How does the Feldenkrais Method relieve stress?

You can loosen the grip of stress by listening to your body. Much of our lives are spent on autopilot. The Feldenkrais Method combines mindfulness and movement.

Your body amplifies emotions and your organization. How you organize yourself reflects what you feel. Imagine anger or fear, and how your body changes organization. Private Feldenkrais sessions create a safe, positive, integrated experience of self, using gentle touch and movement. It feels amazing to be touched this way. I hope that I can facilitate your ability to calm down, unblock areas of the body, and make it ok to sense pleasure and love yourself.

The goal of the Feldenkrais Method is simple: to help you move better and feel better.
Through gentle movement and directed attention, Feldenkrais practitioners help you to improve function and breathing, facilitate ease of movement, and decrease pain and tension.

With this ease of breathing and reduction of muscular tension comes a deep release
from the chronic stress that so many of us store in our bodies. Feldenkrais lessons also develop your ability to bring yourself out of "fight or flight" mode to consciously relax.
