The Anti-Gravity Lesson

Listed by the publisher as “The Anti-Gravity Lesson - Feldenkrais Project”

The instructor guides an exploration of vertical force by pushing and pulling from the feet while lying on the floor. Students investigate how this skeletal force travels through the spine to the head in various positions, including on the back, on the side, and on the belly, while coordinating specific breathing patterns to soften the torso.
