“This is the one Seminar that put all pieces together for me. Do Less to Do More is a mantra I use every day for myself and tell all my patients to do so as well.” — C.B.
Do you have clients with low back, spine, hip, and knee difficulties in bending, standing, and sitting so that they can’t get down and up off the floor?
Consider that habitual old patterns that are repeated in the same way over and over can actually interfere with rehabilitation. Interrupt those patterns, and mobility improves without trying.
Would you believe you can enhance your clients’ movement abilities on the table – without asking them to move?
When you offer time for your client to sense their patterns to bend, sit and stand, you co-create practical strategies to enhance not only their ability to improve their agility but help find long-term solutions for their neck, low back, hips and knees.
AGILITY means being able to move easily in any direction quickly and lightly. This requires good balance, a brain that senses whole body action, easy joints, and an even give and take between the flexors and extensors of all muscles working in synergistic patterns.
We were Agile once – why not now?
We have found that the best way to support agility within your clients is for you, yourself, to experience several easy steps to become more agile.
Learn the steps to squat easily, fall safely, and get down and up off the floor.
Learn how to move quickly without a hurry.
When you strive for efficient movement, you learn how to counterbalance, bend, and move with as little effort as possible so that your neck, back, hips, ankles, and knees don’t get worse but actually start to improve and heal.
So — You don’t want to take 15 hours of moving? You won’t.
Can you take a moment to shift your mindset and imagine your-self learning a new approach to help your clients while lying on the floor –attending, in detail, to how you move? Then, you discuss and watch ways you can apply that learning to another?
Learn… and Become an ‘Embodied Learner’.
Experience specific Feldenkrais’ Awareness through Movement® lessons.
Learn partner collaboration for seeing patterns and working different ways to interrupt those patterns so that your client can have a new experience for sitting, standing and bending.
Learn to work indirectly so that ‘the problem area’ is prepared for any direct action you might want to suggest.
Learn to sense, in detail, how each action is performed and how variations in effort and path help create a new image for that action which creating the shift.
You will leave with more freedom in yourself to sense and explore new possibilities along with the ability to:
- Notice the patterns in a client and work indirectly first, away from the problem area.
- Illuminate space between all joints –and the relationship for distribution of effort
- Interrupt habitual muscular holding patterns, and non-verbally suggest new options — supporting a change in the Brain Map
- Develop skeletal support and improved balance and thus functional ability.
- Support clients to develop a sense of safety and personal control they can use for a lifetime of Agility.

Nikki and I love teaching this Seminar. There is more movement than most — but within the movement there is more meditation and reflection than what you might think when thinking movement.

PLEASE EDIT THIS PARAGRAPH — BonnieK recognizes that discomfort is often part of a pattern that most likely involves her torso. Before she feels any pain, she finds a slow way to move so that the space between her joints, that might be pinching a nerve, could open up. Then she works to alter the pattern she is in while sitting or moving. Before there is a crisis she discovers new patterns so she is back in a healthier action.

PLEASE EDIT THIS PARAGRAPH — Nikki as a young dancer, had a problem with her ankle. Her Feldenkrais® Practitioner at the time addressed her torso/CORE – until she found many different ways to put functional weight through her ankle when she stood, walked, and danced. Now she recognizes the experience of stopping the strain before she feels the pain.
