My vision

“Dr. Feldenkrais defined Health as the ability to realize our avowed and unavowed dreams. Those dreams are unique to each individual, the same way that our personal history is unique. To realize them, we need to think independently, to find the solutions that are unique to us instead of trying to apply ourselves to existing templates for behavior and self-improvement. It is my vision and my experience, that when people engage with the Feldenkrais Method, they arrive at this place of independence. In the process they gain a healthy life, a life that is permeated with awareness and the freedom to realize their intentions”
– Aliza Stewart.



"Aliza's intelligence and commitment make her a real master of the
Feldenkrais method. As a classical musician, I suffered chronic pain
for several years and Aliza helped eradicate it within months. Aliza
Stewart and the Feldenkrais method changed my life."
- Heather Storeng, violist

“I have been profoundly affected by the expert guidance of Aliza Stewart. She is invested in the personal experience and awareness of each individual in a lesson. I am so inspired by this work and Aliza’s expertise that I have begun my training to become a practitioner.”
