EASE INTO MINDFUL MOVEMENT
8-Weeks To Better Body Maps
Tap into the power and wisdom of your body to meet life's challenges with grace & inner ease.
EASE INTO MINDFUL MOVEMENT IS RIGHT FOR YOU IF…
You want to wake up without feeling stiff & achy. You’re tired of feeling your age has caught up with you. You want to feel comfortable in your body again.
You want to support your brain health as you age. You know you must move more to nourish your nervous system. You’re just not sure where to start.
You want to optimize your joint health. You’re pretty sure your moving habits are contributing to your joint pain. You’re ready to move in a way that helps to heal and prepare rather than cause wear and tear.
You’re new to the Feldenkrais Method and want an introduction that will get you moving and better understand some of the theory behind the practice.
The Problem Is...
You feel completely overwhelmed and unsure where to begin.
+
Your memory isn’t what it used to be and you’re uncertain how movement can help.
+
You struggle with making new habits stick and shy away from goals and commitments.
+
You keep moving in a way that causes more wear and tear.
+
Feelings of stress or anxiety often zap your energy.
+
It’s hard to focus, and your mind runs a million miles a minute.
+
YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE!
This 8-week program will guide you through the process of tapping into your brain's ability to change, move beyond a current challenge, or nurture a curiosity. You'll discover the power and wisdom in your biology to meet life's challenges with grace and ease. And you'll be well on your way to cultivating a lifetime mindful movement habit.
We'll explore an Embodied Knowledge video and three short Attune To Awareness Practices each week. Why? So that you can deepen your learning by engaging both your cognitive mind and your body. But it isn't just the learning we're after. I'll also guide you through my signature process of turning these movement practices into potent moments of healing and personal growth through neuro-rewiring.
By the end of this series, you'll also better understand some of the Feldenkrais principles you can apply to your movement explorations and how you move through life.
WHY BODY MAPS?
Your body is mapped out in your brain. You can think of this as a virtual body that can be exercised, conditioned, and transformed. And the more refined your virtual body is, the better you’ll move.
But that’s not all.
When you engage with those body maps in your brain, you create a powerful state in your nervous system that can help improve memory, transform habits, and change how you feel. Goodbye, unnecessary stress.
Your nervous system is the living network that passes messages back and forth in your body. It impacts everything — your experience of pain, your fight-or-flight responses, cognitive functions, the function of the digestive system, your immune system… everything!
Often, the hidden changes in your nervous system keep you moving in a way that causes wear and tear. Reversing those changes is possible, but it takes time and intentional action.

Experience a safe space dedicated to reconnecting with yourself! We’ll explore tried and tested tools and personalized practices so you can listen to the whispers and wisdom of your body and let them shape your magnificent midlife.
One Somatic Strategy Session: We’ll clarify why you’re here, how I can best support you, and create a schedule that’s right for you.
Nine Embodied Wellness Sessions: We'll take some time to settle into the session with a short practice. Then, we'll shift into a dialogue full of deep listening and poignant questions. From there, we may explore a bit of breathwork or do a personalized embodiment practice to help bring a greater sense of clarity and solidify the transformation you're after.
Private Library: You’ll have a sacred space within the online studio that houses your custom practices, recordings, session notes, and recommendations.
Private Chat Support: The online studio offers a safe place for us to chat. As part of the container, you’ll receive chat support between sessions (Mon-Fri).

What You’ll Get
PART 1
Buffy’s signature 8-part embodied knowledge video training series
When you learn about your biology, you can fear it less – the stress, the aches & pains, and the aging. More importantly, you begin to understand how to utilize the brilliance of your biology to create intentional and sustainable change.
01
Body Maps: Understand how all that you do or don’t do impacts your brain and how your brain impacts your movement. When this clicks, you’ll start moving in a way that heals and repairs rather than causing wear and tear.
02
04
Activating Neuroplasticity: Everything is easier when you understand how to activate your brain for powerful change. You’ll discover why this matters if you’re older than 25. Plus, when you know how to activate the neuroplastic state, you can improve your memory, shift habits with ease, and so much more.
03
Novelty: Novelty is a potent ingredient for creating a neuroplastic state. But how do you access it in the mundane? Discover how to cultivate a sense of novelty on demand.
08
Interoception: Tap into the power of your internal reference system. At the most basic level, interoception allows you to answer the question, "How do I feel?" But it also helps you to manage the way you feel by prompting you to take action based on the body signals you notice.
05
Quality Of Action: Discover four qualities of movement that you can use to anchor your awareness and as signposts along your path toward living embodied & well.
06
Primitive Balance: Understand the role that your primitive reflexes play in dynamic balance and how to utilize them to grow, heal, and change.
07
Postural Balance: Stop going against the flow. Embrace and refine your natural movement responses for greater resilience, comfort, and ease.
Know It In Your Bones: Develop your skeletal awareness and clarify how forces move through you so your movement feels effortless.
PART 2
24 Of Buffy’s exclusive Attune To Awareness practices.
You’ll receive 24 downloadable audio lessons that are 15 minutes or less. These short practices will spark up your nervous system and help you to easily cultivate your mindful movement habit.

Better Breathing: A free and resilient breath is crucial for healthy movement and overall well-being. We’ll spend the first few weeks exploring the breath so that you have a foundation for change.
5
Head & Spine Integration: These five Attune To Awareness practices are perfect for those who tend to hold tension in their jaws, neck, or back. Some of these moves might become your go-to mid-day mini-movement break.
Shoulder Ease: We can’t reach for the change we want if our shoulders are tense. With these six practices, you’ll tap into the intimate relationship that your shoulders have with your rib basket and spine so that you can have more ease, grace, and power to reach for what you want in life.
4
Hip Joint Freedom: The hip joints are often elusive. But they’re also the major go-between in force transmissions when we walk, run, jump, or skip. With these seven practices, you’ll start to clarify your hip joints and find more power and potency as you move through the world.
Wall Play: Hands on the wall can be a potent and powerful way to play. You’ll feel the connections from your feet to your fingers and gain more mobility in your shoulders. These two practices are perfect for days when you’ve been stuck at your desk for too long.
PART 3
A Custom Somatic Insights Journal.
This work is about so much more than movement. With the right tools, you can meet life’s challenges with grace and experience profound growth. Enter the Somatic Insgihts Journal.
Everything about this custom journal is designed to tap into the power of your nervous system to facilitate the transformation you need on and off the Feldenkrais Mat.

SHARED EXPERIENCES
I’m Buffy Owens, and I want you to understand the language of your body so that you can fully experience life & have the impact you desire.
Now more than ever, we need embodied, attuned, and empathic presence. As human beings, our very essence is woven from connection - the innate desire to co-regulate, co-heal, and co-evolve.
We have the opportunity to change the world together.
Our culture has prioritized the search for fullness, nourishment, and connection outside of ourselves and our bodies. It’s a culture that leads to disintegration and feelings of separation. I believe returning to a sense of wholeness and deep connection is possible. That’s why I’m passionate about teaching people how to understand the language of their bodies so that they can listen to the wisdom from within.
This often looks like cultivating safety in our biology, laying a foundation for nourishment, and tapping into the potency of gentle movement and the power of breathwork. So, please join me in exploring how to live embodied and well.
