Love this idea in supporting the movement practice we do. How we understand language, use words adds a deeper meaning to how we move in our life as it unfolds and evolves.
Thank you Marek! I love your Feldenkrais lessons. I have several that I do first thing in the morning. They are perfectly balanced for aligning and invigorating my body. You are a gift to the people of the Earth. 🌎🧘🏻♀️🤸🏽♀️🥰
This is what I've been looking for for a long time. Due to eye problems I can only read or look at screens for a few minutes. Your reading is accessible and your commentary really helps me to digest the information. Much appreciated.
Love this idea! I am often complimented on my “great posture”, when in reality I struggle with a straight cervical spine, anterior pelvic tilt and muscular imbalances to name a few issues. Working on moving gracefully, even if a little crooked. 😌 Just starting The Potent Self.
Top! Straight means the smaller distance between two points… then in that case We only could be a squeleten burried since a long Time? What a man he was!!!
I just love how you explain MF teaching. I also read Thomas Hanna so brilliant but challenging to really understand. They where both so spot on with their wisdom. This is a great idea to read to us thank you! Dar
I think this is a great idea. I like the time given to understanding words and concepts about movement and especially the work of Feldenkrais. I will find it really helpful to open up what Feldenkrais writes. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this generous offering. I have listened to all 6 installments and am hungry for more. I wonder if what makes good posture aesthetically pleasing is that you can somehow "see" the ease and comfort the person feels in their body, and that's appealing.
Thank you for the comment. I imagine the passages from Feldenkrais's book could stimulate all sorts of responses that could enrich our understanding of posture, movement, awareness, etc. Some people will agree with the ideas of Dr. Feldenkrais, others may differ. There is so many disciplines that deal with posture in various ways. Sharing the ideas could be very enriching for all of us.
@FeldenkraisNYC Someone could for example say that Feldenkrais should not put down the importance of the aesthetics in posture. Let's say the person is an model or an actress and having good looking posture is the key to making a living and therefore very high on the importance scale. We could begin a conversation of what in human posture makes one look good? Is it a position of shoulder blades? Another person could say: "I understand there are only 3 bones of the spine that are vertically arranged (straight), so she understands that talking about straight spine is futile, but attending to vertical alignment of the shoulder blades has been an important strategy for a successful postural management. The conversation could go in many directions and contribute to our shared knowledge.

Oh, what a book! To your learning!
Greetings from Berlin. I like the idea of hearing brief fragments from the book and learning more about Feldenkreis in this way.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome, thank you!
For me knowledge is power. I always have to know why I'm doing what I'm doing or I won't do it. So this is a great idea for me.
We are glad it helps.

More is coming soon. I think you are spot on, Elizabeth. That quality we appreciate in great athletes, dancers and performers is just wonderful!
what an amazing idea ! Thank you, Marek
Super cool! I am happy you find it helpful.
What a great idea. Thanks a lot
Would you describe the idea of having a discussion, please? Thx - Ute
