Sitting Series:
short lessons in awareness through movement
 
This two-cd set contains twenty short lessons in awareness through movement, the verbally-guided means of learning Feldenkrais. As the title indicates, they are all done in a sitting position, and form a comprehensive introduction to the possibilities of movement, awareness and comfort in sitting.
 
The lessons are quite like the ones you might do in a Feldenkrais group class, but at the same time they are very different: a group class is usually around an hour long while these are much shorter, ranging from four to eleven minutes. And there is no replacement for having a teacher — present, alive, responding to what you are actually doing. It is also more difficult to focus our attention and patience without the support of others.
 
So these brief lessons are not really intended to stand on their own. They are designed primarily for people who have already done my classes or individual lessons, who want something to help them remember and build on that experience. But they may be helpful as well to those who do not have immediate access to a Feldenkrais teacher; they may also serve as samples, indications of what to expect from a Feldenkrais class.
