Does "Effortless Gardening" sound like a contradiction in terms? It isn't. Many gardeners suffer needlessly because they use their bodies improperly. The Effortless Gardening Program teaches you practical body movement techniques that make gardening nearly effortless.
You will learn the Pain Equation -- and how to reverse it. You'll improve your flexibility and body awareness by doing the audiotaped Feldenkrais® movement lessons. The Effortless Gardening Program even coaches you while you're gardening!
Don't let pain prevent you from pursuing your passion. It's possible to feel great the day after gardening -- let Effortless Gardening show you how!
More than just a video...
The Effortless Gardening Program contains:
one videotape | ||
two audiocassettes | ||
a printed program guide |
The program guide introduces Miriam Levenson, explains the Feldenkrais Method® in terms of gardening, and tells you how to get the best results from Effortless Gardening. Refer back to this guide when you're curious or confused.
The videotape introduces the principles of Effortless Gardening. It teaches you the Pain Equation and shows the best way to do many typical gardening activities. The video shows how to ease pain in knees, hands, wrists, neck, shoulders, and back. It also demonstrates best ways to do the following tasks:
weeding | ||
using a wheelbarrow | ||
shoveling | ||

how to relieve stress! |
Each side of the audiocassettes includes one Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® lesson and coaching on related tasks. The movement lessons can be done before or after gardening. Doing the lessons relaxes stressed muscles, improves flexibility and range of motion, and increases body awareness.
The personalized coaching sessions ground Effortless Gardening theory in your own body. Do the coaching task before the Awareness Through Movement lesson, and then again after the lesson. Notice if it's easier afterward, even without specific coaching. Then listen to the coaching session, and notice if the task becomes even easier.
