Some of you may be new to Awareness Through Movement (ATM) lessons and don’t really know where to start. There are so many lessons on the site with a great variety of movements. Although in theory any ATM lesson should be appropriate to anyone (as long as they follow the principles of ATM), for newbies, certain lessons are just easier to digest than others and create a greater feeling of learning and change. But which ones? Well, it does depend on the individual but below are some ideas of places to begin.
- “Introduction to Flexion” by Falk Feddersen as part of the Paddling Workshop
- “Turning in Side Sitting” by Falk Feddersen, taught on 9/27/2010
- “Paradoxical Breathing” by Falk Feddersen, taught on 5/17/2010
- “Bridge 1″ by Liz Sisco, taught on 2/26/2011
- “Jelly Pudding Pelvis” by Liz Sisco, taught on 12/18/2010
- “Rolling the Fists” by both Falk Feddersen (Paddling Workshop) and Liz Sisco (06/12/2010)
Note that these are a biased to my own lessons as I was able to observe the students during the lessons. All the above lessons are part of the ATM canon and can be found on the ATM recording page
Any ideas for additional starter lessons are welcomed
