Should I do Feldenkrais or Bones for Life?
Feldenkrais, either individually or in groups, is an excellent precursor for taking Bones for Life classes. Feldenkrais helps heighten awareness and your ability to sense what you are doing. Many people start with Bones, however, with good results. If you are dealing with osteopenia or osteoporosis, you may want to begin with Bones. Bones for Life is also extremely helpful in improving alignment and the flow of movement through the whole skeleton and is not limited to bone-strengthening; Louise Runyon uses many of its approaches in her individual Feldenkrais sessions. If you are dealing with significant injury or limitation it is probably preferable to start with Feldenkrais, which is somewhat gentler and less vigorous. Bones for Life is very much focused on the function of walking, although much of the work is done lying on the floor.
