Free Feldenkrais? Why not! I am gathering together many of the free Feldenkrais downloads that I have sent out or posted over the last 10 years or so and also adding many new ones. You can call them Feldenkrais sessions, lessons, or exercises as you choose! Perhaps one or more will be useful to you or someone else in your world?

If you want to go deeper, I have many downloadable series at my Feldenkrais store: Details here.

NEWEST Session November 23rd: Your "Dominant" Hand (lying on the floor)

This is an especially useful session if you have pain or strain in your hand or shoulder or simply want to relax. This session is very gentle, deeply relaxing, and suitable for anyone. The first time that I did it years ago, I nearly cried as I could simply not believe how much strain that I had been carrying around in my fingers without realizing it.

Download: Your Dominant Hand

By the way, the session above takes about 39-minutes, but you do not have to do it all to benefit from it. Just a few minutes can make a big difference.

Surgeon's Hands (sitting)

Here we have a short, gentle session (31-minutes) that you can do sitting in a chair, preferably in front of a desk where you can rest your elbows from time-to-time. Near the end of the session, I will ask you to touch your hand to your eyelids. You may want to wash your hands first or skip that part if you would rather not touch your face.

Gentle Shoulder Circles (on side)

It is a relatively short (31-minutes) and very gentle session done while lying on your side. It is from my Feldenkrais Pain Relief Series. It is called, "Shoulder Circles" and is awesome for reducing strain and pain in the shoulder and neck area:

II. Feldenkrais Sessions Done While Lying Down

1. "Breathing In All Directions" [deeply relaxing]

A short (26-minute) but very potent session called, "to weld by breathing" and also called "breathing in all directions." Probably the session that has gotten the most positive feedback over the years. It is great for getting rid of stress and anxiety and helping you to relax deeply. Give it a go?

4. Seeing Your Heels [advanced]

I thought this was fun - a 22-second video version of a session based on one of Moshe Feldenkrais's famed Alexander Yanai sessions, called "Seeing the Heels." By Paul Pui Wo Lee a Guild-Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner who works all over the world these days.

And if you would like, below the video is a complete version of the session (34-minutes) by myself, Ryan Nagy.

Remember - the video below is speeded up, when you do the session via my audio go s-l-o-w-l-y and g-e-n-t-l-y. 😀

Click below to play and do Ryan's session based on Alexander Yanai 2: Seeing Your Heels (34 minutes). You will need a place to lie down. Go slow and only do what is comfortable. Do not do any movement that is uncomfortable or painful to you.

5. Rhythmic Tapping: Feldenkrais At Esalen [gentle and relaxing]

It is from volume 2 of my Feldenkrais Classics series, which is based on the Esalen workshop.

III. Feldenkrais Sessions That You Can Do While Standing

There is a tendency to think of Feldenkrais as something that you do while lying down.

But there are many standing Feldenkrais sessions.

And they are fantastic for improving your balance, stability, and ease in walking and standing. If my grandmother had access to Feldenkrais sessions like these, I think she would have stayed active and mobile for years longer than she did.

If you want to try one that can have an immediate positive impact on your walking and balance, just click the link below to play. It will only take you about 27-minutes to do it. And you do not even have to do the whole session to enjoy the benefits.

It is called:

1. "The basis of hopping, part 1,"

and it is based on a session from Moshe's famed "Alexander Yanai" sessions:

Download The Basis of Hopping, Part One.

From my two popular walking series: Walking With Ease, Power, And Grace.

2. Feldenkrais Alexander Yanai #88 Circles In Standing [rest often, a challenging session]

A lovely session that goes way back into Feldenkrais history. I first posted it on January 1st, 2020 but Feldenkrais taught a version in the 1950s! Lower your arms and rest MORE than I ask you to do in the session. If you are short on time, just do the first 15 minutes of this session. No need to lie down! You can start in standing.
