Ideas in Action - 2004: Improving Walking
By Larry Goldfarb

Learn the structure & strategy of Functional Integration® (FI) lessons. Explore the theory and practice of the Method by teaching lessons around a specific functional theme. Develop an understanding of not just what to do, but why, each phase of a lesson is presented with an eye to technical detail and to an explanation to the reasoning behind it. Considering time-tested lessons as if they followed the same logic as a musical score, Ideas In Action brings to light the compositional sense, technical organization and experiential processes that underlie effective, unforgettable learning.

You will learn, step-by-step, what to notice and how to respond. This fosters the deep appreciation of the grammar & syntax of lessons necessary to become a reflective practitioner. The finer points of technique and self-use are clarified.

In this program you will:
• Cultivate movement observation abilities
• Refine hands-on sensitivity & skills
• Develop better self-use
• Study classic lesson composition
• Learn FI scores & strategies
• Enhance creativity & intuition
• Become a more effective educator

   "The DVDs have been great, making it affordable for us to meet our CEU requirements and giving us an excuse to gather together from far and wide to share these ideas. The recordings are friendly and accessible.
   "I am so enjoying Larry’s thorough, thoughtful teaching style. I love his sense of humor and approachability. I hope that one day I'll be able to participate in a live class, but the DVDs are the next best thing."

May the Force Go Through You
by Alan Questel

Making our lives easier, more efficient and more comfortable can emerge from a more efficient use of our skeleton, yet it is a hidden and relatively unperceived aspect of who we are.

The function of our skeleton is to bear weight and transmit force, however it is underutilized in our everyday use. Finding our skeleton can become a new way for us to interact with our environment.

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

Exploring movement with Feldenkrais Method
By Marissa Harshman, The News-Review, January, 2009

At first glance, the room inside Options Through Movements could be mistaken for a yoga studio.

Soft light warms the cream walls, the floor is patched together with dark colored mats and music hums lightly in the background. The participants walk around in their socks and exercise clothes and eventually take their places on the mats. Continue reading here . . .

Riding with the Whole Self
by Paris Kern

Equestrians of all skill level with 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.
