The Four Points are a theme Feldenkrais introduces here, early in the AY series, but it's developed more later in other places like the San Francisco training.
To me, AY16 seems to be two different lessons woven together, so with this episode and the previous episode, I've separated those two lessons into two separate lessons.
This one is interesting because it connects very directly to another set of themes in this second reel of AY lessons, this position where you're sitting with one of your legs long and the other bent with the sole on the floor. In previous lessons, like the shoulder stand lesson, you do flexion to take yourself forward with one leg bent and one leg straight. In this second half of AY16, you into that position from a totally different entry point, and I think that's compositionally interesting. It’s also valuable from a learning perspective.
If you're ready, please enjoy.
