Twenty Awareness Through Movement® Lessons

The "Twenty Awareness Through Movement Lessons" book is both a learning and a teaching tool. These classic lessons are ideal for practitioners and students of the Feldenkrais Method looking for additional material to present to public classes where there is little or no prior experience of the Method.

Erin presents the lessons in a straightforward, easy-to-learn format. Each lesson is broken down into (1) orientation, (2) movement suggestion, and (3) sensory reference, all of which are noted with clear instructions in three columns.

Many practitioners and students have found this format beneficial for exploring the logic of Awareness Through Movement lessons. Working with lessons when they are explained in this way offers an opportunity to deepen your understanding and felt sense of their natural coherence.
