“I needed an approach that isn’t passive.”
—Frances Fitch,
Organist/harpsichordist, music school faculty
From the outside, a Feldenkrais movement sequence could
be confusable with something you might do with one eye
on a television as you jumpstart your day. But if you
perform with your mind even momentarily on hold, you’re
not doing Feldenkrais. It is the opposite of rote learning.
A first ‘assignment’ I suggest for my students
is to see what it feels like brushing your teeth with
the opposite hand. Tuning in to sensations while doing
nonhabitual movements wakes up parts of the brain you’re
not used to traveling through and frees you to start
charting new tracks in the snow.
