I told Ruthy that my foot just knew how to get me into the shower. She called it "Sliding Foot." I attribute this autonomous knowing to how we get our hands to the wall or extended above our heads; through a safe trajectory in contact with ourselves. This makes it easy to arrive and restores any tension when "returning home."
Amazing how such gentle and simple contact serves to guide and support the nervous system.
Since 2001 I have worked closely with Ruthy Alon, internationally recognized Educator/Trainer of the Feldenkrais Method, author and creator of the Bones for Life® program. I am also a founding board member of the the Foundation for Movement Intelligence where I serve as VP and acting treasurer. I am a certified Bones for Life Trainer and Feldenkrais practitioner. I currently travel and teach "immersion style" programs to the public and for teacher certification.
The intention of this blog is to share the brilliance of the Bones for Life® program as an efficient bed-rest protocol for orthopedic rehabilitation.
