Make No Bones About Movement...
The name "Know Bones Movement" was inspired from an idiom; "make no bones about it". Not only is it a play on words by substituting "no" for 'know", but it invites the student to be straightforward and clear about something while leaving no room for doubt or misunderstanding. My idea was to create an invitation for the student to learn and know themselves through their skeleton with clarity of movement and awareness.
The idiom originates from fifteenth-century England and developed as an expression to discovering unwelcomed bones in soup. If there were no bones in the soup, the culinary experience could be swallowed without difficulty. The idiom "make no bones about it" emphasizes that a situation or circumstance may be clear and straightforward, similar to the consumption of soup without bones.
In my experience, learning to move with the Feldenkrais Method® facilitates neuroplasticity and promotes a clear connection to my skeleton within a field of gravity. Similar to no bones in my soup, the connections to pain-free, easy movement make sense in a way that words cannot describe.
