Lesson: Arching the Back

Source: Larry Goldbarb’s Back in Action series

As part of the third online Feldenkrais^® Awareness Summit, we wanted to share an Awareness Through Movement^® lesson again in as many languages as we could find teachers to record it. We came up with 21!

All of these Feldenkrais^®teachers are presenting a lesson in their own words. This is not a translation but rather a bit of each teacher’s own personal teaching style.

What you can expect

While each person’s experience is unique, this gentle exploration will foster:

Easier breathing
Lightness in standing
Freedom in the upper back
Connection and Increased Stability
Surprise that you can change so rapidly

How to do a lesson

Have a small stack of hand towels or a small firm pillow to place under your head as needed.
Go very slowly.
Pause the audio as needed to give yourself time.
Move within your own comfortable range. Do NOT push or strain. You will get more benefit from doing less.
Be curious and enjoy the changes.
Follow any healthcare restrictions you have been given.

Short Bio:	Linda Tellington-Jones PhD (Hon) graduated from the first Feldenkrais professional training taught by Moshe Feldenkrais at the Humanistic Psychology Institute in San Francisco in 1978. At that time she was already internationally renowned for her contributions to the horse world but was looking for new possibilities and ways to enhance learning and overall function. This introduction to Feldenkrais, in combination with her fascination with cellular intelligence, resulted in the development of the Tellington TTouch® Method that has spread to 5 continents. It is a gentle method for improving behavior, performance, wellbeing and enhanced learning for all animals. It is also widely successful for use for human healthcare. Linda has written 21 books published in 16 languages. She lives in Florida with her husband, Roland Kleger, and their dog, Griffin.

Title of Session:

Topic Description:	How can you enhance your self-image as you age? You will learn how to appreciate the journey of aging by connecting with the phenomenal intelligence in every cell in your body. Applying gentle Tellington TTouch® for yourself and your clients, you will learn to love and accept the changes in your body, and recognize the miracle you are. Tellington TTouch® carries a message that creates a connection to the universe within you, offering an opportunity to enhance the quality of your life.
