Happy Birthday Moshé Feldenkrais!
Today he would be 109 if still living.
He was one of the most influential minds of the 20th Century that most people have never heard of.
This coming Sunday, May 12th we’ll be celebrating his birthday and International Feldenkrais Week with FREE class @ The Center for and Healing….7901 35th AVE SW, here in West Seattle.
See you this Sunday @ Noon!

Beginning Sunday April 7th, 2013 I’ll be teaching a weekly class at The Center for Movement & Healing.
This beautiful studio was just opened a couple of months ago in West Seattle by Jill Pagano, her dream to gather many different disciplines of movement under one roof.
Classes will be from 12:00pm to 1:00pm on Sundays.
Class fees are $15 drop-in rate. And a $60/5 class rate.
I’m excited to start teaching classes here.
Invest an hour playing with me on Sundays, to regain your freedom of movement, to do the things you love to do.
The Center for Movement and Healing is at 7901 35th Avenue SW, Seattle, WA 98126.

Our health can be measured many ways.
One way is to ask ourselves how our bowels are working.
Are you satisfied with the end result?
One of the challenges of living in the modern world comes with the fact that the ability to squat is essential for regular, healthy bowel movements….but we’re left with the toilet.
The human body was designed to squat for efficient elimination.
I love how the video below explains our need to squat when going #2. Although it’s hawking a product, I just use a short foot stool to do the trick

Sometimes our own well-being takes a back seat to reality. It takes time, committment, and often money to move in the positive direction we lay our dreams for wellness.
Now from the comfort of your home you can participate with and learn how to move with greater ease and less pain.
Right now the classes mainly focus on how we can make our sitting more comfortable, since this is the position we tend to do lots of our work from, especially computer work.
These are active, fun and interactive classes being held on the Google+ platform.
Just sign up with Google+
And tell me you’re coming HERE! on my Facebook Events Page.
This week’s class (02-28-13) will be focused on bringing more comfort and ease into sitting via the pelvis.
This is the video I made to announce my second class back on February 7th. Different date, and topic, and tons of love!

It’s the New Year and what a beautiful day the first day of the year is/was here in Seattle.
As the New Year rang in I shot this video of the entire 8 minute fireworks show that was launched from the Space Needle, from across the bay in downtown Seattle.
Let’s get this party started!

When addressing challenges we often just try harder, and often with terrible results.
In the following TED Talk, a scientist/feldenkrais practitioner goes over 4 Body/Mind Principles we can use for Learning:
1. Start within your comfort zone and make it even more comfortable.
2. Not too hard, not too easy: Pick an interesting challenge within your reach.
3. Move away from your desired place, and come back to it from different angles.
4. Play with it, connect it to other things you know, make it your own.
In this talk she shows a short Feldenkrais lesson with these steps. Then she goes over a simple mathematical problem using these steps too!
Enjoy

I’ve seen a couple of YouTube clips recently that have me seeing how important music is to life.
Today I came across this story of how music can be re-introduced to those who live with Dementia or Alheimers. The music takes them back to their memories and this can stimulate their general awareness.
Enjoy this following video (about 6 mins) about one man’s transformation:
Happy Solstice!

I know it’s easy to go through life and not acknowledge myself for the things I accomplish.
At times it can become a blur, especially when we’re up against deadlines, whether we’ve set them up or they’ve been set up for us.
One of the ways I use to remember, or anchor, the feeling of positive growth in my life is to celebrate.
And one of my favorite ways of celebration is with dance.
A week ago I gave myself the gift of attending and participating in Jonathan Budd’s Unstoppable Entrepreneur->Unstoppable Millionaire event in La Jolla (San Diego, CA).
We often had dance breaks during the 3 day seminar/workshop as a way of keeping ourselves fresh with the learning.
Here is a short clip I took on the first day. I would’ve shot more footage except I was too busy dancing!

This year Thanksgiving comes a couple of days after I invested 4 days down in La Jolla at the Unstoppable Millionaire 2 event with Jonathan Budd, Mark Hoverson, and many others.
The weekend really shifted the way I look at my business and my life. How grateful I feel about who I am and all the cool, powerful friends I’ve made in the past 3 months that are on a similar path of greatness.
I used to be thankful mostly for things, and now my gratitude is with the people and animals in my life.
Without friends, life is a bit empty.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

With the long, cold, dark Northwest winters knocking on our doors, many people like to hibernate and stay in the comfort of their homes.
Learning to move with less pain and greater ease has become easier with Google+ Hangout.
Beginning Wednesday November 28th 2012, and every Wednesday, I’ll be holding a Google+ Hangout lesson.
And through 2012 it’s all FREE!
Just put on your warm, comfortable clothes (or pajamas if you like), turn on your computer and webcam.
And join the Hangout!
The cool thing about this is that even if you don’t want to show the world what you look like you can always cover up the camera, or put in a still picture as your representation, and just follow along with the lesson.
If something doesn’t make sense, or you have a question for me or the group, or you just want to say “hi” to the group, the MIC is always on….or you can even turn your MIC off.
It’s your choice!
I use this medium when meeting with my business marketing group. It’s a visual meeting with people around the world for FREE!
So, if the winter doldrums have you not wanting to leave the house, or you live far away from Seattle and can’t (don’t) want to see me in person, the answer to alleviating your pain may be to hangout with me on Google+!
For connect with me on Google+ click Here.
Since, I still don’t have a scheduling system set up to sync with my web site, either connect with me on Google+ or leave me a message at erik@alkimoves.com.
Inspire your inner genius!
