thank you so much Ido for giving the Feldenkrais Method some exposure. I like this lesson very much. one quote by Moshe Feldenkrais that fits this lesson and your cool thumbnail: „Get comfortable in your misery“😄
To the people asking what lengthening the elbow means: He is sliding his elbow on the floor in a kind of diagonal direction. the movement goes away from the body and down towards the feet. Hope this helps😊 Happy Feldenkrais practice to everyone!
what you are describing is actually correct👍🏻 the elbow will apply pressure to the ground. if you press it down the shoulder will lift and that is also kind of lengthening. if you think of sliding the elbow away, pressure to the floor will also be applied and this will move your shoulder a bit differently. that‘s the beauty of Feldenkrais. you add variations or you change your thinking process behind a movement and you experience new qualities😊
Ido, thank you so much for sharing the work of Moshe Feldenkrais and all your knowledge and experience with many people! You have inspired many people, myself included. Thank you for all you do!!
The recent videos with the instructions are so easy to relate with compared to all the one arm pull etc and one are hand stands, thank you again for the input and progressions in the contents you share along the years
Thanks , I feel that doing this my nervous system realeses its "fear" of the backpain and in consequence all my spine and things around it soften and relax
Look into Annie O’Connor, she wrote a book on pain mechanisms called “a world of hurt” where she explains things like the fear/ avoidance mechanism. Her work is amazing, and aligns with idos a lot. Basically if you have inner peace and practice the ido portal method or even just his philosophy, you’re doing enough to tic all the pain free lifestyle boxes
when i first laid down i had pain and a lot of tension around tail bone and lower back, but as we preoceded it disappered, just like that...i loved it, though i still had a lot of tension around my neck, will try next time with more awareness, your videos have been most valuable in my journey to develop a pain free and strong body
What a way to start my Friday morning with this! Thanks a lot, Ido! 🙏 I did it twice in a row, it was so much relief. I couldn't believe how much easier was my body just after the first round. I still have to adjust to the shoulder mobility. Gonna do it every day.
Thank you. I am grateful for your last videos. Informative and can be done even by non trained people. Please keep sharing people need this more than ever.
Ido! This method helped me immediately and I can feel already the benefit coming daily as I practice this simple, but amazingly complex movement. Your work and ethos continues to blast through so much sad resignation I’ve had about whether I can be comfortable and alive in my own body. Thank you for staying true to what you know is correct.
Neuroplasticity!!!!! Thank you for this exercise and for helping everyone understand yours and Moshe Feldenkrais's methods even better. My young daughter is working to be able to walk up stairs again. I understand how this will help the brain relearn under many circumstances for improving movement and relieving pain. My 19 year old elite athlete suddenly in wheelchair and now running and working on climbing stairs again and a life of "improving"!!! Anyone in need, please look up Dr. Keiser in Michigan also regarding physical recovery from injury, concussions and FND. Thank you!!! Prayers and gratefulness. You're awesome Ido Portal!!!!!
I felt my lower back progressively flatten out against the ground as I went through the pattern of movement. During the disassociative work my QL seemed to release and relax and my tailbone seemed to rotate forward.
Ido, what do you mean by 'lengthen through the right/left elbow'? Are you pushing the elbow away/into the ground, as if pulling the end of the elbow apart from the tip of the nose?
as you can see in the video he is sliding the elbow on the floor in the direction of his feet (it‘s kind of a diagonal movement. so the elbow slides away and down). the movement is quite small and subtle which is typical in Feldenkrais. Hope this helps
you can see in the video he is sliding the elbow on the floor in the direction of his feet (it‘s kind of a diagonal movement. so the elbow slides away and down). the movement is quite small and subtle which is typical in Feldenkrais. the hands stay under the back. Hope this helps
thank you🙏🌷 my elbows heart on this exerciss so i find myself concentraited all the time on it and also shoulders a bit. is there any adjustment i can do ?
I have a lot of Shoulder Pain and chronic problems so i cant even get close to putting my hand under my body without pain ... Is there an even easier variant of this if you are injured or super tight?
Dear Malte, you can make the exercise easier by only putting one hand under your back. it doesn‘t have to be in the middle of your low back. it could also be more on the side of the back. if it is still painful you can put the hand under your buttock. this should reduce the discomfort even more. I hope this helps. just to mention this lesson is an intermediate Feldenkrais lesson. there are easier ones to reduce shoulder pain, that you could practice first. Regards, Jakob
Ido - nice rendition of this classic Feldenkrais movement lesson, as a 30 yr. practitioner and teacher of Feldenkrais Neuromuscular training , I’m a big fan of “short-form” Feldenkrais as a great gateway into this wonderful method of self-improvement, growth and development. This is a great start in learning to be aware of how you are resisting to begin with and what are the features of your body and how you’ve organized the resistances deep in tonic core musculature through habits that you’re unaware of. Habits deep in the trunk, habits deep in the spine, and habits between your ears basically ;) Everyone dreams of strength -that we will be able to do things easier. Strength is a dream that we will be able to accomplish things that are beyond our physical ability, as we know ourselves. Most people fall into the dream of strength and then do things just for strength rather than in fact doing things to move with agility, dexterity and coordination and accomplish what they want. Nothing is more destructive to the joints of the human body and to the skeleton and connective tissues then the dream of strength without a dream of coordination, without a dream of grace and fluidity.

