KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Awareness Through Movement lessons are audio-only by design — no demonstrations, no mimicking. You have to listen and notice how you feel.
  • The brain changes through curiosity, not correction. When you tinker with a movement — a little this way, a little that way — and notice what feels better, you're firing up the neural pathways that make lasting change possible. Performing the movement right doesn't do that.
  • Novelty is what makes the lessons work. When you repeat the same lesson, the autopilot returns and the change fades. Pauseture has 365 lessons because the brain needs something new each time — and consistency with variation is what builds a genuinely rewired nervous system over time.

Guild Certified Feldenkrais® Practitioner - Founder, Pauseture

Before we connected, Melanie asked if there as anything I wanted to focus on, and I told her after listening, we could go in so many directions because I felt aligned with her on so many topics.  At that point, she turned the recording button on.  She was deeply curious about experience and Facebook and how it related to building Pauseture. Reflecting after, I could have better articulated how much I loved my job there and that I was great at my job.  I loved working from the Menlo Park Headquarters and the New York office -- and I was fortunate to do that.  It was the micrcosm of the Los Angeles office that was difficult for me, in the beginning.  And, the culture did change as we got larger.  Also, I failed to mention the importance of scale is doing something for free or low cost.  Feldenkrais had traditionally been expensive to access, and I am self funding the app so that more people can have access, and that is scale.
