Feldenkrais is a somatic education method that uses gentle movement and awareness to improve movement, flexibility, and overall well-being. It is based on the idea that we can learn to move more efficiently and comfortably by paying attention to our bodies and how we move.
Feldenkrais can help improve the parasympathetic nervous system by:
* Teaching us how to relax our muscles.
* Improving our body awareness.
* Reducing stress and anxiety.
Want to try it?
Here is an example of a Feldenkrais exercise that can help to improve the parasympathetic nervous system:
Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.
Place your hands on your lower back, with your fingers pointing towards your spine.
Take a deep breath in and gently press your lower back into your hands.
As you exhale, slowly release the pressure in your lower back.
Repeat this for 10-15 breaths.
This exercise helps to relax the muscles in the lower back and improve the range of motion in the spine. It can also help to reduce stress and anxiety.
Feldenkrais is a safe and gentle way to improve the parasympathetic nervous system and overall well-being. It is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. If you are looking for a way to improve your health and well-being, Feldenkrais is a great option to consider.
