Short, daily mindful movement practice
A calming reset
I also didn’t expect Pauseture to feel a little like meditation. I thought I would prefer videos, but the audio-guided approach is actually less stressful. It helps me focus on how my body feels and relax, instead of worrying about doing every movement perfectly.
I especially like using it in the middle of a busy day. It gives me a chance to slow down, clear my mind, relax my body, and reset.
With a 7-day free trial, I’d definitely encourage people to give it a try and see if it’s a good fit for them!

Thank you for taking time to leave your review. While we have a "Tying Shoes" function available in our search filters, I don't think many people filter for that. But, here is the truth about our lessons. Every lesson helps every thing, so while you may use Pauseture for a daily pause to move through your day more calmly, you notice shoe tying easier, your focus improves, aches and pains begin to fade away. This is a whole body mind approach with benefits. Doing the lessons to stay present and curious with them, with no goal, often leads to the greatest benefits. Beverly, Founder
Mindful Exercises
Since these are audio-based exercises (which seems better, so one doesn’t have to strain to see the screen), sometimes it was difficult to follow what the instructor was saying; for example, while lying down the instruction would be “bring your arms forward” and it was hard to visualize since the arms were already forward, when what was meant was “arms up towards the ceiling”.
Overall, this has helped me be more mindful and aware of how my body processes stress and tension, and it has taught me to relax and observe.
Response from developer
Thank you for a month of practice and for this thoughtful reflection. "Taught me to relax and observe" — that's the whole method right there. On the confusion with instructions. When the brain has to figure out a movement from the inside rather than copying what it sees, or knowing exactly what to do immediately, it fires up in a completely different way. It's in that confusion — that internal searching — where the deepest neurological changes happen. Clarity and perfection keep us on autopilot, without curiosity. Uncertainty opens us to learning. We've intentionally made our intro lessons easier to follow than classic Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons — which can be far more confusing. Think of Pauseture as the on-ramp. As you continue and explore deeper into the library, you'll find the lessons become more nuanced and the instructions more layered. Getting comfortable with that confusion is part of the journey — and the pleasure of finding what feels right for you in the process is where real change lives. — Beverly, Founder
Game Changer
I’ve been regularly using this app for about two months. It has really helped me to expand my practice in realistic time frames. I can address tight hips in a ten minute time frame over my lunch break and feel re-energized for the rest of my day. Or if I have an event at the end of the day I can recharge and feel physically and mentally soothed and ready to go out and dance and socialize.
It’s really helped me to realize that rushing around stressed out and in pain does not have to be a default mode. Finally, the filter is excellent for individualizing anyone’s issues and goals through a wide variety of teachers and teaching styles.
Response from developer
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Complimenting live lessons with Pauseture is a powerful combination. As I like to say, one live lesson can feel life changing, and consistent practice can change your life. The app was built for exactly this — expanding what you learn in the room into the moments between classes, whenever you need it. So glad you're dancing and socializing with more ease. — Beverly, Founder
Even better now
Response from developer
Thank you for taking the time to share this. We hear versions of this story. People either feel a dramatic change, feel better and quit. Or, feel subtle changes and think it can't possibly be our lessons. But, once you quit, you miss what was supportive in your daily life. Pauseture was designed to be something you can return to regularly—without pressure, performance, or urgency. Thank you for taking the time to update your review to reflect where you are now in your journey. — Beverly, Founder
It works for me
Response from developer
Thank you for taking the time to share your journey. Enjoying the lessons, and being surprised with outcomes is a great approach. I know from experience that consistency matters, so I appreciate your commitment to keep going. — Beverly, Founder
Standing Straighter and Feeling Less Pain
Response from developer
Thank you for sharing your experience. I was surprised too when I began practicing how my own long-standing hunched posture quietly opened up. And when we learn that posture isn't just about standing straighter, it's about finding new choices in movement. And when we're moving more efficiently, it frees up cognitive bandwidth to think more clearly. Many people come to Pauseture for the pain. But the benefits tend to be so much more than they expected. You've truly tapped into what a consistent, playful practice can unlock. So grateful you've already shared it with family. — Beverly, Founder
Road tripping with Pauseture
Unfortunately, I don’t always feel comfortable during long intervals of travel.
I often experience pain during long car rides. I find it demanding to reach back to parent the kids in the backseat, the hauling and constant packing and unpacking, and the sleeping on unfamiliar mattresses…
This summer, I’ve been reaching for Pauseture as a quick tool to take care of myself on the road.
I’m amazed by how even a short lesson can leave my spine feeling more comfortable, and restore me to state of presence that supports my parenting.
It’s not always easy to find a quiet place to practice in. But I find with AirPods I can create a bubble of space and time to do a short lesson in privacy.
This summer I’m feeling grateful for the convenience and self care available through this app!
Response from developer
"A bubble of space and time" is such a beautiful description of exploring a lesson in Pauseture. What we hear so often is that finding time to come back to yourself makes you more present for everyone else. So glad Pauseture is traveling with you this summer and I hope it stays in your toolkit year round. — Beverly, Founder

