FFL11: Take the Weight Off Your Shoulders

The shoulder girdle is an elegant, complex and fragile design. It takes the brunt of a lot of our daily activities. Learning how to use your hands and arms with the support of your pelvis, spine and ribs is the only thing that can save you from the myriad of shoulder ailments experienced by so many in our modern environment.

2 workshops for the price of 1!

This download is unusual as it includes two Feldenkrais for LIfe workshops with the same topic. Those who know the Feldenkrais Method^® know that no two lessons are ever taught exactly the same. Here you have the rare opportunity to hear how the same teacher, teaches the same lesson using different language nuances in each venue. With the lessons from these two workshops some are repeated (but not really) and others are different. This is a bargain shopper’s dream!
