THE SUNDAY FELDENKRAIS SERIES
with Donna Eschelman

The fifty Year effect yet?! Feldenkrais catching on article!

Bucky Fuller once studied the rate of new innovations spreading thru a society and found the average was 50 years?! (citation?). Moshe came to the US around 1971 and published his first book of ATM's (Lessons) in 1972. So we're only 36 years onlong!
Arthur C. Clarke in his Farewell video to HumanKind (last Dec. 07) says that now 1/2 of Humanity has Cell Phones! And it took only 25 years...I saw thefirst demo of a cell phone the other day..it was 35 years ago. That is 3+ billion people have
adopted the cell phone!

Awareness through movement

Sometimes Feldenkrais classes are sneaky: they pose as courses on pain-free horseback riding, better running, a way to improve yoga form. Generic Feldenkrais classes are often called "Awareness through Movement" instead.

"Because Feldenkrais is such a strange-sounding word, people think that it's a religion, or a cult," said Marjorie Levine, an occupational therapist in Southfield who leads an introduction to Feldenkrais for gardeners. "It's marketing."

Sandy Hubar, a 54-year-old nurse and dedicated student of Myers', first got into Feldenkrais by taking a class on ways to improve her running and walking.

"The first class I went to, it was really bizarre to me," she said. "I was lying on the floor, making small movements that made absolutely no sense. I sat up -- and my posture was a lot better. It doesn't make sense that it's going to work. But as you get used to it, you know what's going to happen.

"I wanted to walk better. I had no idea that my posture or whole body movements would change."

It's helped her swing dancing, horseback riding, walking and sailing, she said.

"It feels really good. You feel really relaxed afterwards -- you sleep really well," Hubar said. "I love yoga. Yoga's hard. This is sooo easy."

Small, gentle movements

Ben-Gurion's personal trainer
He was the first Jew to get a black belt in judo. He invented an internationally popular form of exercise, and he taught an aging prime minister to stand on his head. But Moshe Feldenkrais, whose centennial is being celebrated this summer, was not an easy person. His "disciples" recall his idiosyncrasies - and his genius.

By Aviva Lori

Eshkol: "He was very beautiful and peaceful. I was with him the whole night. I lay on the floor next to him and that's how I said good-bye to him because I don't like funerals. He wanted very badly not to die. He wasn't prepared to die until he knew the secret of gravity. When he was sick, in his last days, he was treated by a regular physiotherapist from the hospital, there was no Feldenkrais. I love him and miss him very much. He was a nice schlepper. He really wanted to have a school in Israel, but they didn't make him one."
