    I have a question regarding your warm up routine and your feldenkrais exercises. Do I do a warm up before running or a feldenkrais lesson or both?

    Great question. Mostly, do a warmup to prepare your body. Occasionally do a Feldenkrais lesson to learn something new.

    I recently felt soreness in my muscles after running because I didn't know I should stretch first. This video opened my eyes, and I greatly appreciate the time you took to show us all this video!

    Very helpful warm up tips. I have torn my plantar fascia and sprained my ankle, and am in recovery mood, but I do hope to accomplish this goal.
