TRY THIS SUN SALUTATION OF AWARENESS (MBSR, MINDFULNESS) | Feldenkrais with Alfons

Yoga websites list a multitude of benefits for the Sun Salutation, just for example (or google yourself, if you can't believe it, either): Strengthens the entire digestive system (including stomach, pancreas, intestines, liver, etc.) and cures, and prevents constipation. Invigorates the heart and will cure and prevent blood pressure, palpitation. Develops the lungs, gives you wind and prevents tuberculosis. Will remove kidney troubles. Makes you immune from disease by tremendously increasing your disease-resisting power. Will keep you away from sins. Helps lose weight. Gives glowing skin. Ensures regular menstrual cycle. Brings down blood sugar levels.

While I cannot promise these benefits (as I am a down to earth person with a science degree), I can promise you deep insights into the flexion-extension cycles that make up the sun salutation. You will be able to perform these way more profoundly than any other yoga guru, and you will feel yourself better, YOU will feel better. I also hope to arouse your curiosity in experimenting with these positions.

Somatic education is a field within bodywork and movement studies which emphasizes internal physical perception and experience. The term is used in movement therapy to signify approaches based on the soma, or "the body as perceived from within," including Alexander technique, the Feldenkrais Method, and Rolfing. In dance, the term refers to techniques based on the dancer's internal sensation, in contrast with "performative techniques".

This is my series of videos with beginner lessons of the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education. This will give everyone with an Internet connection the chance to get to know the Feldenkrais Method, to learn more about awareness, mindfulness, how to take care of one's own health, and to become better day by day.

I recommend to work through the videos one by one, in the correct order, starting here:    • GETTING BETTER DAY BY DAY: INTRODUCTI...

I listed Picasso just in case, so that really everyone will be able to recognize someone in this list. I was thinking about Picasso's dove of peace :-)
