Movement-Based Lessons
Bring presence, awareness and resilience into everyday life.
Feel better … Uncover unconscious movement patterns that create and hold your pain. And then, with this understanding, explore new, non-habitual movements that offer a path to greater comfort, improved quality of movement and well-being.
Live better ... Feel into habitual thinking patterns that trigger stress and spark uncomfortable emotions. Reorganize the connections between your body, your thoughts and your feelings to experience new patterns that support inner calm, stability and resilience.
Perform better … Learn to recognize when unconscious effort disrupts the flow of your progress, whether in dance, music, art, sports or everyday life. Noticing the relationships within your body’s structure and experimenting with non-habitual connections transforms unconscious effort into an integrated and refined practice of ease and grace.
Yuka Iwamoto
I am a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner and a Vibrational Sound Therapy Certified Practitioner.
Deepening the relationship between how we move, how we think and how we feel is the heart of my work.
Every lesson is informed by 17 years of experience in professional movement-based practice: orthopedic rehabilitation, neurological retraining, athletic training and in-depth study of the Feldenkrais Method® … along with my own “endless journey of curiosity”: experiencing and overcoming chronic pain, the stress of perfectionism and creative blocks as a vocal performer.
I will guide you with compassion, tenderness and presence.

“Movement is life. Life is a process.
Improve the quality of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.”
