Feldenkrais Principle Of Slowing Down Applied To Daily Life
 

In Feldenkrais movements lessons, we do movements very slowly for several reasons. But this principle of "slowing down" is also very important in daily life. This short (7-minute) video helps you get a very clear picture of the benefits of slowing down and staying in the present moment . . . in your daily life. This video also helps you to get a very clear picture of what you are doing to yourself, unknowingly, when you don't slow down.

With the added stress of the pandemic, doing Feldenkrais Movement Lessons . . . and slowing down, in daily life, is more important than ever.
