Posture with a Purpose - A Whole-Self Approach to Improving Posture
by Bridget Quebodeaux

The way you move both informs and is informed by the way you act, think and feel. Restrictive habits in movement and posture inhibit your natural body intelligence and limit your freedom of true self-expression in action. Improving your posture isn’t about stretching or exercising or holding your body in the “right” position. Improved posture arises organically from ways of moving and being that are natural and feel good. Posture with a Purpose utilizes directed attention and sensory-motor exploration to help you discover your best posture and live your best life.

There are no rules to remember, no exercises to feel guilty about not doing. These lessons will help you transform sensory motor exploration into learned improvement and healthy habits that you'll keep for life. Perfect posture is within you and practiced mindfulness and self-awareness can help you set it free.

An excellent introduction to the Feldenkrais Method®.

Hadaka-Jime: The Core Technique of Practical Unarmed Combat
by Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc., Foreword by Moti Nativ

Hadaka-Jime: The Core Technique for Practical Unarmed Combat is a unique training program that is based on one core Judo technique. Dr. Feldenkrais developed the program as emergency training for soldiers in World War II. Through ten one-hour lessons, soldiers learned to defend themselves against an armed opponent in the most rapid and effective way possible.

Feldenkrais emphasizes concepts of the learning process throughout the book. He encourages the reader to maintain a relaxed attitude, to start with slow and precise movements as he explains the timing, and to master the movements by repetition. The result is a spontaneous movement which is correct and precise.

He emphasizes that a fighter must first acquire the ability and then put it to practical use. Thus, the first three lessons teach the core technique, Hadaka-Jime. The remaining lessons implement the technique in a variety of situations - against armed or unarmed attacks from different directions - all of which culminate in the use of the core technique. This approach deepens the learning so that the fighter can effectively perform the core technique with many alternatives to survive the situation.

    "This impactful book reveals a pioneer who is equal parts warrior and educator, who creates a lesson-like experiment, rich in the interplay of theme and variation. Thank you, Moti, for making this historically important book available once again."
    - Larry Goldfarb, Feldenkrais® Trainer

Sex-The Feldenkrais®Way for Women - CD or Download
by Donna Ray, M.A., M.F.T.

In the 1940's, a medical doctor named Arnold Kegel developed a series of exercises for women with urinary problems and women who had poor muscle tone in their vaginas. These sequences were actually adapted from sexual exercises practiced in India for thousands of years. Most women have heard about Kegels and know that they can help women have longer, deeper, more profound orgasms, in some cases making sex enjoyable for the first time. Now Donna Ray, Feldenkrais® Educator & psychotherapist, has added Feldenkrais® Movements to the Kegel exercises, magnifying the power, breadth, and scope of sexual proficiency available to women.
Based on the work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. 1 CD or Download, 63 mins. List Price: $16.95, Your Price: 15.26 w/coupon.

May the Force Go Through You
by Alan Questel

Easier, more comfortable living can emerge from a more efficient use of our skeleton, yet this ability is a hidden and relatively unperceived aspect of who we are. Finding our skeleton allows a new way for us to interact with our environment.

Through Awareness Through Movement® we will discover how we can become more "skeletal", resulting in a new and more vital sense of ourselves in a truly foundational way.

Riding with the Whole Self
by Paris Kern

Equestrians of all skill levels will find this program innovative, fun, educational and effective for improving their skill, recovering from injury or simply riding more comfortably.

These lessons will help you develop the ability to self-regulate and adjust your riding posture from moment to moment. Horses respond to the information transmitted from your pelvis, feet, legs, back, arms, and hands. These signals must be precise. But often riders unintentionally give mixed messages that confuse the horse. With Riding with the Whole Self lessons, you will gain the tools to recognize when and how this happens and how to be more focused and precise. This precision will lead to less fatigue and more comfort for both you and your horse.

The first 6 lessons are to be done at home either lying or sitting on the floor or a chair. The last two lessons are done mounted.

8 Feldenkrais® Lessons, 7 CDs with Booklet, List Price: $64.95, Your Price: $58.46 w/coupon.
