Sex-The Feldenkrais®Way for Women - CD or Download
by Donna Ray, M.A., M.F.T.

In the 1940's, a medical doctor named Arnold Kegel developed a series of exercises for women with urinary problems and women who had poor muscle tone in their vaginas. These sequences were actually adapted from sexual exercises practiced in India for thousands of years. Most women have heard about Kegels and know that they can help women have longer, deeper, more profound orgasms, in some cases making sex enjoyable for the first time. Now Donna Ray, Feldenkrais Educator & psychotherapist, has added Feldenkrais Movements to the Kegel exercises, magnifying the power, breadth, and scope of sexual proficiency available to women.
