Alan Questel – What if you knew how to adapt

What if you had a zillion dollars? What if you met the partner of your dreams? What if you could do whatever you wanted to do?

“What ifs” were always the words that were rich in my own fantasy life … until I broke my leg skiing. I quickly discovered a deeper meaning to Moshe Feldenkrais’ famous words: “Movement is life and without movement life is unthinkable.”

What if you couldn’t do what you wanted? What if you were constrained in some unexpected way? What if your movement choices were diminished? And … WHAT IF YOU KNEW HOW TO ADAPT?

In this audio program, utilizing Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement^® lessons, you will discover how you can adapt, adjust and transform the difficult into the easy. You will come to understand how a limitation can be the means to new action. You will realize that the cup that seems half empty is actually half full of new possibilities.
