Paul's Reviews > Move into Life: The Nine Essentials for Lifelong Vitality

I found this book both useful and interesting.

I was at first attracted to the book because I believed it was about a method called Feldenkrains.

I think the book is faithful to the principles of Feldenkrains but I think the author takes it to a different level which is actually quite accessible to the average reader.

There are few physical exercises in the book. The ones there are I was not so interested in. What did interest me are her nine principles of vitality which not only refer to physical "movement" but also mental and emotional movement which I feel are just as critical.

Principles of slowness, subtlety, and variation really got me thinking and making small changes to everyday activities. I found this of great benefit and I mean to keep these principles in mind.

The cover makes it look like it is some exercise book and it definitely is not.

Reading it, I became less interested in Feldenkrains in itself and more interested in seeing how her principles can improve life in general.

A good read overall.
