Thank you, Ellen.
I had a Feldenkrais lesson yesterday with practitioner extraordinaire, Ellen Soloway. What a gift.
Working through my feet, Ellen connected my bones until I could feel the lowest depths of the whiplash. There it was, nestled between my shoulder blades, wrestling my spine into a subtle but uncomfortable torque each time I tried to sit, stand, turn. As she worked her magic, I felt the tension ease and the shape of my back begin to change.
At the end of the lesson I sat, shoulder blades relaxed and back, spine erect, the way nature intended. I had found my way home.
Will it last? I don't know. For today, the comfort is still there. It may require a few more lessons to sustain. That's an investment I'm willing to make.
