Ryan’s AY Volume 1

6 powerful Alexander Yanai audio sessions, plus 3 bonus sessions.

These are advanced Feldenkrais sessions based on lessons Moshe Feldenkrais taught at his Alexander Yanai studio.

They explore the head, neck, spine, breathing, pelvis, legs, feet, balance, and whole-body organization.

Some are strange.

Some are challenging.

Some are surprisingly beautiful.

And several of these sessions have been life-changing for me and many of my students.

They are not exercise sessions.

They are learning sessions - designed to help you discover new options in how you move, sense, breathe, sit, stand, and organize yourself.

The Sessions

1. Alexander Yanai 1: Tilting The Head
A sitting session with unique movements of the head, neck, and spine. This was the first Alexander Yanai session Moshe kept and recorded.

2. Alexander Yanai 2: Seeing Your Heels
A stomach-lying session that explores powerful movement ideas through the spine, back, and extensors.

3. Alexander Yanai 3: Roll To Sit Using Your Elbows
An advanced and sometimes impossible-feeling session for discovering easier ways to roll, organize, and come toward sitting.

4. Alexander Yanai 4: Sitting Cross-Legged
One of my favorites. A useful session for exploring differences between the right and left sides, especially around the legs and pelvis.

5. Alexander Yanai 5: Equalizing The Nostrils
A weird, rarely taught session for exploring breathing, speaking, and the use of both nostrils. Have some tissue nearby.

6. Alexander Yanai 6: A Pencil On The Head
An advanced lesson using imagination and non-habitual head and neck movements to create new organization.

Bonus Sessions

7. Alexander Yanai 37: Caressing The Legs
A delicious and fascinating session that can create wonderful changes through the back, spine, legs, and pelvis.

8. Alexander Yanai 61: Legs And Arms In Circles
A wonderful bonus session done on the back, with the arms above the head and many gentle circular movements.

9. Alexander Yanai 111: Painting The Floor With The Soles Of Your Feet
A strange but powerful session for the feet, balance, mobility, and healthier movement through the spine.

Go slowly.

Rest often.

Skip anything that does not feel useful.

And remember: you do not have to finish these sessions for them to teach you something.
