1. Tilting pelvis, in sitting
2. Extensors
3. Classic rotation sitting
4. Rolling arms
5. Oscillations “Jello Pudding”
6. Rolling to sit

These are more or less from Moshe’s SF Evening Class Series.

1. Basic back: the recording didn’t come out, but you can try a version of this lesson here: Coordinating flexors and extensors
2. On the stomach, training the back (the first part of AY 473)
3. Opposition on the Side (AY 447)
4. Frog’s legs variations
5. Lean on the knee and get up (AY 409)
6. On the stomach, face to knee (AY 533)
7. Bonus! Supporting the head, continuation (AY 534)

I’m still thinking about knees, though you may or may not notice it when you do these lessons.

I’m thinking about knees, and Theo Jansen’s strandbeest:

1. Somewhere in your back… (AY 434: Twisting and opposing gently)
2. Frog’s Legs (AY 117)
3. Recording malfunction! But you can do a similar lesson here: Hip and shoulder circles
4. Turning the head around its circumference and in the center (AY 6)
5. Getting to know the hip joints (AY 241)
6. Sidelying, sliding hands and knees at different angles (no particular source)

 

In this four-week series, we’ll explore connecting from foot through knee into the hip…and you can only imagine where it would go from there. Or where you’ll go when you become a super agile and powerful walker.

1. Pelvic clock variations
2. Folding ankle on the outside
3. Lying on the feet turned in, while breathing rhythmically
4. …

In this spring series, we’ll twist and untwist, lengthen and fold — loosening our shoulders and adding a spring to our step.

1. Leaning on the hands and twisting
2. Holding the foot and turning the pelvis
3. Taking the foot through the ring of the arms
4. Picking up again the idea of holding the foot
5. Head passing under the frame of the arm
6. Face down, lift head with free spine

By the end, your head will know where your pelvis is, and your pelvis will know where your head is. Maybe you’ll use your spine differently to help lift your legs, and maybe your head will float with the greatest of ease on top of it all. And what effect will that have on the agility with which you manage the challenges of your life?

1. Dead Bird
2. Protrusions and bendings
3. Extensors with a twist 
4. On the side – head and pelvis
5. Head and Pelvis
6. What I taught was AY 539, Fresh Standing, but I’m not happy with the recording!

I have a theme for this series, but I have no words for it. You’ll find your back more supple and organized, your legs lighter, and neck and shoulders more free, and you might get a bit taller. That’s all I can say!

1. Crossed legs, tilting knees to the side
2. Introduction to the bridge
3. Crossing ankles behind
4. In standing, turning with the eyes
5. Continuing the bridge, with pressure waves
6. Falling to the side

From the fingertips and the toes, you can launch spirals that speak directly to your spine. But your feet and hands are windows into your real “core”–your brain. Your hardest working organ is the core you rely on to plan and execute action, adjust your intention to the feedback of the environment, regulate responses to stress, and integrate the specialized functions of each hemisphere. Get to know your left and right-handedness, footedness, and more in this six-week series.

1. Working with the dominant hand
2. Hands interlaced
3. Interlacing toes
4. Violin arms
5. From crawling to sitting
   • Crawling to sitting addendum
6. Elbows in crooks

In this eight-week series, we’ll clarify hips and shoulders in the context of the functional whole.

1. Flexors
2. Looking over shoulder
3. Legs to the side and lifting them with the hands
4. Dragging feet and head left and right
5. Bending while sitting and shoulder movements
6. Hooking the big toe and passing the knee
7. Classical twist on the side with an advanced opening
8. Sliding along the length of the leg
9. Leap year bonus class! But a failure in recording.
