Gonna order that right now if I can. Been waiting for something like this to be available. Thanks for the link, John and your recent introspections and thoughts on the great internet war.
One of the most frequent questions we have heard over the past 10 or so years has been, "Is there any book or video that teaches eurythmy?" Now we can answer, "yes." Australian eurythmist Mark Neil has taken up the challenge and answer the need beautifully. In fact, what you'll find on this DVD goes far beyond anything we dared even wish for - even someone as naturally ungraceful as I am can follow the simpler exercises successfully, notice improvement over time, and emerge from each session feeling invigorated and happy (that's a testimonial - I have actually been doing them).
Every exercise is presented more than once, with clear movements for you to follow. My favorite, recommended for the evening, but I do it whenever I feel the need, is Hallelujah! Try it when you're feeling a bit frazzled - it's like seeing the sun come out on a rainy day.
The exercises are gentle and appropriate for all ages, though some of the more complex exercises may be best for teens and adults. As with all eurythmy instruction, there is no spoken instruction so as to be able to go from the act directly into body and soul without detouring through the intellect. As someone who loves to detour through the intellect, I must (reluctantly) confess that the approach works beautifully, once you just do it. It's not the way we are accustomed to being taught, but the results are something we can all love.
And, what will you gain from this? The list is enticing and in my experience, accurate: strength, flexibility, balance; you'll find you're more relaxed after a while and that you feel more alive; you'll sleep better and your ability to focus and percieve will be heightened; best of all, you'll rediscover your playfulness, you'll smile more often.
