Footboard follow-up

Last weekend I followed up with the folks enrolled in THE ARTIFICIAL FLOOR that Feldenkrais Institute of Vienna sponsored. We had already met for a five-day online advanced training last year; we got together again — a month or so later — to review the lesson, address the questions that had come up, refine the participant’s understanding, and create stepping stones for continued learning. 

We started with the participants sharing their experiences. Then I gathered the top questions, some of which I answered directly and others I responded to indirectly, through the activities they engaged in during the review sessions. The curriculum included a live FI demo, a combined ATM/guided FI about improving self-use “behind the board,” and an excerpt from an ARTIFICIAL FLOOR demo in the Boston MASTERING THE METHOD program a couple of years back.

I showed this part of the video because Deborah Lotus, a graduate of Moshe’s San Francisco training program, was kind enough to offer her wisdom to what I was teaching. In terms of historical context and personal experience, her contributions provided depth to the lesson that I couldn’t have offered alone. Rather than reporting what she said, thanks to June LaPointe, who’d filmed the session, I could let Deborah speak for herself.
