A Spine Integration Lesson 1-21-2020

1/21/2020

0 Comments

 
This is a variation on Extensor and Flexor lessons similar to lesson 5 in the book Awareness Through Movement. Mostly we are lying on our backs, often with legs crossed, and arms long extended forward towards the ceiling.

Self Image and the Shoulder Clock

7/16/2019

0 Comments

 
This begins with an exploration of Brian-the-skeleton and the shoulder. The shoulder is connected to our neck, jaw, ribs, spine, from tailbone to skull. Perhaps this is why so often trauma to the rest of us shows up in the shoulder?

This is a very quiet, one-sided lesson. Feel free to do a small amount, or even explore in bed.

Rolling from your Back to Side Sit

7/9/2019

0 Comments

 
 This may be a challenging lesson. Try on an attitude of curiosity, rather than going for a goal. The end point is not important, it is the learning along the way that matters. 

The magic comes from letting the head be HEAVY. Not lifting the head...

The recording at times is not the best, which probably is when I'm working with students in the room.

Walking with your back

7/2/2019

Walking scan, and then a lesson lying down. How do you transmit force down through your legs, how do you sense the rebound from the Earth? How does this lesson impact your movement after the lesson? For one student who mostly imagined, he began with a tremendous limp from a lumbar injury; at the end of class, no limp. What changed for you?

An exploration based on the Alexander Yanai Awareness Through Movement Lesson 179. How does your breath impact your movement? How does your movement teach you new possibilities? 

We begin already lying on the floor.

AY 122: Rolling Right and Left

5/15/2019

0 Comments

 
Pay attention to how you do what you do, and only do what feels gloriously available, and delicious. This video below is an approximation of the lesson, as a reminder, but not as a determination of what you will do. Sometimes when doing a lesson, you would not even know I am moving. The beginning of the movement is enough. The intention is enough. Then, see how you change!

Be sure to do a scanning process on your back as you begin.

AY 325 Preparation for Rolling

4/2/2019

Play with the idea of not being goal oriented, and being goal oriented. Feel the movements associated with both states of mind. How does being goal oriented change your demeanor? How does it change your facial muscles?
