elib.tech Exclusive… sharing elsewhere will result in a bann!In 1981 Moshe Feldenkrais taught a series of four outstanding public workshops, sponsored by the Quest organization. Feldenkrais Resources is very pleased to announce the republishing of the five-day New York workshop. The Quest series were his last public workshops, and are an important part of Feldenkrais’ legacy, representing the apex of his creative output, and the height of his public teaching. Each workshop contains original ATM lessons which do not exist anywhere else and demonstrate how Feldenkrais’ thinking and teaching evolved. He is at the very top of his game, full of excitement and inspiration. The depth and originality of his ATM teaching and the lucidity of his explanations are remarkable, and a significant departure from how he has taught before.Friday Evening   a) Introduction   b) Instruction    Finding lightness and ease in the arms and in yourself: Rolling with interlace   hands    on the back    Rolling interlaced hands continued: coming to standSaturday    Lifting the head on the back: simple flexion, one side in imagination    Rolling from sitting to lying and back again    The bell hand: soft opening and closing movements of the handsSunday    Perfecting the self image: tilting the legs and lengthening the spine on the belly    Rolling from sitting to lying on the back continued, including taking the legs over the shoulders    Discussion: Habits.
