Pregnancy, how Feldenkrais helps

Pregnancy is a time of dynamic change and growth.  From the moment of conception, your body is beautifully adapting to carry and nurture your growing baby. Each pregnancy is unique and has a rhythm, pace and story of its own. And is a rich time to get to know yourself in new and different ways. 

The Feldenkrais Method can support you through the changes and challenges of pregnancy making for a more comfortable, personal and empowering experience. 

• Deepen your connection with your body and with yourself

• Feel more comfortable as your pregnancy progresses and enjoy your changing body. 

• Improve your stability and mobility 

• Create more choice so movement feels easy and less effortful. Less strain on joints and soft tissue.

• Explore new ways to move in harmony with your changing centre of gravity
