Oh Babies!

February 9, 2026/in Awareness Through Movement, Feldenkrais Method, Weekly Newsletter /by Gika Rector

The article below was featured in my February 9, 2026, e‑mail newsletter. To subscribe to the newsletter, please use my contact form.

Dear Reader,

Well, Grandma Gika is pretty absorbed with twin grand babies at the moment. They’re both home and beginning to settle into a routine. Mom and Dad are rather sleep deprived, and managing amazingly well. They even still have a sense of humor!

I have some experience hanging out with newborns, and still, being with these guys is a great reminder of some of life’s basics. Newborns have a lot to do in these early days: eat, sleep, pee and poop—and grow. And occasionally look around at this whole new world.

I suppose it could sound corny or trite, but hanging out with newborns is a great way to slow down, do the basics, and pay attention to what’s important. In this case, to appreciate how precious life is. Other important things: diapers, laundry, food, sleep—and maybe a bit of humor.

For a little while, I’ll be limiting my private appointments, but we’ll continue with the weekly online class.

Here’s the basic info:

Our weekly online Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson is on Tuesdays at 11:30 am (Central Time) and it’s still Free/Pay as You Wish.

For an in-person experience, I’m offering Lift Your Heart: A Feldenkrais Mini-Retreat on Saturday afternoon, February 28, at the Jung Center of Houston.

If you’d like to work with me privately, in person or online—Feldenkrais, coaching or felt-making—you can Book an Appointment or reply to this email and let me know what you’re interested in.
