The suggestions in the original post on this thread are good ones. Additionally, it is very important to *keep yourself comfortable* during the entire lesson. The Feldenkrais Method is NOT another "no pain - no gain" therapy or exercise. Rather, feeling where your comfort zone is, and staying within it, gives your nervous system valuable information to begin to guide you out of what I call "pain patterns." Do less than you can, or think you should. Rest frequently during the lessons. It's even OK to listen and just imagine the movements.

Many, many people use the Feldenkrais Method to reduce stress and pain, and to improve their functioning in daily activities. Easy does it. There is much to be discovered here.
