The Feldenkrais Method offers hope if you have suffered from injuries, chronic pain, anxiety, developmental delays, or neurological deficits.
The Feldenkrais Method®
Hello and Welcome!
The Feldenkrais Method offers hope and healing if you or a loved one has suffered for too long from injuries, chronic pain, anxiety, developmental delays, or neurological deficits.
Practicing Feldenkrais has also helped athletes, musicians, and actors improve their performance.
Through conscious movements and brain-plasticity, you can alter the neuromuscular structures of your body, and build patterns and habits that provide relief where traditional physical therapy and other alternatives have failed. Feldenkrais can bring you the comfort and growth you deserve.

A New way of thinking about health!

Sable Stewart
Feldenkrais Practitioner
Sable is in love with movement. They have been a movement professional for 12 years, beginning with their enrollment in the Professional Track Program at the New England Center for Circus Arts. They went on to found Esh Circus Arts, now Boston’s premier circus school, and to perform on stages up and down the continent.
After complications of a hypermobility disorder ended Sable’s performing career, they became fascinated with anatomy, body mechanics, and the pedagogy of movement learning. This years-long deep dive into the intricacies of teaching movement led them to become a Feldenkrais practitioner after a lifetime of doing Feldenkrais (their first Feldie exposure beginning in the womb!), and they completed their Feldenkrais certification in 2020, as a graduate of the Boston 3 Feldenkrais Training.
Sable credits their experience with Feldenkrais for their ability to become an acrobat in the first place, and for their continued ability to move creatively even as their Ehlers Danlos becomes incrementally more disabling over time, and they find joy in sharing that process with their students. In their Feldenkrais practice, as with their ongoing acrobatic movement practice (www.flyingfoxaerial.com), they specialize in working with hypermobile students, fellow neurodivergent folks, and queer and trans siblings of all stripes, as well as dancers and acrobats; anyone looking to deepen their somatic understanding and presence, or to find creative movement availability after (or in the midst of) career-limiting dysfunction.
