I took a Feldenkrais class on Zoom
this morning Moshe Feldenkrais an Israeli
engineer figured out a system to move
I’ve taken many Feldenkrais classes largely because
a friend described his method to me
years ago as Yoga for Lazy Jews an appealing
description and this morning Marilyn the teacher
who calls him Moshe although she didn’t know him
Marilyn gave us a Moshe dictum: if you are lying
on the floor don’t ever move your leg
higher than 18 inches. I won’t.
i love feldenkrais! i started taking a class in NYC in 2009 and then when i moved to Maine, took it for years with a wonderful practitioner. now i do yoga... but my heart belongs to Moshe.
I have been a Feldenkrais adherent for 25 years. I do Feldenkrais via Zoom 3x/week. Keeps this older body moving, upright, and feeling great. My Feldenkrais practitioner also refers to Moshe as "Mo-Shay". I haven't the heart to tell her she's pronouncing his name "wrong"!
