Upright your balance, you improve everything
We're each coordinated in our own individual way. Our muscular, skeletal, and neurological organization reflects our unique development and experiences. Some of our most important patterns form in infancy during 'tummy time.' During this critical period, our brain learns to orient our head and neck in space, coordinate our eyes, and organize our muscles in response to gravity, enabling us to maintain an upright posture. The patterns that we establish while lying on our bellies make crawling, standing, and walking possible and become the foundation of our upright future.
The two Feldenkrais lessons in this on-demand mini-workshop are designed to stimulate your capacity for improvement and well-organized function. They will immediately begin to improve your balance. Easy Balancing is the fourth workshop in the Essential Action Toolkit.

Who are Feldenkrais lessons for?
They are for everyone. No previous experience is required. Feldenkrais lessons are gentle, flexible, and used by people of all ages and abilities, for a variety of reasons. If you would like to improve your physical comfort and abilities, this approach is for you.
Why are they called lessons?
They're called ‘lessons’ instead of ‘exercises’ because your brain engages in a process of sensory-motor learning when you do them. With easy movements and relaxed attention, new options for your physical comfort, posture, and movement will emerge.
Why does this approach work?
Feldenkrais lessons teach you how to reduce pain, restore function, and increase flexibility by directing your attention and guiding you through a series of gentle movements to activate your brain's neuroplasticity and bring about immediate improvements.
