Private Feldenkrais Sessions
In-person and online
Feldenkrais with Yuka
Stability, dignity and comfort for body, mind and life.
Feldenkrais is especially powerful because it meets you where you are. You don’t need to be athletic, mentally tough or spiritually minded. You aren’t required to meet progress benchmarks (because there aren’t any). And there’s no need to get any part of your session right (because there is no universal “right” in Feldenkrais).
Here’s why: Your body — and your experience of your body, your emotions and your thoughts — are uniquely yours.
That’s what we work with: you and your experiences.
Feldenkrais sessions help you sense your body more fully, move with greater awareness and intention, and grow your trust and confidence in your body. So you experience less pain, process your emotions and express them fully and skillfully and expand what is possible in your day-to-day life.
The Feldenkrais Method, a mind-and-body–based practice rooted in neuroplasticity, quickly and reliably resets your nervous system.
The heart of your session
Each session is designed to deepen the relationship between how you move, how you think and how you feel. From the way you take part in the day-to-day movements and tasks of everyday life, to how you use your memory and language, to how you express emotions, to the way you live into your relationships with the people you love.
To begin your session
We’ll take time to talk together.
Hearing about your concerns and what you most want to experience as a result of our work together will help me guide you as you explore movement patterns by recognizing your habitual patterns and integrating new movement into your daily life.
During your session
When we meet, whether in-person or online, we’ll focus on slow, mindful movements, and I’ll ask questions that will help you notice the quality of your movement and what you are sensing, feeling and thinking as you move.
This allows you to notice how you initiate your movements and how you maintain patterns of movement that restrict you.
At the close of your session
We’ll take time to talk in-depth about what you noticed and experienced.
This allows us to explore how to connect your discoveries and experiences into your daily life to meet your desired goal while offering insight for planning our next session together.

Sensations recovered and spirits lifted
“Before I began working with Yuka, I felt isolated and emotionally removed because my Parkinson’s symptoms had greatly increased. I wanted to feel connected physically and mentally with the world again. Feldenkrais sessions with Yuka have helped me recover sensations in my body and, in the process, have lifted my spirits. I am happier and optimistic, reconnected with the world and my body.”
— Chris, Washington
Living with Parkinson’s disease
Unblocked grief and access to sadness
“Thank you for your session working with the dominant hand. My left hand was ‘frozen’ after a near-death experience with Covid and a stroke in October 2021. This was such an emotional experience, and I felt it in all my left-hand fingers. For the first time I was so touched by my sadness and tears.
For months I had been wishing I could cry; however, my high blood pressure medication seemed to block it. Today in your session I found something entirely different, and I felt so connected to my sadness and tears.
Thank you very much, and I hope you will help many people with your session working with the dominant hand.”
— Imelda de Smet-Kessels, France
