Trilogy Vol. 3: A Course of Change
By Larry Goldfarb

Why are some Lessons so potent that we perceive ourselves and possibilities anew?

A Course of Change introduces new, comprehensive ways of understanding how lessons work. You will learn systemic maps that specify how we create the conditions for learning. You will discover how to chart the complete span of the compositional structure that underlies lessons and spells out Feldenkrais® teaching tactics. Putting these cognitive models to work in experiential exercises, you develop the insight and skills necessary to consistently engage curiosity and elicit compelling, lasting learning.

"The Trilogy lets us get back to the very basis of our learning as Feldenkrais® practitioners. It offers a fresh view on what it is that we actually do in ATM and FI. With the SPIFFER structure, what we see becomes clearer and, together with the broad space given for practicing FI, more clarity in touch emerges."
   -Monika Vogelmann, Physician and Feldenkrais® Practitioner, Germany

Price: $325.00, 12 DVDs in a binder with a data CD which includes a Study Guide, Articles and SPIFFER notes. Your Price: $292.50 w/coupon.

Finding Center and Ground
by Ralph Stauch

Your felt experience of center - what the Chinese refer to as your Tan T'ien and the Japanese as your Hara - contributes to your sense of self as a competent physical being, comfortable with your place in the world. Your experience of support from the ground does also. Yet both can get lost in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. These lessons put you back in touch with those experiences, and in so doing, help you become who you really are.

This CD is an excellent companion to the DVD sets, Living in Gravity.

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.

Creating Effortless Posture: Let Gravity Do the Work
by Erin Ferguson, M.A., GCFP

What if you were willing to let go absolutely?
What would hold you up?
First you have to feel what support really is.
Then you can do the big stuff in life.

In these two CDs, Erin Ferguson will present “The Magic Roller Lessons.” These are gentle, powerful Awareness Through Movement® lessons that awaken your ability to sense an unhindered transmission of force through your bones to the ground. To do these lessons, you will need two thick blankets, space to lie on the �oor, and a bath towel.

The movements are easy, accessible and suitable for all levels - from those in chronic pain to high performance athletes. The challenge will be in trusting yourself to make new adjustments to gravity as you sense greater possibilities for support.

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.

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®.

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.

Corollary Discharge, The Forgotten Link - Remarks on the Body-Mind Problem
by Yochanan Rywerant

Once an intention of action is formed, communication is sent from the motor system to the sensory systems to prepare the body for the intended movement.  This communication is called corollary discharge, a little-understood aspect of our neuromuscular functioning. Learned through repetition that is performed with sensory awareness, the corollary discharge is highly developed in people of skill (musicians, athletes, surgeons...) and becomes an integral part of their self image, allowing them to have ease, fluidity and congruence in their movements. 

Yochanan Rywerant brings this subliminal aspect of our selves to conscious awareness, both for the appreciation of the function and so that we may become more able to deeply sense and enhance our motor functioning. Through his mastery of mind-body education, he teaches us how to utilize corollary discharge to resolve conflicting patterns and open the channels of communication between our motor and sensory systems.
