A Learner's Manual for the Human Body (feat. Frederick Schjang)


Listen Later

Have you ever heard of Feldenkrais? It's a method of movement that's been described as "a learner's manual for the human body." Whoa. Yeah. This week Jenn picks up the series on different types of fitness with featured guest, Frederick Schjang. Jenn asks Frederick all about what the method is, how it came to be, why we might want to try it and more. This is the form of training that allowed David Ben-Gurion (former Prime Minister of Israel) to go from bed ridden to a head stand. What's super cool is that Frederick leads us through a 5 minute Feldenkrais experience right here! Listen in and definitely let us know what you notice after the 5-minute miracle!
