and BONES FOR LIFE
“from the impossible to the possible, from the possible to the easy, from the easy to the elegant” Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais
The Feldenkrais Method of Movement and Somatic Education is one of the original modern bodymind practices…
… and remains one of the most potent holistic disciplines available today. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world have benefitted from the Feldenkrais Method since its origins in the 1940s. Its practitioners have been utilizing and testing the now commonly-understood principles of neuroplastic change since decades before the term even existed. Bones for Life is a more recent innovation informed by Feldenkrais principles, with special emphasis on posture and walking.
For women in the Renaissance Stage of Life, Feldenkrais offers something particularly valuable: a way back into the body, on the body’s own terms. Gentle, non-invasive, and endlessly adaptable — it meets you exactly where you are.
What the Feldenkrais Method can do:
- Regulate the nervous system
- Contribute dramatically to self-awareness and body confidence
- Produce remarkable, fast improvements in posture
- Offer radical approaches to better balance — especially valuable for older adults
- Restore mobility after surgeries, accidents, or periods of inactivity
- Improve flexibility
- Assist in regaining body use after strokes
- Remain accessible to complete beginners while remaining valuable to sophisticated movers — dancers, athletes, yoga practitioners
Lessons are available lying down, seated on the floor, standing, or seated in a chair. There is a vast catalog to draw from, always chosen to meet your specific needs.
Meriah Kruse has been a Feldenkrais Practitioner since 1999 and a Bones for Life Teacher since 2012 — 27 years of working with bodies, restoring ease, and helping people move through the world with greater confidence and pleasure.
She is currently available for:

- Group Introductory Workshops for yoga studios, physical therapy and Pilates studios, educational institutions, fitness centers, health-related practices, and conferences
“I look forward to hearing from you.”
