I attended 2018 CCSF Fledenkrais course with a VERY VERY SWEET instructor,

Through her introduction, I learned there was a person called Moshe Fledenkrais.

I'd like to learn more about Moshe Fledenkrais, thus I started to do TextQuilting with his biography,

The title was A Life In Movement, Moshe Feldenkrais,

I'm on chapter 5 now, total is 8 chapters,

I just REREAD AGAIN yesterday, then I realized that he passed away in 1984,

yet this book was FIRST PUBLISHED in 2015,

2015!!!!

31 years AFTER HE PASSED AWAY,

The book was mostly written by Mark Reese,
Moshe Feldenkrais's student he encountered in 1975,
when Moshe came to set up an USA branch in San Francisco.

Mark Reese is a San Franciscan.

However, the book was published through an intensive editing work by Mark Reese's 2nd wife and his high school classmate that they had endured a 35+ years friendship.

because Mark Reese died at his 50's, not long after he started to do the writing job.

Thus I was totally shocked, (in an amazed and in awe way) learned that this book was completed by TONS of LOVE, CARE and DEDICATION,
the unrelenting DETERMINATION to make the quasi 600 pages of words in print.

Since I'm not really an English reader, for that I immigrated to USA when I was well over 30 years old,
when I arrived, I barely spoke a word in English other than YES and NO.

thus I progress slowly,

Do you think you'd be happy to STUDY together, help me and learn from each other for the Feldenkrais Method?

Certainly, the ULTIMATE GOAL is how to apply the physical movements into daily movements, so that we (at least I), can feel NOT SO FRAGILE at every single foot step as how I lead my current life now.

In another word, BECOMING OLD and OLDER with GRACE.
