The Body of Life: Creating New Pathways for Sensory Awareness and Fluid Movement

A friend turned me on to Feldenkrais and somatics a while ago, after I'd discovered the basic understandings on my own through trial and error and self-development. Immediately, I began buying books on the subject, filling out the missing pieces that I hadn't yet found on my own. Nearly all of the books I've read on the subject have been difficult to understand, though they were certainly accurate and useful. Hanna's "The Body of Life" is the first book on somatics I've found that is very easily readable, and it accomplishes this without turning the "meat" to "fluff," as many other "pop" books do.

I like because it's important to me and my life.

Nice book. It gift to my granddaughter. Five stars

I am using this book for daily excercises. I am a firm believer in this method. The book is as described in fine condition. Thank you.

Even the language is a little technical, it is worth reading it, since he is good explaining the main roots of the body mind connection. I consider that he was one of the best pupils of Feldenkrais.

Great book, this is where it is at, if people really want to understand movement.

This man is a saint.. every thing he writes about makes sense.. he is awesome and has changed so many lives for the better.

very interesting

Really groundbreaking writing here.

Great insight into this method and has influenced the way I perform as a rehab specialist to great results.

Must read! A fabulous tool as a user manual of the body's mind & how Feldenkrais teaches us how movement enables our personal growth & development from the ages of 0 to infinity!

Everyone can benefit from learning the incredible work of Thomas Hannah. Buy it now!

I'm trying somatic exercises with a view to training to teach them and this book provides further information about them
