Basic instructions for doing the lessons
The Equipment

Before you start playing the audio, you need to find the right space and setup. You need enough space to lie on the floor and extend your arms out to either side of you. (For some lessons you may need a little more space than this.)

You want the space to be reasonably quiet and warm enough that you won't be distracted. At the same time, you're not planning for a silent meditation retreat.

You probably would like to have some kind of blanket or mat.]

As a Feldenkrais teacher in Houston, TX, I'm thrilled to see that TOS people are discovering this profound and gentle work.

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.

Best wishes,
MaryBeth
