I don't know where this distinction lies but there is a progressive scale of regressive movement patterns. Like original strength, fms primitive patterns, get up mobility drills, joint mobility combos, primal move....all of which are great for movement prep drills, warm ups and/or daily oiling prehab. And we all probably have certain moves as a preference. Gray Cook has said too that removing the threat response to movements re-educates the cns and learning can take place, the very same Feldenkrais view. And it is here, somewhere that our individual needs split......general gentle moves are good for everyone but if you need more or a deeper access to your cns then reducing threat levels even more may help to get to where you need to go. I keep my Feldenkrais lessons separate from training days for that reason...I couldn't do heavy or even moderate training afterwards, usually nicely spent. And in so doing, remove threat totally for a deeper dive into my messed up cns! But can do mobility and seemingly very similar moves but not on such a deep level to assess where I am on a day before training or as a stand alone playtime light day or just messing around on the floor.
After a full Feldenkrais lesson I just want to snooze, kettlebells are a distant thought. Contra-lateral patterns can be done at varying intensities, light crawling, fast dynamic parkour crawling to sprinting and a Feldenkrais lesson could feature a cross lateral movement patterning. Dead bugs, great warm up to fire up, done in Feldenkrais lessons will smoke me and I fall asleep for a few minutes. Powerful, powerful stuff. Dead bugs as an exercise, you know as a warm up it is a prep and could do them for sets and reps kind of thing, so somehow there is a distinction between movement as exercise to movement as a movement itself and the level of awareness the mover is able to access OR perhaps more appropriately, needs to access. Fascinating, despite my pathetic explanation and general bewilderment of it all.
