This episode presents my interview with Kelly Cordes of Central Minnesota's WJON radio station. I talk to with her about what is the Feldenkrais Method, it's benefits and what does taking a class look like.
I was connected with Kelly because I have been teaching at the Whitney Senior Center in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Seniors are in a particularly open to the Feldenkrais Method because it is so accessible for people -- it doesn't require beginners to be strong, agile, or flexible. The Feldenkrais process helps everyone improve regardless of their starting point.
As we age, the poor habits of moving and thinking catch up with us and lead to wear and tear and aches and pains. Life doesn't have to be a downward slope. We can learn at any age to have more effective and efficient movement which means we can become more graceful, creative and strong.
You will be surprised by what you can do!
In this episode you will hear:
- The Feldenkrais's emphasis on questions over force (we don't try to fix ourselves).
- The phrase you can't teach an old dog new tricks is incorrect!
- Listen to your body while it's quiet, before it yells at you with aches and pains.
- How we wall off our potential growth through our negative beliefs.
- What is an Awareness through Method® group class like?
- Jeffrey's recommendation to give this work a fair trial (try 6-10 lessons to see if it works for you).
- Jeffrey's personal story and questions that led him to the Feldenkrais Method.
