AY #100: Cardinal head movements

Wow. This seems to me to be an almost perfect lesson. It is so simple, so elegantly symmetrical in its construction and yet has just as global an effect as last week's much more difficult (but fantastic) lesson #99. This lesson involves moving the spine in essentially a circular motion in several different orientations: on the back, on the stomach, on each side and then on the back again with the head turned. The lesson is not difficult--just about anyone could do it. I would guess that the benefit of the lesson, for those who haven't done much Feldenkrais before, might be enhanced by doing lesson #96 (Sinking the spine between the shoulder blades) first, as moving the spine relative to the shoulder blades is a particularly rewarding part of the spinal movements in this lesson.
