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.
