This CD or Download features 2 half hour Feldenkrais Lessons for the
Back Bow and Shoulder Stand Postures.
The Bowing Back
The Bowing Back is an extreme position that yoga practioners seek to energize
their body. Extending and arching the back counteracts all of the bending-forward
types of movements that we do every day and greatly improves posture. It is
often difficult for people to arch their back & grab their ankles. This
Feldenkrais Lesson will make it possible and easy to do for many.
The Shoulder Stand
This pose places the body in an upside-down position. Therefore the blood supply
to the brain is greatly increased. This may enhace clear thinking & memory.
Because this movement requires an inverted position, you are lengthening the
back muscles and stimulating the network of nerves that connect to the spinal
cord. In addition, the compression of the abdomen stimulates the intestines,
the liver, the sex organs, and the thyroid gland, revitalizing your entire body.
This pose is taught in steps. Each step creates easy access to standing on your
shoulders.
