25.01.2022 Thank you #MadelineRogers for sharing your comments on this article: "Those readers who observe that the mind cannot be separated from physical functioning are absolutely right! The Feldenkrais Method, developed by Moshe Feldenkrais, a physicist who was also a martial artist, employs many of the principles articulated in this article, but with an emphasis on LEARNING a function of the nervous system. Using mindful movement, usually done lying down on the floor, the Method g...ently retrains the student to use the whole self in movement. In the hundreds of delightful lessons, which Moshe devised, the Feldenkrais Method engages every part of ourselves in pursuit of better skeletal and neurological organization, which ultimately results in better balance and improved spatial awareness and coordination. The so-called core is just one part of ourselves involved in the miracle of uprightness and balance: we also need the critically important eyes and ears (teleceptors) to guide movement; the feet to sense the ground; and an awareness of the spine, which connects our two power centers the pelvis and the head. In group Feldenkrais classes, called Awareness Through Movement, I teach seniors to use their heads (literally), their feet, their pelvises, even their lips and tongue in short, their whole selves. Without learning balance explicitly, they begin to relearn what every toddler learns naturally: the ability to balance over their own two feet with ease." See more

23.01.2022 'Tis the season to look after your self, and others..

20.01.2022 On your side. Support under the head and between the knees. Let the head, shoulder, and pelvis shift a little tiny bit forward and back. Try separately and together. Breathe easily. Rest often. #margaretkayefeldenkrais

20.01.2022 ‘Wide twist to the side.’ Lie on your right side. Starting with the left leg forward and right long and you hands at shoulder height, one hand on top of the other. Take your top arm towards the ceiling and see/feel how far you easily travel. Then add the knee lifting as you raise the arm. Then keep the arm behind as you lower the leg. Notice the arm travels back a bit. Then raise the knee as you lower the arm and vice verse. Try the left side. Back to the right: Place your ha...nd on your head and roll your head so the elbow goes towards the ceiling and see/feel how far you easily travel. Stay there and pull your belly in on the inhalation and feel how your chest expands.Then push out on the exhalation- gently. Place your top arm on the floor atshoulder height. Look at your hand and raise it towards the ceiling and let your eyes follow. Compare it to the first movement. Try the left side. #margaretkayefeldenkrais See more

19.01.2022 Oh! I know her!! And her! As an actor, the worst thing you can do is hold your breath. That's why Robyn Nevin, star of stage and screen, values the Feldenkrais Method. Through Feldenkrais lessons, she has learned how to breathe, speak, move and feel calm on opening night, rather than feeling panic.... Robyn is Patron of the Australian Feldenkrais Guild. Here she speaks with Sydney-based practitioner Margaret Kaye about why she chooses to promote this method. And you can gain further insight into the Feldenkrais approach to voice and breath in the Australian Feldenkrais Online Summit 2020. The Summit kicks off today with a conversation featuring Georgi Laney and Brad Thompson. If you've registered, check your inbox, including promotional emails, for today's discussion on Voice and Breath. If you haven't, registered, you still can ... for free. Phew!

18.01.2022 #margaretkayefeldenkrais Sitting: Elbow circles. Hand to head. Feel the movement starts from between the shoulder blades as you look at your elbow. Try either direction. Both sides.

16.01.2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHuGlC3r5hH/ Testimonial: ‘My Feldenkrais Session with Margaret Kaye is always a highlight of the week. I know Margaret with the surety of her skilled and articulate hands will read the tension patterns of my body and with effortless elegance restore me and subtly invite a fresh awareness to my nervous system. I will rise from the table slowly to walk and discover a delicious sense of lightness and balance yet fully grounded to the earth.... I want to dance.’ By Crissea #margaretkayefeldenkrais See more

15.01.2022 Dynamic Running: Land in the centre of the foot. The foot behind pushes off. The heel lifts backwards towards the pelvis.... The hips open in front as you put your weight on that leg. Use your arms as levers for the ribs to rotate. The forearms remain relatively level with the ground. Your head stays in centre. #margaretkayefeldenkrais #feldenkraismethod #Feldenkrais See more

08.01.2022 Lying or sitting, hand on a roller or a ball. Lift your wrist to roll the ball. The fingers passively shorten and lengthen. Or roll it side to side. #margaretkayefeldenkrais

07.01.2022 Place your hands on your chest and feel the movement of the breath.. feel how your heart can heal. #margaretkayefeldenkrais

05.01.2022 yep. This is funny and yet... how do YOU walk?

05.01.2022 To pick something up, lean forward without bending the spine. The pelvis goes back, and the knees go forward. Keep the spine long as you go up and down. #margaretkayefeldenkrais #feldenkraismethod #feldenkrais

03.01.2022 Sitting: look to the horizon, either in your imagination. Or really. Now travel with your eyes along horizon in one direct or the other. Go slowly so your eyes don’t jump. OR raise one hand and look at you hand as your travel in either direct. Feel how your body assists with turning. Only go to the comfortable place. #margaretkayefeldenkrais
