Thanks! Back surgery for scoliosis is a trauma for the body. Alfons movement lessons are a healing journey, necessary for learning to adjust to the new reality. Always learning!
Very interesting and lovely lesson, Alfons. I noticed how important it is to turn the head ever so slightly in the end. Then the integration of both sides is frankly delicious :) Thank you again!
I just found this one, I've been back on my bicycle the last few days and really feeling it though my hips. Alfonso it's always a pleasure, like spending time with a quirky and gentle friend. Thank you x
Also I thought it was funny to experience this guidance in a completely different climate. I had to pause to put on another layer of clothing as well a light blanket, while you were there sweating :)
Thank you so much, Alfons, for this and all the lessons you share. My right hip has a little clunk in it that did not go away, but the tension in what feels like tendons to the right of my knee that felt like they were twisting back and forth over one another relaxed. I could really feel a spot to the right of my sacrum which is a place I can feel when my glutes are firing correctly after other lessons I’ve done of yours on the hips and glutes. I want you to know that a couple years ago I couldn’t walk or use my hands and arms for relatively unknown reasons and then I found Feldenkrais and you. Today I hiked 4 miles and cooked and varnished a stool. I am so grateful for your work which pairs with meditation and changing my thoughts so that they feel good. Your lessons are a part of my day that feels relaxing and joyful and I KNOW they make the rest of what I do possible. Bless you!!
Alfons you linked me here from the cross legged sitting video. This helped to free some ‘stuck stuff’ inside the front of my left hip from a hernia repair repair (yes I did it twice) that was affecting my right hip. I guess it was adhesions they asked me to accept the risk of before the surgery. Keeping the body working is like sweeping the tide out. Maintenance.
keeping the body well maintained is like sweeping the tide out… beautifully put! when I look up from my screen and forget about taxes, mandates, and deadlines, I sometimes think that‘s all we got to do… keep this body moving, and help others to do so as well there’s days you catch a good wave when the tide comes in and surf‘s up and all is well
ah, that was different! very good to be on my front and not difficult for my neck. now I have to do the other leg ... my right leg is so long! Thank you dear teacher xxx
Thank you for everything!! You instructions helped me break a three year pain cycle after pelvic surgery and I credit your work with my mobility and regained core strength today! I feel better then I have in years!!!!!! ~c
Alfons you are just wonderful,your excercises have done so much good to my body ,this set is the right thing to do for my stiff thigh and hip joint thank you , you vare a savior!
I love Feldenkrais with Alfons. Feldenkrais is meditation in movement, where I can calm down after a stressful day. Thank you for your funny teaching, very seldom I fall asleep ; )
My right hip, quad amd outside of the leg feels sooooo good, and relaxed. Now I need something to open my upper back :) Love your lessons and always excited like a lil girl when you have a new one up :) Thank you Alfons.
Thank you Alfons. I only stumbled across your channel yesterday and have enjoyed the two lessons I have completed very much. How impressive that you offer all this content for free! So very generous of you. You're highly likeable, come across as humble (my favourite trait in a teacher!) and caring...so thank you. Have made a donation. "See" you again soon! Best wishes from the British Virgin Islands!

I have been suffering from sciatica since January. This exercise really helps that condition. I have had trouble as well with a chronic tightness in my outer thigh muscles. I did this exercise yesterday on my right side and it really began to address that issue. It did it so well that I repeated it today on my left side. Thank you so much for making the video and for doing the cards at the beginning.
Great excercise, much needed as the muscles in the back of my thighs want to cramp up, so I need to stop, relax, then come back into the excercise when gradually the cramping seems to subside.
Grazie per queste delizie che ci propini. Io vorrei solo non perdermi nulla neanche delle sue parole. Purtroppo non conosco l’inglese e quindi mi devo accontentare. C’è del suo lavoro in italiano,compresi i video.
You make this movement fun and interesting! I am amazed at the differece my body feels each step of the way! This is a forever learning experience and i totally understand why you love this so much! I could do this video lesson 100x and learn new things about my body! Such a happy amazing journey of exploration! 🎯🎉🤸♀️
It's been a while. I just finished this lesson. I did it because I've had tightness in my right hip flexors. Amazing how working on the opposite side of the body has now released everything in the front. Thank you Alfons. See you in the next lesson...
Beautiful lesson! amazing sensation of increased leght after the work on one side, and more amazing how easy and loose it was to work on the second side. Thank you!
Thanks Alfons, I notice a lot of tension in my tailbone in the beginning when we took the leg to the side but when we joined with the other leg it got better :) My biggest sensation was my right hamstrings got one meter longer! Thanks :)
Hi Alfons - Thank you for creating all these videos. We have started to do one per day during this strange time in lockdown, and they have improved our posture, neckpain, backpain and confidence. We have a request - could you do something for the pelvic floor, please? Greetings and thanks from London
It’s much worse than you did phantom, it’s supposed to be repeated in a multitude of positions and variations. The possibilities for human movement, as with music, language, and imagination, are endless.

the rule of Feldenkrais: it feels so nice.
in contrast to the rule ''more pain; more gain'
THKU Alfons for sharing !!!

Thank you Alfons, I was surprised how much harder I found it to the right. By the end it was much improved.
Such a helpful lesson -feels super energizing and more balanced. Loved the philosophy about comfortable human communication. sweer!

I just watched for today. Tomorrow I will do the movements with you. You go slowly and I like that. Great lesson.

Thank you so much! This really helped my right hip pain. I hope to be able to study with you in person some day!

Do you have like a 20 minute every day maintenance program for the overall body, you can’t do them all all thought I will try
So is the whole process you did with the right supposed to be repeated on the left side to complete this exercise?
It’s much worse than you did phantom, it’s supposed to be repeated in a multitude of positions and variations. The possibilities for human movement, as with music, language, and imagination, are endless.
Who is the man who appears on the TV behind you?
Haha well spotted! An „easter egg“ 🤣🤣 That‘s a picture of Moshé Feldenkrais
What is he saying to you from the TV set?
@@ImprovingAbility 😳👍
