FeldenFoot Workshop with Catherine McCrum
Feldenfoot is the first of a series of shorter workshop-style Feldenkrais-based courses.
Each of these workshops will be only five days and focused on a specific theme.
Accompany Catherine McCrum, Feldenkrais Practitioner as she plays around with the movements and imagery that are working in her riding right now.
Essentially, the FeldenFoot lessons are all about, how your feet are truly the foundation of a good seat.
Except, these sessions are about more than just your seat. They have the potential to reorganise the whole of you, your entire body, your system, in such a way that you will glimpse, or perhaps even learn what it feels like to be weightless in relationship to gravity, which is what Catherine calls ‘lightness in action’.
In practice, what does this mean for us and our horses?
Here’s Catherine’s experience which she wants to share with you in this Workshop…
“Something extraordinary happened to me when I started to reorganise my feet in this particular way.
I felt my horse's back lifting up and into me as if, as if, by magic.
I did nothing.
His breathing changed.
His whole body felt fluid.
And this experience was so markedly the opposite of that feeling of compressing my horses back down with my weight.”
It was this simple, yet profound experience that prompted Catherine to make this Workshop to share it with you.
For this 5-Day Self-Study workshop, Catherine has curated a series of Feldenkrais lessons so you can have your own at-home exploration.
Included with the lessons is the recording of a Q&A session held with Catherine McCrum and Thomas and Shana Ritter, as well as some BONUS recorded 'live' lessons to show you how to take this work out into the saddle and get hands-on to feel the impact on your horse.
