Hello, this is Jerry.
He works in the garden.
Jerry is flexible — true and practical flexibility
Interview with Jerry:
Feldenkrais Magazine: "Hi Jerry. That looks fantastic, the way you're doing it. That's true multitasking."
Jerry: " Yeah, you know, I've always been looking for a way to talk to friends on the phone while working in the garden."
Feldenkrais Magazine: "It seems to be working."
Jerry: "Yeah, since last year I figured out how to control my toes as accurately as my fingers. Now I kind of have four hands, like a monkey (laughs). All the cherries are plump. I don't squeeze a single one."
Feldenkrais Magazine: "How many times a day do you stretch to get that loose up your leg?"
Jerry: "I rarely stretch, at least not to get flexible. I do Feldenkrais exercises."
Feldenkrais Magazine: "Thank you very much for the interview."
Jerry: "You're welcome."
With true flexibility you can start something active, keep your balance and also vary. Cherry picking like Jerry or maybe a controlled reversible karate kick.....
