- to me totally not clear whether to place the face to the left or to the right, while working with the right foot. Moshe Feldenkrais said after the lesson you will know, but I still don’t know. – travelsheep Jan 5, 2014
- I love this lesson for its fascial aspect, and how power for walking/running/etc comes less from muscles but from tendons and good organization of feet.