Here’s a great example of “long-form” Feldenkrais done by one of my brilliant colleagues that uses similiar rocking and rolling oscillations to “break-up” existing neuromuscular habits and movement parasites. Enjoy! ruclips.net/video/2HuZg1fpSEM/видео.html
Just to be clear on the intention of these Movement Lessons, you could call this type of intentional, mindful practice a stage of neurodifferentiation, one of the key stages of neuroplastic healing. The Feldenkrais Method Learning principles are: 1. The mind programs the functioning of the brain 2. A brain cannot think without motor function 3. Awareness of movement is the key to improving movement 4. Differentiation - making the smallest possible sensory distinctions between movements - builds brain maps 5. Differentiation is easiest to make when the stimulus is smallest 6. Slowness of movement is the key to awareness, and awareness is the key to learning 7. Reduce the effort whenever possible 8. Errors are essential, and there is no right way to move, only better ways 9. Random movements provide variation that leads to developmental breakthroughs 10. Even the smallest movement in one part of the body involves the entire body 11. Many movement problems, and the pain that goes with them, are caused by learned habit, not by abnormal structure
as you can see in the video he is sliding the elbow on the floor in the direction of his feet (it‘s kind of a diagonal movement. so the elbow slides away and down). the movement is quite small and subtle which is typical in Feldenkrais. Hope this helps
Sure! This kind of process works best when finding a position of ease to begin with. You can always return to full supine position later. You might want to make sure that your head and neck lie with ease, possibly finding a little something to rest your head on, which also helps your lower body to relax. Concerning the hips: try putting your calfs and feet onto a couch or chair. It even can work with simply putting your feet to standing. It’s not the same as proposed by Ido, yet it’s an approximation. Also, each of us has a sweet spot for this oscillation - it’s worth exploring various frequencies and amplitudes. Good luck!
The essence of the work looks very similar to chinese internal martial arts releasing exercises such as Mizners Song Gongs.ruclips.net/video/xokEQf3HdWc/видео.html

Oh interesting, I took it as applying pressure in the elbow and lengthening from there. Will try this way next time!

I find this a tool for helping heal deep
layers of tension and it feels as if I am peeling them away. ❤ thank you Ido
I think this is something that currently I need to try. 🙏gratitude
I always had a feeling that the "Ido Portal method" is Feldenkrais combined with strength and mobility.
spirit of moshe, see you in tel aviv
Out of the box🙌
Great sir...... will try to perform this
Aha Feldenkrais. I like it
I felt my lower back progressively flatten out against the ground as I went through the pattern of movement. During the disassociative work my QL seemed to release and relax and my tailbone seemed to rotate forward.
This is simply added value !
Thank you Ido.
That felt amazing, thank you
Great work Ido thank you
This exercise is in the book of Pleyadians Exercise and is very effective.
Hey, I can't find the book. What is the name exactly and the name of the author?
@@muayad67 thinks its a mistype. Try pleiadians exercise.

@Brian the hands are usually under the low back. so the pelvis can rest and roll on the floor
Well done
calmed and maintained intention to get the oxide flowing
When you lenghten the ellbow does it mean to pull the ellbow out or push it against the floor? Thank you!

Schöne Idee, daraus zaubere ich mir eine ganze Lektion.😅
I tried one thing i noticed is my lower back touched the ground more and more… interesting … do you push with the elbows?
He is sliding the elbows on the floor towards his feet. It's a small kind of diagonal movement that goes away and down. I hope this helps

left with a feeling of an interesting spinish centeredness afterwards or something like that
Wow interesting! I should try this

What does "lengthen through the elbow" mean? I don't get it.
