Podcast: Wisdom Stripes with Meg Tuohey
Published On: Thu Feb 26 2026
Description: What if chronic tension, anxiety, and pain aren’t fixed with more effort — but with awareness? In this episode, Meg Tuohey sits down with 80-year-old Feldenkrais practitioner LeAnn Brightwell to explore how conscious movement can rewire the nervous system and restore vitality at any age. LeAnn was among the final students trained directly by Moshe Feldenkrais. She explains: • Why stretching and strength training don’t change movement patterns • How anxiety blocks access to your inner self • What “Awareness Through Movement” does neurologically • Why slow movement is more powerful than force • How she maintains strength, flexibility, and energy at 80 This conversation challenges everything we think we know about aging, healing, and the body’s capacity to change. 🎁 Win a 1:1 Session with Meg Celebrate HeartPrint by entering to win a private 30-minute session.
