The Feldenkrais Method is a gentle, movement-based therapy that enhances body awareness and coordination through guided exercises. It encourages the nervous system to explore new patterns of movement, often leading to improved flexibility, reduced tension, and relief from pain. Rather than using force, Feldenkrais engages the mind-body connection to encourage ease and efficiency in how we move.
During pregnancy and postpartum, Feldenkrais is particularly beneficial. It supports women in navigating physical changes such as altered posture, joint stress, and muscular tension. Through slow, thoughtful movements, it helps expectant mothers feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies. After birth, it aids recovery by addressing postural imbalances, improving pelvic floor control, and reducing common issues like back pain or diastasis recti.
Whether you're preparing for birth or recovering afterward, Feldenkrais offers a calming, intelligent approach to reconnecting with your body and feeling at ease in movement.

The Feldenkrais Method encourages healing through mindful movement. Rather than forcing change, it invites the body to discover new, easier ways of moving, improving flexibility, posture, and comfort. During pregnancy and postpartum recovery, Feldenkrais is particularly valuable. It supports the body's adaptation to physical changes, helps ease pain, and enhances pelvic floor strength. Gentle, thoughtful exercises help expectant and new mothers reconnect with their bodies, feel more grounded, and move with greater ease. It’s a calm, empowering practice that nurtures both physical and emotional wellbeing.
