Dear Students:
Years ago, I pulled a groin muscle in my right leg during a dance class. I have had many athletic injuries and by far, this injury’s recovery time was the 
most drawn out for me. Whenever my leg felt healed, I would move too quickly and pull it again. Running to catch the bus was my biggest nemesis and this went on for longer than I liked.
I mention this because recently, I went for a walk in the snow and my right groin muscle talked to me for the first time in ages. This muscle does not speak to me under other weather conditions. The weight of my boots and snow became a constraint that helped me become aware. Since I had no sensations in my left groin, I figured that I must have been stepping differently with my right leg compared to my left.
So I started to explore in a Feldenkrais way. Surely enough, when I slowed down I was able to notice a difference. Next, I began to experiment. I made my steps longer, 
then shorter, then closer to each other and farther apart. Afterwards, when I walked a normal pace my groin felt fine. Later, I forgot about it and the snowy constraint helped me realize when I returned to moving in a way that caused me to overwork. Once again, I leisurely began to investigate by taking a larger stride on one side only and then on the other side only.
In the end, I understood better why I originally pulled this muscle and I am grateful for the winter weather that offered me this lesson. May you use the environment around you to help you tune into yourself outside of Feldenkrais lessons.
