Over his lifetime, Dr. Feldenkrais created over a thousand varied and fascinating Awareness Through Movement lessons. Some of the lessons developed by Dr Feldenkrais are extremely dynamic and challenging and rarely taught. This new audio recording from David Zemach-Bersin was digitally recorded during two workshops at the Feldenkrais Institute of New York and contains 13 highly unusual and interesting Awareness Through Movement lessons. Many of the lessons in this set are not to be found in the Alexander Yani transcripts. Some of them are from special Friday afternoon classes for teachers that Dr. Feldenkrais taught at Alexander Yani, which David attended. One such incredible lesson, titled by Dr. Feldenkrais himself as ‰ÛÏKill Them or Cure Them‰۝ closes out this rich new resource for Awareness Through Movement.
