Upright Wisdom
Six sensory-motor learning experiences to gently improve your posture, reduce pain, and restore your body's ability to be comfortably upright. Taught by Feldenkrais Trainer David Zemach-Bersin.
GET STARTED
Your ticket to upright posture, comfort, and ease
Your skeleton is capable of supporting you, upright, despite the constant downward pull of gravity. When your musculoskeletal system is well organized, gravity’s force travels through your body in a simple, stress-free way. But if you have developed asymmetrical postural habits or a forward-leaning posture, gravity’s force can intensify your muscular discomfort, exacerbate joint problems, and put limits on your upright comfort.
Use this six-lesson program to improve some of your most important musculoskeletal patterns; those that support your ability to be upright in a healthy, comfortable, relaxed, and well-coordinated way. Experience the rewards of doing Feldenkrais lessons in a prone position as you refresh key brain pathways, strengthen essential connections, and restore a healthy balance to your neuromuscular system. Perfect for anyone seeking relief from back pain—including sciatica, neck, shoulder, and hip pain, and general discomfort. These lessons will help you release long-held chronic tension, so you can engage in all your upright activities with greater comfort, flexibility, intelligence, and ease.

"I think this series is probably the one that my body needed the most. I just did the first lesson in the series again... when I got up at the end, my back felt like a 40-year-old's again."

Enjoy the Feldenkrais Method with David Zemach-Bersin
“Some of our most important neuromuscular patterns formed when we were very young, during ‘tummy-time.’ As we lay on our stomachs, our brains learned to orient our heads and necks in space, to coordinate our eyes, and to organize our muscles in response to gravity. We developed neuromuscular patterns that allowed us to crawl, stand, and walk. Those patterns became the foundation of our upright posture and still influence our lives today. That’s why Feldenkrais lessons done lying on one’s front can have such profound results! They have fundamental reorganizing potential. I think they’re an antidote to the problems of postural forwardness that so many of us suffer with in our daily lives.”
