    Attention to the Middle: The Golden Ball Lesson

    Send me a text! What did you think of class? Episode 110: Today we take a Feldenkrais approach to directing our attention. This episode is the intro lesson to the new series The Focused Body: Attention Practices Through Feldenkrais where we will directly use subtle movements to strengthen our capacity for sustained concentration.  You will learn to deliberately shift your focus from narrow sensory detail to wide spatial awareness. By using your body as a reliable anchor, you will cultivate the quieter attention that empowers you to choose intention over impulse in daily life.  So in today’s episode, you will first hear a short introduction about how to approach working with your attention, and after that will be a 60 minute Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson.  If you resonate with TODAY’s approach, you may be interested in the Feldenkrais course The Focused Body.  Sarah Baumert has been teaching movement since 2006. She is a certified yoga teacher, yoga therapist and Feldenkrais® practitioner. This podcast is an intersection of her yoga teaching and training in the Feldenkrais® method. Classes include sensory rich movement experiences for a more resilient and healthy nervous system to help you feel a greater sense of ease and comfort in yourself.

    Freeing Your Neck From Behind- Feldenkrais

    Send me a text! What did you think of class? Episode 108: Today’s class is a short Feldenkrais lesson that will be done lying on the back. This simple, but effective lesson, creates a sense of wholeness and connection from your feet to your head.  This lesson is from the Feldenkrais Mini Lessons course that can be purchased. This self paced course has 16 mini lessons ranging from 15- 30 minutes. The lessons in this course are there for you when you need a shift or interruption of your current state, but don’t have an hour to spare. I like to think of them as more than a 5 minute movement snack, but also not the whole buffet. Just the right nourishment.  Sarah Baumert has been teaching movement since 2006.

    Welcoming Your Body Into the New Year: A Meditation

    Send me a text! What did you think of class? Episode 106: Today’s class is a short meditation that can be done lying down in savasana or sitting upright.  Our inquiry of study during this meditation was inspired by two of my most influential teachers, Insight Meditation teacher Mark Nunberg and Feldenkrais trainer Jeff Haller.  You won’t need anything for this class, except a cushion or blanket to sit on, or if you choose to lie down, please have any props you will need if you choose to do the meditation lying down.

    Weighted Breathing

    Send me a text! What did you think of class? Episode 104: Today’s class is a short breath awareness meditation done in savasana with a weight placed on the belly. You will need something heavy that you can place on your abdomen. If you have a yoga sandbag, this works great. Most people don’t have that, so I suggest finding one or two very thick books. A thick textbook could work well. If you are using a book, then you will also want to have a blanket or a towel that you can place underneath the book, so that the weight is not hard or pressing into any part of you in an uncomfortable way.

    Covering the Eyes - Feldenkrais

    Send me a text! What did you think of class? Episode 103: Today’s class is focused on calming the eyes. This class is similar to Episode 56, but I wanted to re record and re-teach the class, as it has been a popular episode and I wanted to get a higher quality audio version of it for you. In this short Feldenkrais lesson, the eyes, their state of calm, and the quality of our dark vision becomes a marker of the overall state of the nervous system. When one’s visual stimulation calms down, it can have a relaxing effect on the neck, jaw, breathing, face and more. And as a result, your whole self will settle down, get quiet and the sharpness of your vision can increase. So, let's see how we can organize our vision to make the orientation clear and smooth, so that the muscle tone in the whole body can become organized and engaged to do a function well. If you enjoy this lesson, you may consider joining the Feldenkrais Series: Being Good to Yourself: Caring for your Neck, Shoulders, Eyes, & Breath In 8 lessons we explore how important the eyes are for organizing the rest of the body.
