How exciting and difficult lesson I had this morning! I would like to only repeat this until my body learns, it means to me my body can follow you smooth and comfortable. I will try. Yesterday I had enough time to try those three newer lessons, very lovely for the whole body from top to bottom. It is a challenging year.
Good morning Satsuko! It's a very good idea to repeat lessons. Each time I do this I discover new things. Thank you very much for your message.
I have trauma/injuries in my right ankle and left knee that make it really hard to find movements that fully engage the muscles of my ankles and knees. While I found this lesson very challenging, especially when one leg was straight while 'painting' with other foot, it woke up a lot of awareness in my legs that I hadn't found in any other movement. Thanks so much. I'm going to be doing this one for a while as I really process the new awareness these movements bring.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment Hannah. I use a variation of this lesson too for students who have had hip or knee replacement surgery. It's such a good lesson for 'waking' up healthy movement patterns.
Thank you so much for your valuable information. I have learnt so much from your clear instructions.Greetings from Australia.
Thank you very much Kaye, that's very kind of you to say so.
I tried this lesson yesterday morning. It was very difficult. I repeated in the evening, yesterday and this morning I started with this again. As I repeat the lesson, I’m getting more English and better painting on the floor but impossible on the ceiling. I feel my life is happier and smoother.
Thank you Satsuko. I have been teaching a lot of foot related lessons this past month and this is one of my favourites.
Thank you! Another amazing lesson. My feet are warm and alive! In both this and the Happy Hips 1 lessons I got what feels like a chiropractic adjustment at the top of the left side of the posterior pelvis… a series of little pops. Which is exactly where I am stiff in the mornings. Feels so good!
Sounds a wonderful experience Terry. I am so glad the lesson helped.
Thanks so much. I did this after a walk . . . couldn't believe the cramp in my feet and calves . . . had to stop and pause a bit . . . but I did finally manage to keep a light pamphlet on my foot :-). Love your videos.
Thank you very much Sheila
So love your classes....the best I've found on you tube. Thank you again.
The last one week I repeated mainly no.1 and several parts of no. 2. I notice that the body changes daily, even such a small thing is a new experience with me. Many words to be checked. In this way, very slowly, I am learning your teaching every day. This morning I enjoyed both 1 and 2. I feel good. Thank you.
You are very welcome Satsuko. Thank you for sharing your progress.
What a marvelous lesson! I enjoyed it very much! And I found a wonderful way to slow it down... by using the playback speed options, slowed it down to 0.75x :). Delightful!
@@arpita3727 Thanks so much Arpita. I do the same with Spanish language videos to help me learn the language 😊
Hello! lovely lesson and a nice follow up from the first one.thank you, great classes always
Thank you very much Dar 😊
Started doing your exercises again much improved movements thank you
You are welcome Dianne, thank you.
I felt for the first time, every single movement gives effect to the whole body! Language understanding gives me sensitiveness to the body. What a nice feeling from your teaching I receive! Thank you, Stewart.
That's absolutely right Satsuko. Every movement is a whole body event 😊
Great series. I like the tempo and the length, just right. Part 3 tomorrow.
Thank you very much Leneke 🙏🏼
To get or to help others more comfortable and less pain we are looking for a better solution. I enjoyed a complicated and sensitive lesson this morning. I find something different each time. So many movements, from head skin to fingertips and toes. Such an art!
Thank you very much for your message. Your body, talking and message, all together help me to learn Feldenkrais on RUclips. I feel this morning is different from yesterday, I think this is because of my body understands how important using teachings I have learnt. Every basic teachings work to do new lesson easier. I noticed this morning clearly. I like to tell you exactly what I want to, I have to be more clever in English. It takes time.
Still working with you in my 7th week ,thanks a lot
Wow, that is great Dianne.
Amazing, ny left side, shoulder to the hip is clicky and uncomfortable at times, and after this lesson the final left hip movement was smooth 🎉❤
Thank you again Poczytam. I love all the lessons in the Happy Hips series 🙏😊
Your voice is so relaxing! Thank you for doing these videos.
Thank you Shyama. I have one student who uses me to help him go to sleep!
