This nerve divides into many smaller branches. The same nerve that innervates the hamstring muscles also innervates…

What in the world?

As a very human Feldenkrais practitioner I’m always blown away by the things I learn every day. Being a very natural learner, my questions about life & living teach me constantly. I’ve been enjoying many online fitness classes & getting into excellent shape, but why would I do that when everyone else my age is…

Deep in the woods

Merry Christmas 2022 to all. I'm putting on my boots, grabbing my trekking poles, heading up the trail. Miss Nomer trail to be exact. It's a mountain biking & hiking trail of the finest caliber.

How do you get motivated to start developing your fitness? Or to take it to a higher level? On a very sensuously deep level we’re only motivated by those things we’re truly interested in.

I’m coming back! Unbelievable!

You guys, I can't believe it, this crazy year. I'm so happy to be back here talking with you all. I'm posting this for anyone who may need to hear this & that it can be of help. So, in May I fractured my elbow when I didn't "land the jump". I desperately found a…

Share this:

Arms behind the back. It was just what I needed today. My thumb has been "talking" to me, telling me it needed support. But, from where? As I began the movement sequence I very quickly discovered my ribs in a new light in reference to my neck, collar bones, shoulder blades. Genius indeed. By the…

Autumn/All Eyes on Fall

Photo by Artem Saranin on Pexels.com Tomorrow at 12:21 PDT begins our Autumnal Equinox here in the Northwest. We won't have a live class tomorrow at noon as mom & I will be headed toward the coast to an opthamologist. A movement exploration centered on either "Fall" or "Eyes" might be appropriate.

The Earth Receives Your Embrace

Dr. Ida Rolf described the role of the psoas in walking: "Let us be clear about this: the legs do not originate movement in the walk of a balanced body; the legs support and follow. Movement is inititated in the trunk & transmitted to the legs through the medium of the psoas." What this says…
