The Feldenkrais Method® at Pauseture
Gentle movement. Profound change.Pauseture offers Awareness Through Movement® somatic lessons. The Feldenkrais Method® was developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984), a physicist and judo master who believed that improving movement could improve life. Decades later, neuroscience agrees.
Core Principles
- Mindfulness & Interoception: Feel what you're doing as you do it
- Slow, Gentle Movements: No forcing, no rushing — just sensing
- Movement Variability: Try things different ways to expand your options
- Reduce Effort: Always look for an easier way to do the movement – often letting go of unnecessary muscular effort by leveraging your skeleton
- Rest: Brain rewires in rest – so lessons give frequent rests and you can rest any time
- Self-Discovery: Make mistakes — find what’s easy for you.
- Function Over Form: These lessons help with real-life actions like sitting, turning, or walking
Why haven’t I heard of this before?
The Feldenkrais Method® has long been used by dancers, athletes, and people with chronic pain — but it wasn’t widely accessible. Pauseture is changing that by making these lessons digital, affordable, and inclusive.
