Feldenkrais Lessons Vol I Awareness Through Movement – Bruce Holmes

After years of people asking for the lessons to be made available again, it’s happened.

 

We’ve converted the 48 lessons of volumes I and II to mp3 files and loaded what once filled 24 cassettes onto a single CD.

 

The CD can ONLY be played on computers, DVD players, or the most recent generation of CD players designed to be compatible with “Jukebox” CDs.

 

(Sorry about that, but if we’d used the music CD format it would have required at least 24 CDs.)

 

And, of course, if neither option appeals to you, you can always copy the files into any mp3 player and play them that way.

 

But the good part is we’re dropping the price from $176 down to $40.

 

Shipping in the USA is $3, foreign is $6.

 

If you’d rather send me a check, the Store page has our address.

 

If you’ll scroll down the page you’ll find a ton of quotes from people who’ve used the lessons.

 

Testimonials: “…The voice is soothing, gentle, confidence-inspiring.

 

It belongs to Bruce Holmes, a practitioner and teacher of Feldenkrais’s work.

 

This bit of explanation is part of a cassette tape, which is part of a series, now in two volumes of 24 cassettes each, that is the best teaching aid we’ve heard or seen yet.

 

The lessons were recorded during actual workshops that Bruce Holmes taught, and you can hear his easy interaction with the students;

 

how he involves them in the dialogue with their own bodies; how he encourages them gently and corrects them softly; how he unselfconsciously slips occasionally or changes his mind; and how the entire class sometimes disolves into laughter.

 

Bruce Holmes must be fun to learn from.

 

”The Stroking Times”I’ve been doing your tapes almost daily since Feb.

 

and all I can say is a thousand thank-yous.

 

I really, at age 53, have a brand new body! It has been just what I needed so badly and had been searching for.

 

I had been getting so stiff and tired and sore, even with exercise, and healthy eating, etc.

 

I knew I didn’t move right, but didn’t know how to change.And now every moment is a joy.

 

It is fluid and graceful and effortless to go through daily life.

 

Some of the specific changes are: my back- it always bothered me about 2/3 up, a lot of pain and tension.

 

Chiropractors helped, but it never lasted.

 

It was always sore to the touch and a couple of vertebrae stuck out.

 

Now it is completely strong and comfortable, no matter what I do, and feels so good! A miracle.

 

All my life my knees have cracked whenever i squatted down- now very rarely.

 

I had a chronically sore shoulder-now almost perfect.

 

I had a large callous on the ball of one foot that was really starting to bother me-it’s almost gone.

 

I feel so flexible and limber now.

 

Sometimes in the middle of a tape I feel such a wave of gratitude to Dr. Feldenkrais and his genius, and for what he has given me and the thousands of others he has helped.

 

Thanks so much for your tapes and part in all this help!

I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed and benefitted from the Feldenkrais tapes.

 

You did a beautiful job on them.

 

I have done the whole set twice now, in the less than a month since I’ve gotten them, and the more I do the deeper my appreciation for Moshe, for you, for life.

 

I did yoga for fifteen years, and taught it for ten.

 

I am trained in a variety of approaches to body therapy including creative movement, sacred dance, bio-energetics, Lomi Body-Work, and polarity, and I have had a provate practice in psychophysical therapy for ten years.

 

I mention all that to give weight to my feeling that your tapes are fantastic, wonderful, superb, magnificent, and fun.”John Robbins, Victoria, Canada”This is the first