Hi Stewart, I have been doing plenty of your classes the last year and I love them! Thank you so much! the accuracy and the precision in you explanations helps my body to explore and it does magic with releasing tension. This class was particularly good for improving my handstand, I have worked alot on my handstand and this really gave me a greater sens of stability in my hips. Amnd I was able to hold it much longer then I usually do, it even made me able to create shapes with my legs, going from tucked position to straight legs and alternating between right and left. I also really enjoyed the balancing object on my foot to discover how ankle can work, I can play around with that for hours 🙂
That is so wonderful to hear Lina, thank you so much for taking the time to share your progress.
Thank you so much, Stewart. I am revisiting this series. This time I had a bit of a strain in my thigh muscles but this lesson helped a lot. It is so soothing, I can feel I get into a meditative state when I do these movements.
Thank you Marcanello. Its amazing what new things you can find in a lesson on a 2nd. 3rd or more visit! Have a lovely weekend.
This lesson had a wonderful bonus effect for me - free, easy shoulders during my long walk.
Great to feel that as you are walking Linder. Thank you.
Another lovely lesson. I enjoy your teaching style very much :)
Thank you 😊
Great stuff! I've recommended your channel to friends! One of them said your shoulder videos have helped a ton!
Thanks so much Michelle, that's super kind 🙏
@@stewarthamblin My husband finally tried one for his shoulders too! Yay! You are helping the world!
That's wonderful to hear Michelle ❤
Thank you
Thank you ✌️
Thanks
I love this! 3 weeks ago I wore the wrong shoes on a muddy hike and sprained an ankle. There’s hope for getting over it even faster now!
Thank you Natala, its a great lesson for ankles!
wonderful💙💙
Thanks a lot!
You are very welcome 🙏
@@stewarthamblin I was making the hip release exercises as our job is to walk for thousands of kilometers every year and I’ve noticed that hips are becoming stiff! Really enjoyed the clarity of explanation given and a good vibe!
@@caminotellers Thank you so much. I really enjoyed looking at your channel too. Makes me want to come.
lovely lesson. Thank you Stewart. I'm going to teach it to my U3A class in Muswell Hill this morning. Best wishes Alex Frazier
Thank you Alex. I think that it's a great lesson also to do sitting in a chair. Lovely to hear from you x
While I understood much less English, I checked words beforehand and stared videos carefully. As I understand more English, the head orders movements, at the same time I follow your movements. Rhythmical movements changed into confusing! Two different ways to movements! I would like to do the lesson tomorrow again. Interesting!
Am so glad you are enjoying the lesson Satusko!
love it, happy feet& clear articulation.🌹
Thank you, I loved this lesson. Couldn't hold a book on my foot, though! =)
It was a big difference between my left and right foot when balancing a book. It was so much harder on my left foot. I know that it has been more stiff than the right and it was very clear now. First, I almost couldn’t balance the book at all, but it got better when I had trained some times.
Muito obrigado pela aula!!!
Dear Stewart, I watched your lesson today and I enjoyed very much. I prescribed to your channel but I wonder if you have programs of lessons that I can follow in order to master as much of Feldinkrass method as possible.

Hi Imad, thank you very much for your message. The Happy Hips series are numbered 1 to 10. That would be a good place to start. I also have courses on my two websites www.stewarthamblin.co.uk and www.fitsitclasses.com. In addition to those resources I have written two books which take the beginner student through a series of sequenced lessons which I know many people have found helpful. If you haven't tried them yet, I would also suggest that you explore the Fit Sit stick videos 🙂🙏 I wish you all the best as you embark on your Feldenkrais journey
Very interesting, I noticed this time around that my toes on my right leg do not touch the floor, only the big toe does, while in my left foot, all toes touched the floor.
Does that mean I have an issue on my right foot?.
Thank you, Stewart.✌️
Hi Luyz, I am not sure but it does mean that you have a puzzle to solve! 🙂🙏🏼
@@stewarthamblin 👍
As I try this I find this more difficult. To make “Quality of circle “requires more understanding and repetition. These several days I did some parts of your teachings I had before. This morning I painted zigzag circles. How sensitive movements I am learning here!
Hi Satsuko, this is a great lesson for the feet and ankles and the mind! Having flexible, adaptable feet is so important as we all get older because they help with balance. I am glad you are enjoying the challenge 🙂
