Regular group
A small live group where we explore how movement organizes itself through the Feldenkrais Method®: gently, attentively, and without pressure. The group studies the functions and movements of the first year of life, helping an adult reorganize the basic patterns on which later actions, habits, and reactions are built.
The method
The Feldenkrais Method® is a somatic learning approach developed by Moshe Feldenkrais. It explores movement, sensation, and habitual patterns through attention - not through effort or repeating a correct shape.
There are two main forms: Awareness Through Movement (ATM) - verbally guided lessons in a group or from recordings - and Functional Integration (FI), one-to-one. In this group we work with ATM: gentle sequences where quality, reversibility, and self-organisation matter more than speed.
This is not fitness or stretching. The aim is freer, more intelligent movement and a finer dialogue between body and nervous system. Different levels of experience are welcome: you can go at your own pace and pause whenever something feels uncomfortable.
What research says
Below are a few findings, translated from research language into everyday words.
What the study found:
In Feldenkrais® studies, participants' situational anxiety decreased both after short series of lessons and after longer programs.
In everyday words:
After practice it can be easier to exhale, with less inner rush and less sense that your nervous system is always running at high revs.
What the study found:
In a randomized trial in people with chronic non-specific low back pain, the Feldenkrais Method® produced better outcomes for quality of life, bodily awareness, and reduced limitations in daily life than standard deep trunk-muscle training.
In everyday words:
Your back may not only hurt less, but also feel more manageable: it is easier to notice overload earlier and less easy to slip into chronic bracing.
What the study found:
A 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis describes the Feldenkrais Method® as a tool in physiotherapy practice and shows that for spinal pain it produces therapeutic effects comparable to other physiotherapy approaches.
In everyday words:
This is not an exotic practice for a quirky experience. In clinical care, Feldenkrais® can be one of the gentle, serious options for working with pain, movement, and everyday function.
What the study found:
In a systematic review of the Feldenkrais Method®, older adults improved measures related to stability, safe walking speed, and maintaining balance.
In everyday words:
A person stands more steadily, shifts weight with more confidence, and finds it easier to get up, turn, and move without extra awkwardness.
What the study found:
In older adults, Feldenkrais® lessons were associated with improved function, comfort, and confidence in movement.
In everyday words:
Everyday actions may take less unnecessary effort: standing up, reaching, turning, keeping balance, and not overloading yourself on autopilot.
Testimonials
For about one and a half years I have been regularly doing Awareness Through Movement lessons with Yuliya. For me, these lessons are a way to explore the connection between brain and body and to recover faster after stress. The lessons gave me practical tools to slow down, ground in the present moment, and deal with anxiety more steadily.
I practiced the Feldenkrais Method® with Yuliya for more than two months, and these were my favorite sessions in the lab format. I could rest deeply and notice new body sensations. Yuliya guides with great care and respect: she always invites you to follow your own sensations and pause at the first sign of discomfort.
Working with Yuliya in movement awareness was an unexpected and meaningful journey. It is not about faster-higher-stronger, but about more awareness and precision. She is warm, attentive, and deeply involved in the method. The lessons feel clear, human, and genuinely supportive.

What this group explores
We return to the functions that are formed during the first year of life: rolling, pushing, reaching, shifting weight, crawling, standing, orienting, and organizing support. Each meeting explores one of these functions through clear verbal guidance and soft movement. This can reduce unnecessary tension, support emotional steadiness, and bring more clarity, adaptability, and support into everyday life.
A live Zoom class with voice guidance and soft movement exploration.
No performance pressure and no correction pressure, only attention, curiosity, and time to feel.
If you miss a meeting, the recording stays in the archive.
Archive and lesson library
This is not only a live group. Over time it becomes a real library of recorded lessons you can return to between meetings. The recordings give continuity, while the group gives rhythm and human presence. Lessons are grouped by function and movement.

Who is leading
I am a somatic learning practitioner and Feldenkrais Method® teacher (in training), based in Austria.
Before somatics, I spent almost two decades in IT: business analysis, digital product management, and consulting - from analyst to lead consultant in international companies.
I now train at Feldenkrais Institut Wien on the international program (2023-2027) and since 2025 I am qualified to teach Awareness Through Movement lessons.
Today I combine analytical clarity with somatic attention, helping people recover a sense of stability, clarity, and aliveness - without forcing or pushing.
I create learning environments where we explore through curiosity rather than survival: movement, breath, attention, thinking, habits, and ways of being in the world.
There is no goal to fix or remake you - only the chance to feel how much can reorganize when we learn to listen without judgement, and live a little lighter and happier.
I would be glad to meet you and work together.
Questions that usually come up
No. The group is suitable both for people who are new to the method and for those who already know the language of attention and slow movement.
The recording stays in the archive, so you can return to it later.
Usually yes, if the group still has space and the format fits your current stage.
A mat or soft surface, Zoom, and one quiet hour.
If this feels like your next step
To join, we need a short introduction. I suggest a free 10-15 minute call to meet, answer questions, and see whether we are a good fit. If you want to explore the method first, start with the small Listen to Yourself product - the product page has details. Use the email form at the bottom of the page and I will write you about the group.
