Ep. 28 Feldenkrais Method, Muscle Memory and How to Run Faster (with Erin Finkelstein)

Here I talk with Erin Finkelstein about a somatic movement therapy called Feldenkrais Method, comparing Feldenkrais with (movement) Yoga, asking 'Do we teach people how to walking correctly?', how you can change the patters in the brain by changing movement, how her personality changed from very serious to more easy-going & outgoing, how this work helps people even at highest levels of sport, how reading Feldenkrais' book 'The Potent Self' actually changes your brain, how Feldenkrais Method can help people run faster, how Feldenkrais could potentially improve math skill or even a chess score, how Feldenkrais can help with injury prevention (for example if Kobe Bryant did Feldenkrais he would have less of a chance to tear his achilleas in 2013), how Feldenkrais is basically an inquiry and an ability to make choices so it may not be a quick fix, and how Feldenkrais can be practiced through Zoom.
