A Guide to Body Sense: Vol. 1 Movement Patterns
by Robert J. Burgess, PhD, GFCP

A Guide to Body Sense is an essential resource for Feldenkrais® Practitioners, health professionals as well as the public who are interested in exploring their body-self relationship. Fifty beautifully illustrated Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® lessons are presented in the book with eighty pages of text. Each of the eight chapters explores anatomical segments and their relationships - the pelvis, trunk, arm-trunk coordination, leg-trunk coordination, feet and hands, movements in sitting, eyes, head & neck, and various advanced movements. The lessons in each chapter are presented as short sequences of movements which clearly enhance the sense of the skeletal movement and alignment. The book is designed to free the body of habitual patterns easing chronic conditions and keeping you young.

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.

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.

The function of our skeleton to bear weight and transmit force is underutilized in our everyday use. Finding our skeleton allows 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.

Riding with the Whole Self
by Paris Kern

Equestrians of all skill level 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.
