Feb. 24th, 2005 09:00 amSo first, I missed Lost last night. Well, let me revise that and say I missed all but the last 15 minutes of Lost last night. If I were virtuous I would have just walked away from the tv so I could watch a recording of the entire thing (thanks Aelf!) but, we all know by this point that virtue and I parted ways many years ago.
( A few Lost thoughts behind the cut. )
So the Feldenkrais class was fascinating, kind of like a guided meditation more than an exercise course. I've done a lot of this kind of work before without even knowing it, but the sudden awareness and balance at the end of it still took me slightly by surprise. The movements we did were quite simple and I was astonished to see how quickly moving just my legs and hips could effect things like my neck and shoulders. Also I started out being quite aware that I was favoring my left side (I always do) but by the end I was completely balanced. If I can find any books on the subject I may pursue it further, but at the very least I want to continue with the moves I learned last night. The change in something as simple as a hip circle after just 45 minutes was astonishing. I can definitely see how this will help my dancing, and that's very exciting.
