Feldenkrais Method Worksheet

Focus on Breathing

Lie on your back with your knees bent. Spend a few moments focusing on your breath. How does your abdomen move as you breathe?

Pelvic Tilt

Continue lying on your back. Gently tilt your pelvis towards your head, then away from it. Notice the small adjustments in your lower back.

Head Turning

Remain on your back. Slowly turn your head to one side and then to the other. Pay attention to the ease of movement. Does one side feel more restricted?

Arm and Shoulder Movements

Lift your arms toward the ceiling. Gently rotate them, first in one direction, then the other. What sensations do you notice in your shoulders?

Knee Slides

Slide one knee at a time towards your chest, allowing your foot to slide along the surface. Observe how this movement affects your hip and lower back area.

Relaxation

Conclude your session by lying quietly. What differences do you feel in your body compared to before the session?
