Functional Integration®
One-on-one sessions tailored to your needs, intentions, and movement experience through gentle touch and guided movement.
Explore Functional Integration →The Feldenkrais Method is a gentle approach to somatic education that uses movement and awareness to help you discover new possibilities for how you move, learn, and function.With Bob Chapra, explore movement without force or pressure—and discover what becomes possible when you learn to pay closer attention to yourself.
We often try to change our bodies by pushing harder.
Feldenkrais takes a different approach.
Through gentle movement and directed attention, you can notice habitual patterns, explore alternatives, and discover ways of moving with greater ease and efficiency.
It isn’t about finding the “right” movement.
It’s about discovering more choices.

One-on-one sessions tailored to your needs, intentions, and movement experience through gentle touch and guided movement.
Explore Functional Integration →Verbally guided lessons that invite you to explore coordination, balance, awareness, and more efficient movement.
Explore Awareness Through Movement →Classes designed to help you develop greater body awareness and discover new movement possibilities at your own pace.
Explore Feldenkrais Classes →Begin by paying attention to what you already do. How do you breathe? How do you sit? Where do you use effort?
Try gentle movement variations without forcing yourself toward a particular result.
Notice differences. Your experience becomes information, and information becomes learning.
Bring what you discover into everyday activities—walking, sitting, reaching, and turning.
The goal isn’t to move perfectly. The goal is to discover more possibilities.
Every person comes to Feldenkrais with a different story. Some discover greater ease in familiar movements.
Others become more aware of long-standing habits. Many appreciate having a place to slow down, pay attention, and explore without pressure.

“The Awareness Through Movement lessons helped me become more aware of how I move and how much unnecessary effort I was using.”

“I feel more balanced, less tense, and more connected to myself after each lesson.”

“Functional Integration sessions with Bob helped me find ease in movement I thought would never feel comfortable again.”
