move that way. At the same time. please remember that any prescriptive breathing needs to be taken lightly. 2. As for the sea saw movement, yes, it creates a kind of a wave in the spine, but it is doing it in a very specific way. This movement is as beneficial only if you invest in discovering a way of doing it comfortably. Which is very difficult. You must practice and let go. It's unusual and (sorry) even a little unpleasant at first. And that's normal! and yes, the head and neck should be left alone! do not try and imitate me. Allow yourself to do it your gentle authentic way, please. 3. Marrying a movement with the breath is not recommended. it creates a pattern, and what we want to achieve is free relaxed intuitive breath. Thanks again. Really great questions!!
@@InfiniteMovement Thank you for the thoughtful and wise reply. You have me thinking. I like to think I can breath in any pattern, and I like your words prescriptive breathing needs to be taken lightly. I also feel more space when I join breath and movement. I often will return back to neutral on the exhale , so I will play with this tilting on exhale also. The image is beautiful(soft chest belly spine) and makes sense. I study the teachings of Thomas Hanna, and we do allot of this sea saw you speak of and was what I was sensing. And yes MUST be done gentle and to comfort. So creating a better pattern of breathing and movement is not of interest here? For ex; if someone was breathing only in the belly and moving on the inhale wouldn't one want to learn a new and better pattern? Thank you so much again, I am enjoying learning from you very much! I think Feldenkrais teaching is wonderful. I am in search for more of your teachings. Stay well, Dar
@@darlenecarman7644 that's beautiful that you're studying Hanna somatics. great questions again. So, a superfluous, or forced pattern of breathing i believe should not be "corrected". but clever breathing exercises and training can effectively direct a person towards that shift NATURALLY. We don't breath the same when we walk, sit, eat, talk, sleep, bend down, lean, run... and no two people breathe the same. while it can be beneficial to become aware of one's breathing patterns, I believe it should be left alone! more damage can be done while being hyper-aware of one's breath. And it's part of the autonomic nervous system. regulation of such processes must be encouraged indirectly, meaning, processes rather than "awareness to the problem itself." if you like to see more there's more of my videos on my playlist: (And if you like I can let you know of my weekly Zoom online classes too.)
the idea, again, is to be EXTREMELY GENTLE. SO a few minutes is a good start. Rest often, not because it's tiring, but to let the nervous system/brain gradually make sense, improve, learn, and to keep learning... These processes must be comfortable. Even to the point of sometimes barely moving..
