Education
The Movement Study deeply values instructor and client education. Opportunities for continued learning span from casual study sessions to continuing education workshops, to a full teacher training program.
Study Sessions
Informal discussion-based Study Sessions (in-person and virtual) engage our movement community, encourage autonomy, and support self care and development. Appropriate for ANY practitioner, client or student, these group sessions will increase your movement knowledge and feel empowered. Recordings available to all participants.
Study Session
Understanding the Pelvic Floor
with Rachel Feinerman
Wednesday May 6th, 2026 | 5-6pm
Fee: $40
Did you know rolling your foot on a ball can stimulate your pelvic floor? Should I cue the pelvic floor in exercise? Where exactly is my pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor can be a confusing and mystifying area of the body. This workshop will focus on an overview of the anatomy of the pelvic floor and understanding its movements and relationships to your pelvis, hips, respiration and core. Moving beyond Kegels, we'll begin to explore recoil, breath, contraction and stretch through dedicated exercises, Pilates exercises, and everyday movement.
Workshops
Studying movement and how it affects the body and the mind is an ongoing journey. At The Movement Study, continuing education workshops are curated to provide cutting-edge research and inspire clients and professionals alike. Offered quarterly, these workshops will be led by top-notch movement and wellness experts and will be available in person and virtual simultaneously.
