Episode 100: Finding Freedom in Your Body: An Interview with Sarah
Today I am going to share with you an episode of the Expand Your Abilities Podcast with Jeffrey Schwinghammer. Jeffrey is a filmmaker, Feldenkrais practitioner, and the director of the upcoming documentary on the Feldenkrais Method. I’m really enjoying how his podcast is breaking down some really complex principles of the Feldenkrais method.
In his recent interview with me we discussed my background, how I came to teach both yoga and Feldenkrais, and how learning to move efficiently can enhance the quality of our life.
Our conversation leads to talking about finding a sense of freedom in your body and how Feldenkrais is a way to unlearn any sense of having an external authority over your body. This is a huge topic, a topic that I am currently exploring in my Feldenkrais series Autonomy and Personal Freedom.
I hope you enjoy this conversation about feeling free in your body, and how Feldenkrais and yoga complement each other. Be sure to check out some of Jeffrey’s other episodes of the Expand Your Abilities Podcast.
