  • In this video I am guiding you through a short Feldenkrais movement lesson designed to improve functions of back and relieve pain/discomfort.
    How to do a movement lesson:
    - I highly encourage you to watch the entire video first to become familiar with whole sequence of movements and instructions so when you do a lesson, you can pay more attention to your own body and movements.
    - Move SLOWLY so it's easier to notice a difference.
    - Move within your own comfort range; don't push/strain
    - Be curious and have fun!

    I have been doing your morning routine and the scoliosis routine number one as well as a couple others and the hip circles and shoulder circles each morning. I didn't have time this morning and came back to bed and found this one. I think I'm going to add this one on but also use it as my go-to when I don't have time to do all the others even though they only take a few minutes. I didn't find it as difficult as you said it might be but I think it's because I've been doing all the other routines, adding some new ones on each week for about 4 to 5 weeks. I'm amazed at how much different my gate has become and how much stronger I feel. Especially amazing to go to check my posture and realize that I'm already standing up straight the majority of the time which has been really impossible most of my life because of the scoliosis. Thank you for all you do!

    One of the things that I greatly appreciate about Feldenkrais lessons, is that they are also very calming. I struggle with meditation due to being ADHD, but with Feldenkrais there is just enough movement to keep me focused, whilst slowing my mind down.

    • @TaroIwamoto
      @TaroIwamoto  Рік тому +3

      Feldenkrais lesson is a form of meditation that involves movement, and movement provides a concrete physical means you can focus on, which makes it easier to stay focused on, I feel. Slowing down movement also means slowing down mind as they are connected:)

      @@TaroIwamoto yes! I am finding this session (which I did again today) particularly helpful...I usually have trouble getting back up off the floor, but my lower back was eased off enough not to get spasms. ☺

    I was making the bed this morning when my lower back seized up. Your channel was the first thing I thought of. After doing the pelvic tilt exercises I definitely have more range of motion. The area is still sensitive but not as bad. Thank you! 😊

    I did not find the link for the previous video you mentioned, but I have done the roll in another video or more. I am wondering how far down is best for my body, as I return. I’m aware of a habit of unconscious tightening and holding in this area, maybe to protect my tailbone from an injury when I was 11 years old. The hips and part of spine start to ache and release as I continued. The legs also loosen near the hips and I feel my body opening . I know my clothes fit better afterwards. Walking I feel more stable and my legs are heavier and I need to consciously lift them and move my hips sideways more than usual. Now sitting in a chair, I am feeling my sits bones more and also feel more stable. In the past the quality of that movement has been jerky and lots of gaps were apparent in the spinal column rolling down...rolling up I was not very aware of feeling my spine at all. Finally, the release in my lower spine feels new and yet appropriate for my body. I’ve done this rolling in Yoga for years, but forced my self to move, pulling in my abdomen and holding my breath. Thank you for this practice! I guess I’ll play around with this more and see how I settle into this new way of my lower spine supporting my body. It helps release my neck as well!

    I was trying to find your pelvic clock , what is the difference between to Alfose Grabhrr?
    I think t9 aqueeze my buttocks when I am in the air it might help, because something in all the movements I do doesn't seem to be helping or maybe I keep doing something wrong to rei-invitemy pains, what do you think.
