Dayana Pereira

Dayana Pereira is a somatic educator who grew up in Uruguay, where she came across the Feldenkrais Method at twenty. She moved to the United States in 2004 and spent the following years studying bodywork, martial arts, mindfulness and energy work, and in 2009 she finished the four-year training to become a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner. She has since added massage, Reiki to master level, NLP, breathwork and XPT performance coaching, and has spent time learning from traditional medicine women in Kenya. In 2018 she opened her own practice in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.

Her classes rest on slow, small, attentive movement in the Feldenkrais style known as Awareness Through Movement, joined with breath and quiet inner listening. She invites people to notice habits of bracing or hurrying and to try gentler options, and she ties this body awareness to emotional honesty and spiritual inquiry, seeing embodiment as the stage that lets insight be lived day to day. She sees clients at her Doylestown studio and online, and runs ONE, a membership with five practice pathways, live classes twice a month and a library of recordings. On Insight Timer she shares short guided somatic practices for mornings, evenings and grounding, and holds free live events there.
