This series of 15 consecutive Awareness Through Movement® Lessons was recorded during the Spring
2014 Feldenkrais 15 Day Challenge. Each day consists of a roughly 45 minute Awareness Through
Movement® Lesson that builds upon the previous lesson. Now in the luxury of your own home and at your
own pace you can experience the power of the Feldenkrais Method® to bring about major changes in your
body, your movement and your well-being. I recommended that you do a lesson a day, just as we did in the
15 Day Challenge. Remember—we get good at what we practice!

A simple to Guide to follow as you do an Awareness Through Movement® Lesson:
- Do everything slowly – You need sufficient time to assimilate the idea of the movement
being described and sufficient time to perceive and sense yourself. - Look for pleasant sensations and do less if you feel discomfort
- Make your movement exploration easy and light
- Doing less is more
- Take your own rests whenever you feel like it