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review even before finishing the intro series. Keep going, with consistency, changes continue to happen. — Beverly, Founder
Helps with body alignment and posture
Response from developer
Thank you for sharing your experience. It can be surprising how subtle little movements can reorganize your posture. I was surprised myself how easy it could be, which is why I built Pauseture, to help others find an easier way to move and feel. And the variety of teachers and lessons keep your brain fired up for learning. I'm so grateful when people take the time to share what they've noticed with practice. - Beverly, Founder
Nice!
Response from developer
Thank you so much for sharing this. It means so much to hear Pauseture has helped you build consistency, especially with a physical job and ADHD in the mix. Those 10-20 minute sessions are designed exactly for days like that. And whenever you have more time to sink into a practice, we've also got longer 30-minute lessons waiting for you. So glad you're feeling the benefits both in muscle release and in how you start and end your day! - Beverly, Founder
It works for me

So good!
A Transformative Experience
Also, I'm recovering from depression and navigating perimenopause, both of which have affected my cognitive function. These lessons help me get out of my head and reconnect with my body, leaving me feeling calmer, clearer, and more present. I'm very grateful I found this app and would gladly recommend it.

Response from developer
Thank you for the kind words. I'm so glad Pauseture has become part of your daily routine, and especially glad to hear it's helping you build more awareness of your posture and movement given how physically demanding your job is. That kind of body awareness throughout the day is exactly what Feldenkrais is all about. Thanks for finding us and taking the time to share. - Beverly, Founder
Posture & Immediate Relief From Muscle Pain Right on My Phonr
The gentle, mindful movements helped me identify and shift the subtle, bad posture habits I had developed to protect my joints. Pauseture is teaching me how to move with ease, efficiency, and zero strain. Because the movements are incredibly gentle and respectful of your physical limits, I always finish a session feeling a profound and immediate release in tension and significantly less joint pressure.
It doesn't just treat the symptoms; it teaches how to move throughout the day, making walking, sitting, and reaching with more comfort. If you feel stiffness, joint pain or muscle tension, give Pauseture a chance. The flexibility of the app's library and the relief it brings has truly improved my mobility!
Response from developer
Thank you for this — "it doesn't just treat the symptoms, it teaches how to move throughout the day" is exactly what Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement is designed to do. Your brain is literally learning new movement options, and your joints get to stop bracing. So glad Pauseture is bringing you relief and ease. Keep exploring the library — there is so much more waiting for you. — Beverly, Founder
Skeptical at first, but now a believer!
But, Pauseture is great for me because there is no ambient noise and there is no right or wrong way to perform a movement. I can just tune in and listen to where my body is on that specific day.
And, the text reminders are gentle nudges that I actually welcome.
I started Pauseture because of back pain from sitting at a desk all day. After using Pauseture for a couple months, my back pain has definitely decreased. I continue to maintain my back health but have also become more aware of the rest of my body. The Pauseture library is a great resource to fine tune my exercise plan based on my body’s constantly changing needs. Give it a try!
Response from developer
Thank you for taking the time to share you went from skeptic to appreciating the use of our app. Back pain from sitting at a desk all day is rarely just about the back — it's about how the whole body has organized itself around that position over time. The fact that you're now noticing the rest of your body is exactly the right direction. That whole-body awareness is where the lasting change comes from. Keep exploring. The library will meet you wherever you are. You can choose lying down lessons when wanting to relax. Or you can filter for a seated lesson while will improve your awareness how you're sitting, so you can find greater comfort in sitting.— Beverly, Founder
Good Daily Exercise
Response from developer
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad it helps you establish a daily practice. Spending time giving attention to your body is what we're all about. Our audio lessons work differently than traditional stretching or exercise: it's a way for your nervous system to better integrate how your mind and body communicate, so you can do things with greater efficiency and less effort. The audio-only format can be confusing and possibly frustrating, at times, and that is by design, as your brain changes the most when you find change from the inside out, instead of copying a demonstration. It's a practice to get into a beginner's mindset about our own body, that can have amazing results over time - Beverly, Founder
Appreciate this app
Response from developer
Thank you for sharing your experience. With regular practice, people often notice that as tension eases, movement feels more coordinated and balanced. Rather than effort coming from isolated areas, the body begins to move more as a whole, which can make daily activities feel more comfortable over time. We appreciate you recommending Pauseture.
Much more than I expected!
Response from developer
Thank you for bringing your physical therapy background to the practice. "The impact is big for a short time investment" is exactly what we hope people discover. The second set of 21 lessons (20 to 30 minute lessons) is where many people find even deeper changes. So grateful to have a PT experience this firsthand. The Feldenkrais Method is a wonderful complement to any PT program. - Beverly, Founder
