Of Feldenkrais, Chickens and Movement Possibility
The YouTube video below had been viewed nearly 500,000 times at the time I posted it below. It shows the "strange to us" ability of a chicken to keep its head completely still, even as the rest of its body moves in different directions.
As a student of Moshe Feldenkrais and other movement scientists, I am fascinated by the untapped possibility that chickens oops! …that human beings have for movement.
The brilliance of Dr. Feldenkrais was he found that it is possible to teach a person new movement possibilities - not by stretching nor exercise, but by giving a person new sensory-motor experience from which to learn.
Enjoy! - Ryan
Thanks to Dan Schmidt, Feldenkrais Practitioner for bringing this video to my attention.
