Series II: Intermediate
Rolling Fists
This lesson connects the movement of arms and shoulders with the movement of the pelvis. These movements are the building blocks of higher function, most directly the sport of fencing, but also more primitively the ability to reach.
Extend Your Spine: Lifting Head on the Stomach
The ability to lift the head and extend the spine to look up is a function that habit and age combine to limit our ability. In this lesson you can recover your potential to extend the spine.
What is Good Breathing?
Moshe taught that we breathe differently when happy from when we are stressed, differently when we exercise and when we are at rest. Good breathing means being able to use all of ourselves when we need to, for vitality.
Developmental: Creeping & Crawling
Our development as infants and led through stages of development that culminate in our ability to stand, walk, run, and jump. In this lesson we go back using out awareness to rediscover our earliest patterns of movement.
Chair Lessons: Sitting Twisting
We sit in chairs so much of our lives. In this lesson we explore the ability to twist while sitting, a useful function when, for example, we drive and need to look behind.
Holding the Foot and Rolling
Moshe, in one version he taught, called this lesson “Free your hip joints for agility.”
Elementary Eye Movement
This lesson explores palming over the eyes and directing our attention in a non-habitual way to our eyes and vision.
What is Health? Sitting to Stand, Arm Circles
The ability to get up and down in one motion from floor to standing is explored, using the hand and arm as a proximal pivot point. Then the ability to integrate the arm to the trunk, making arm circles where the arm and hand are the distal points moving.
