Episode 83: Mobilizing and Connecting to the Ribs
Episode 83:
This class is the first of a series of classes I will be posting as an introduction to the upcoming Body Matter Feldenkrais series, Soften the System. Today we take a very gentle Feldenkrais® approach to mobilizing the chest by connecting the shoulders to the ribs and sternum. There will also be a few movements with the jaw. I invite you to be incredibly kind with your jaw when doing those movements.
If you resonate with TODAY’s approach, you may be interested in these self-paced Feldenkrais audio series:

Sarah Baumert has been teaching movement and creating Sarah B Yoga podcast classes since 2006. She is a certified yoga teacher, yoga therapist and Feldenkrais® practitioner. This podcast is an intersection of her yoga teaching and training in the Feldenkrais® method. Classes include sensory rich movement experiences for a more resilient and healthy nervous system to help you feel a greater sense of ease and comfort in yourself. Each podcast is an originally crafted class taught by Sarah Baumert. Sarah's teaching is alignment based, unhurried, and rich with somatic inquiries. The cueing is effective, easy to follow, and uses visualizations of postures to allow for unexpected growth and depth. You will find live unplugged versions of her classes from yoga studios, as well as classes that are specifically produced for the podcast medium.
