(More customer reviews)The lessons in this book are easy to do and can bring great relief, if you are suffering from back pain, as I do.
The few photographs in the book can be helpful if you are not sure how to interpret the written instructions.
In gnerenal, however, this book has two major flaws:
1. it should not be a book, but an audio instruction; that is how "awareness through movement" is typically taught.
There is no way a normal human being could memorize all the instructions of a single lesson and then "just do it".
To interrupt your lession to take a look at the book is not a good alternative. It would also interrupt the flow of your awareness and overall body experience.
So, what I did is I recorded the session in MP3 format. Something, I shouldn't have to do. The book should come with a CD or MP3 downloads.
2. There is no way you can do these lessons properly unless you have had a few sessions of Feldenkrais "Awareness Through Movement" with a good instructor. A good instructor would guide you to do everthing with less effort and more awareness. If you come from a "no pain, no gain" mindset, there is no way you could adjust to this different way of doing lessons without guidance.
If you have taken those two hurdles you are in for some great body experience. I have been doing these lessons for the last 3 or 4 weeks and I am looking forward to doing them every morning.
