When getting up and down is easier, everything else you do is easier!
How many times do we lift ourselves up from sitting to standing and lower ourselves down from standing to sitting in an average day? Navigating these transitions safely requires coordination, balance, and effective organization of our body. As gravity exerts a downward force, our entire skeleton and musculature is involved in helping us to navigate getting up and down in comfort. Improving this important essential action will help to protect our hip and knee joints, back and neck, and our independent mobility.
This is the seventh workshop in the Essential Action Toolkit.
Improve • Enhance • Restore
Use this program to:
• Move from a chair to standing with greater ease
• Move from the floor to standing with greater ease
• Make the transition between being upright & seated without increasing muscular tension and neck and back pain
• Improve your sense of balance while organizing your body through ups and downs

“We can get used to pain and restrictions in our movement, and forget what it’s like to feel comfortable and move freely. These lessons will help you to remember! When your essential actions are easier, more efficient, flexible, and free of pain, everything you do will feel freer, lighter, simpler, and less stressful.”

Who are Feldenkrais lessons for?
They are for everyone. No previous experience is required. Feldenkrais lessons are flexible and used by people of all ages and abilities, for a wide range of reasons. If you have a brain and a body, Feldenkrais lessons are meant for you.
Why are they called lessons?
They're called ‘lessons’ instead of ‘exercises’ because your brain engages in a natural kind of learning when you do them. They use gentle movement and relaxed attention to stimulate new and better options for your physical comfort, movement, and more.
Why does this approach work?
Your brain is on the lookout for information that can help you, and Feldenkrais lessons give your brain what it's looking for: sensory information, time to notice differences, and a chance to build new neural pathways for greater comfort and mobility.
