These exercises are ones I ‘discovered’ by listening to my body while using the Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement approach meditating and exercising alone. They come out of my work with the Feldenkrais method and callanetics.
They always use an approach that takes time is gentle and slow. The aim is to be internally aware of the body paying attention to how it feels at single points if possible. This is a skill to aim to develop.
Pulsing movement is frequently used. This comes from Callanetics. It is a tiny repetitive rhythmic movement about 2 millimetres each way.
The aim is always to avoid pain to use pain as a warning of going in the wrong direction and to use effortlessness and grace as an indication of the right direction to go in. Pain should be backed off from not pushed into.
