Three 60 minute lessons from ‘Bones for Life’ created by Ruthy Alon
Better Walking with the Magic Blanket (Audio)
This lesson helps you uncover your own pattern of walking in the world. The short standing exploration will clarify the way you use your torso in taking a step. You’ll use a rolled towel to unlock some of the restrictions you have in your spine, so that walking becomes smoother, easier and more integrated.
Silken Scarf: Hands on the Wall (Audio)
This lesson helps you understand how your arms connect to the rest of your body. The sequence will let you experience how your arms and legs can drive the motion in your torso. You’ll use a rolled towel to unlock some of the restrictions you have in your spine, so that walking becomes smoother, easier and more integrated.
Intro: Functional Reflexology - Interconnection of feet to lower back (Audio)
This lesson combines Ruthy Alon's 'Magic Blanket' in three different locations to free the action of your pelvis and spine. Coordination of the activity of your back muscles depends on how the pressure of the body’s weight is distributed over the sole of the foot. The ultimate effect is a better connection to your feet for balance.

I believe the quality of your movement is the quality of your life.
I am passionate about improving people’s lives by coaching them to have a greater awareness of their physical sensations and to help nurture functional movement. These are the tools that have transformed so many of my clients lives.
For over 20 years I have used the principles from a powerful neuro-motor practice called the Feldenkrais Method to inform my pilates teaching as well as fitness training with groups and individuals. Specializing in clients recovering from injury, neurological issues, performing artists and seniors, I maintain a private clinical practice working one-on-one with clients and also present workshops across the country and overseas.
