  1. This wonderful book saved my vacation this summer. I had to spend 20 hours on airplanes and trains which would have been awful, but among the exercises are numerous ones which can be done sitting or standing and not drawing attention. My Feldenkrais practitioner worked with me using the book [which she had recommended] so I could use the book as a reference to better remember what we covered. The illustrations are excellent and the instructions include fine points of execution and help guide exploration of the range of each movement.
