Really good article by Joe Webster about Moshe Feldenkrais's background in Judo

Ever wondered why so many Awareness Through Movement® lessons start on the floor? 🥋

The answer lies in Judo.

In his latest article for SensAbility, Judo and the Feldenkrais Method®: From Self-Defense to Self-Knowledge, Joe Webster unpacks how Moshe Feldenkrais extracted the universal mechanics of martial efficiency and brought them into somatic education.

By stripping away the stress of combat, Moshe created a space where your nervous system can quiet down, let go of protective tension, and discover entirely new ways to move.

Sun 19th July 'Beyond Hip Joints' 2-5pm (uk)
Online Feldenkrais Workshop
With victoria Worsley
Being able to find more range of mobility in the hip joints, for yoga, dance, martial arts or just ease in life is often sought after. But the traditional focus of simply stretching the hips open in different ways doesn't work for all of us, and even when it does it can lead to a lack of connection (and so strength) that does not always support healthy functionality and can even lead to injury. Less known is the relationship of the hip joints to the mobility of the back and chest, which can enable better range of motion supported and enabled by the whole torso.

'Smarter Than Stretching"
Feldenkrais online workshops
June 14th and July 19th 2-5pm
£35 for one and £60 for both.

1) Sun 14th June 'Beyond Hamstrings'
The classic flexibility test is whether you can touch your toes while sitting or standing with legs long. How useful it actually is as a test of functional agility is one good question, but another is whether the traditional approach of simply stretching the hamstrings is the most useful way of addressing it? Is it more interesting as a question about functionality - like how we can reach in different directions while sitting? or reach in the direction of the floor when standing? Could we use it as a way to improve our use of the chest and pelvis to connect and enable legs and arms? We will use two or three classic feldenkrais lessons to explore the possibilities.

2) Sun 19th July 'Beyond Hip Joints'
Being able to find more range of mobility in the hip joints, for yoga, dance, martial arts or just ease in life is often sought after. But the traditional focus of simply stretching the hips open in different ways doesn't work for all of us, and even when it does it can lead to a lack of connection (and so strength) that does not always support healthy functionality and can even lead to injury.
