I’ve always loved owls. And the way they can swivel their head to see behind them in a moment. It would be very useful in lots of scenarios!
As you probably know, an owl can turn its head 180 degrees because of the double jointed neck.
And we don’t have one of those, which is sad. What we have instead is the ability to look behind using all the turnable vertebrae and lower limbs.
Using all the twisting
To do that, we need to use the whole skeleton in a well co-ordinated way. Not to divide and overuse, but to use all the vertebrae, and the limbs in proportion with their size.
Each position allows for different movements and awareness of yourself. It’s that combination of awareness in movement that can make the difference.
Kinaesthetic Learning
Learning is about noticing differences. As our level goes up, the size of difference that we can notice gets more refined. In a Feldenkrais lesson, you’re learning to feel yourself in space, in motion, internally. Each lesson helps improve both your interoception and proprioception.
