You are such a blessing ! Thank you for all your videos.
Little by little, physical therapists and doctors are accepting that being instead of doing is the basis of our necessary transformation.
And that doing without being has no use.
I AM
thank you, simple and effective, i like the part were you said a story of movement
The GOAT! Thank you Alfons
No you’re the GOAT! Thank you for watching and this fun comment :))
It's was a lovely story of movements
It looks like you have a never ending treasure of stories
sweet, fun and effective, as usual!!😊🥰
Danke! Diese Übung fühlt sich an wie das Ende des Fadens der Ariadne und der Zuversicht, die dieser gibt, den Weg aus dem Labyrinth zu finden…
You are one of my favorites. Thank you!
Thank you Alfons For your great exercises
What a beautiful lesson Alfons. Felt like a thousands knot open in my arms and upper back, and then the pelvis untucked, and the holding in the knee melted. Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you Alfons, a wonderful excercise to relax the back and even the upper arm. Felt good in upper arms as it was being done.
Thanks, Alfons. You are much needed.
A short sequence, perhaps, but powerful! This lesson came along at the perfect time - I slept funky and my neck and shoulders needed a reset. Now they feel wonderful! And the magic of Feldenkrais also reset my pelvis. Thank you so much Alfons!
You are great positieve and give good exercises That really help. Thank you
Another master class Alfons.
What a Blessing!!!
Thank you 💚 for sharing
I love that the way you talk reminds me of Dana Carvey's character in the Hans and Franz skits.😋
Super sympathisch! Great content too!
We love you Alfons!
Love love this session. I even further invented some movements for myself but limited to the arms only. At the end when you asked us to stand up our up knees, I didn't know how to go further at my stage .
Obrigado!!! Simples e eficiente!!
Thank you 🙏 it helped and the pain is almost gone in my neck! the movements feel good and the words are soothing and inspiring.
Spectacular. Greatly reduced tension in my neck and upper back.
Superb, great start to my day. Thanks so much for sharing your skills with us all.
I loved this lesson. Thank you. Greetings from Melbourne Australia.
Thank you so much, Alfons!
this relaxed 3-day beard really suits you 😏

😂so much out of the doing that I fall deeply asleep while the session 😘🙏🏾💖 Thank you dear One 😊
Thank you for great advice and thorough instructions 🙏😀👍❤️
Very interesting, thank you!
Alfons, it is far more than "almost". It is very very lucky and privileged.
Alfons you are the best invention since sliced bread
😂 Thank you Gita! I know the saying, but need to add: My viewers are the (peanut) butter and honey then
that was lovely
Deep "thank you" from Russia.
it is very relaxing
Top!
Just repeating this. So delicious. Thanks again.

I'm 85 and you keep me moving loose and easy. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your support!! 🙏

Can you discuss pandiculation and how it relates to feldenkrais?
Delicious ❤
"To Have or To Be" By Erich Fromm is a great book that heavily intersects with The Feldenkrais Method, have you read it?
In Austria Erich Fromm is really popular, a lot of people like his writings, especially his poems.
I personally didn’t read much of him. How would you say do his writings intersect with those of Moshe Feldenkrais?
@ImprovingAbility The whole concept of the book introduces a differentiation between two existential states. (So here is the first similarity between the book and the Method, as in Feldenkrais we differentiate the movements, thus we discover a new quality of being and moving within the lesson). Erich introduces the existential way of "being" as compared to "having". The difference is huge. For example it feels so much better to constantly become a "man" and develop skills and virtues in order to do that, as versus "having a car" and thinking that having a car will make you a man. The being mode is about forever-becoming, developing, but never reaching something, as when you come close to becoming something, that something already changes into something else, because you have already changed in the process of becoming. So this is a never ending, self propelling process. In Feldenkrais you never "have" any goals, as compared to for example, working out in the gym, and having the goal of reaching for example 10 pullups. So Feldenkrais is about becoming fully human and entering the being mode instead of the having mode. This gives life more meaning and can cause insights into the mind by the way of learning the body. It is a wisdom practice disguised as a movement practice (more on that here th-cam.com/video/9aXGD2PjS9s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=D28NKd_G9ERihgdp )
Hi Alfons, i watched your video where you press the pubic bone into the floor to initiate the back extensors - but now I can't find it???
I can recall the moment when I filmed it, but can’t tell in which video it is either :( sorry about that
