In this inspiring session, we sit down with Emily Stein, a former professional dancer who transitioned from a lifelong career in ballet and choreography to becoming a certified Feldenkrais Method practitioner. Together, we delve into Emily’s personal journey of managing pain, rediscovering movement, and finding true physical and emotional freedom through this unique approach.

You’ll hear Emily Stein share her experiences moving from chronic pain and the world of high-pressure dance to a more mindful, healing way of engaging with the body, and how her work now helps clients find greater awareness and relief. The conversation explores the Feldenkrais Method's focus on exploration rather than "fixing", the importance of agency and choice in movement, and the profound impact these principles can have on our emotional well-being and self-image.

Whether you’re curious about alternative healing methods, searching for ways to become more present in your body, or simply love hearing stories of transformation and hope, this episode offers gentle insights, practical wisdom, and even a guided exercise to experience the method firsthand.

While I was always committed to regular bodywork and to strength and conditioning training, I feared that the pain I was in was inevitable. 

As I looked to my next chapter, I decided to follow my curiosity about movement. My dance career had exposed me to many somatic modalities and practices, but the Feldenkrais Method® just seemed to fit me. The more I studied it, the more my body healed.
