Welcome to Wise Move Studio
Movement for a more flexible body, mind, and entire self
My students find their way to Wise Move Studio for all kinds of reasons. Some people love to learn and experience new possibilities. Others are looking for ways to feel better and make the most of their recovery from illness, surgery, or other issues or shock in their life.
The Feldenkrais Method engages you in movement lessons that break up your old habits and help you learn new ones. Most of my students experience immediate benefits from the reduced tension in their body and renewed sense of ease as they move. With sustained practice and skilled guidance of a teacher, many people find that their investment in this process is an integral part of their health and well-being.
So, congratulations to you for looking into new ways to help yourself experience a greater quality of life! Please reach out below. I look forward to hearing from you.
Meet Mary
Mary Rudd worked for thirty years in the public and private education sector as a teacher, administrator, visiting instructor at Centre College and consultant for the Kentucky Department of Education and several educational non-profit organizations.
A 2016 graduate of the Feldenkrais Training Program of Baltimore, Mary now devotes her professional life to somatic education, which she views as a natural progression in her passion for the science of learning and teaching, human growth and development, the body and embodiment, and contemplative studies.
After years of living with the effects of knee injuries, surgeries, and long hours of travel for work, Mary was able to re-educate herself for smarter, more efficient movement patterns through her dedicated study of the Feldenkrais Method®. Under the instruction of several teachers of the method, she studies and refines her skills to help others with their own improvements and learning. Mary continues her own personal practice of Feldenkrias Awareness Through Movement® lessons to remind her brain and body of what is possible.

"Each lesson has taught me about the connection between my mind, body, and the environment around me. I have a new awareness about how I am feeling on a daily basis and have learned processes to help center myself. It is hard to put into words the positive impact of the Feldenkrais method in my life, but it inspires incredible belief in the potential of the mind and body to function more cohesively and efficiently to live more connected and pain free."
Katherine W.
“An ‘Awareness Through Movement’ class that I'm taking has opened up my thinking considerably. In it, you're encouraged to stay curious, to realize that there are many options other than what you turn to by habit, and to allow yourself to wonder without needing immediate answers. It's amazing where that can take you."
Ruth M.
"When someone asks me why I take Feldenkrais classes, I tell them it’s because it makes me feel so good... Gentle mindful movements are used to explore safe and easy ways to move. Being aware of the movements helps me use my body in the best way I can. When I take an evening session I find I sleep really well that night. When I take a morning session, my day is clearer and brighter. Mary is a wonderful teacher."
