Alan Questel draws on his more than 25 years of experience teaching the Feldenkrais Method, to create a movement program especially for pregnant women. Each "Pregnant Pause", a series of gentle movements done for just 20 to 40 minutes a day, is designed to help women adjust to the stages of pregnancy and eliminate pain and strain. Some people naturally ask, how can a man teach a class for pregnant women? The program is designed to support women in finding ease and comfort through the different stages of pregnancy, and as such rests on Alan's long experience helping people of all ages and abilities discover how to utilize awareness to be more fully present and move with more pleasure and ease.
