Instant download, smartphone/tablet links are included. Transcripts of the sessions are included at no additional cost.

Normally available to only those who have attended and completed a 4-year Feldenkrais training. I am now making my sessions based on these rare and highly-valuable transcripts.

These sessions have been life-changing for me and countless others. I hope they will be for you as well!

Volume One: 6 Sessions with 3 Awesome Bonus Sessions (see below). 

1. Alexander Yanai 1: Tilting The Head (39 minutes)

Originally called "Sitting and Bending The Head" this session has some amazingly unique movements of the head, neck, and spine. It is done while sitting in various positions on the floor.

This is the first session that Moshe recorded at his studio in Israel on Alexander Yanai street. Or at least the first one that he kept. There may have been tapes that he destroyed or recorded over. And to let you know, people actually did come to Moshe's studios and listen to the tapes. He would create a session, edit it and re-record parts and people would listen to the recording, kind of like what you will be doing...but online! And--- Moshe never corrected anyone. He would let them make whatever sense they could out of his instructions and leave it at that. Interesting, no?

2. Alexander Yanai 2: Seeing Your Heels (34 minutes).

Some of this session will seem familiar to those of you who have done my Feldenkrais Classics Volume 1 CD, especially the sessions called "Exploring the Extensors, Part 1 and Part 2". That is interesting, no? Feldenkrais must have thought the movement ideas contained in this session to be important. You will do much of this session on your stomach.

3. Alexander Yanai 3: Roll To Sit Using Your Elbows (57 minutes).

Remember, these are advanced Feldenkrais sessions, right? This session can seem impossible at first - BUT - if you go slow and only do what you can do (without strain or struggle) it can an amazing session.

4. Alexander Yanai 4: Sitting Cross-Legged (47 minutes).

If you have any asymmetry or difference in tension/movement between your right leg and left (especially around the pelvis) this can be a very useful session. It is one of my favorites! As always, go slow and stop if you feel any pain. Feel free to simply START doing this session and do as much (or as little) as you feel

5. Alexander Yanai 5: Equalizing The Nostrils (34 minutes).

I will admit, this is a WEIRD session. And it is rarely taught. But I really like it. Do you breathe out of both nostrils? Do you use both to speak? How clearly? This session will help you answer those questions and give you (potentially) a whole host of benefits. It can help your breathing, improve your speaking and clean out your nasal passages. Have some tissue nearby just in case! Note: You can do this session pretty much however you want - sitting, standing, lying down.

6. Alexander Yanai 6: A Pencil On The Head (47 minutes).

I had to do this session MANY times before I could figure out what Moshe was trying to teach. It involves imagining a pencil or other writing implement on your head and then doing some VERY non-habitual movements with your head and neck. Again: Advanced session. Go slow. Be gentle with yourself.

Some Super, Duper Bonus AY Sessions

I record on average 3-5 Feldenkrais sessions every month, so I have a huge library of materials. Here are some more for you.

7. Alexander Yanai 37: Caressing The Legs (46 minutes).

"Delicious" was how one of my students described this session. The starting position can be challenging. You will be on your back, with your legs bent and over your body (near your stomach) and you will catch your feet with your hands and do some fascinating movements. This is a relatively accessible...but also advanced session - so go slow, be gentle, and only do what you can do. One of my favorite sessions, it can lead to some amazing changes in your back and spine.

8. Alexander Yanai 61: Legs And Arms In Circles (45 minutes).

Here is yet another wonderful "Alexander Yanai" bonus session. And one that can be done by a wide variety of people. It involves being on the back and having the hands above the head and on the floor (or you could say on the floor above the head). If you can do that comfortably you can do this session.

9. Alexander Yanai 111 Painting the Floor With The Soles of Your Feet (47 minutes).

Painting circles with your feet? Sounds weird, I know. But it can give you better balance, better mobility, and a healthier spine! Highly recommended.....

*Advanced Feldenkrais AY Volume Two (was $87 - included at no cost)*

Here you are another 11 advanced and rare Feldenkrais sessions based on those that Feldenkrais taught at his studio on Alexander Yanai street for nearly 30 years.

1. Alexander Yanai 109: Lowering The Pelvis To Sitting

Lowering your pelvis to sitting. Portions of this session will easy to do for most people....and portions will be impossible for virtually everyone! (Laughter). So take it easy. 

2. Alexander Yanai 181: Bending the Fingers Backward

This session starts with a scan on the back and the movements are done on the side, in sitting and standing and some other positions. Feel free to just do the first 15 minutes or so, if you do not have the time or interest in doing a full session. And feel free to skip any of the positions that are not comfortable for you.

3. Alexander Yanai 190: Heels Under Your Pelvis

It is another one that most people should be able to do most of... but it can be challenging near the end. Lots of great movements of the toes that can help with balance and walking. Kind of an "anti-aging" session.

4. Alexander Yanai 220: Hands Behind

This can evoke some amazing movements in your shoulders and ribs. Your shoulders will feel much freer than before and you can feel an opening up in your ribs. 

5. Alexander Yanai 270: Holding The Knee

Rediscover the pleasure of bending and reaching through some unique movements.

6. Alexander Yanai 345: Diagonal Twist

This is one of my all-time favorite sessions! It is a 40-minute session done lying down, though I do ask you to stand for a moment at the beginning. It will bring some very unique movements in and around your spine and pelvis. Go slow and enjoy! 

7. Alexander Yanai 348: "Arms and Legs on the Diagonal." ("Butterfly Wings")

This is a potentially "intense" session for some folks as it involves some unusual movement through the hips and ribs. So go slow, be gentle with yourself and only do what you can do. Of course, for some people it is NOT an intense session, but very easy. You never know. Whatever you do, enjoy it.

8. Alexander Yania 418: Interlacing The Toes

This session will help your toes and feet to be flexible and adapt to many different surfaces such as the rough, uneven and varied surfaces that our ancestors walked on. Begin the journey of having soft, flexible feet! 

9. AY 539: Standing Next To A Chair

Walk and stand easier and have more balance and stability.  You want to be standing near a chair without wheels and with a high back that you can hold onto. Alternately you could do it near a bar or table or other flat, stable surface. More details are in the session. There are some COOL and non-habitual movements of the head and spine about 20 minutes into the session. Highly recommended.

10. Getting Back Back (Esalen)

This is a session from the famed Esalen workshop. It is done in standing with a couple minutes of sitting in the middle. You may find it very fun and enlightening near the end where you walk in some very different ways.  (I have given this away before, but not with the transcript).

11. One for your hip joints: AY356 Bending Knees, Lifting Toes

Here is a rarity... a relatively gentle and SHORT Alexander Yanai session (27-minutes). It is done in standing. I did it while standing next to my kitchen counter. You could also do it standing behind a chair with a tall back. A wonderful session for loosening up your hip joints. Another great session for increased stability and mobiliy.

*Reminder*

These are advanced sessions but you can do them if you are easy with yourself. So go slowly and only do what you can do. Rest whenever you want. And never - never - do anything in these sessions (or any Feldenkrais session) that is painful.
