My name is Lisa Hueske and I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. I lived my teenage years in Cleveland, Ohio before going to the University of Texas at Austin. After receiving my BFA in Dance from UT, I became a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Teacher® at the New York Feldenkrais® Teacher Training under the tutelage of Dr. Larry Goldfarb.

I have been a Movement Educator for over 20 years and currently teach at Austin Feldenkrais® and Ballet Austin. As well as being an educator, I have been dancing professionally for many independent choreographers and companies in the great city of Austin for over two decades.

I continue to practice and learn from teachers in dance, yoga, meditation, and other somatic and spiritual studies to help me continue to grow as a Feldenkrais® Teacher, dance teacher, choreographer, and performer. I am also an experienced outdoors person and believe it is vital for my health and others to spend time in the elements of nature: whether it’s in the backyard, a walk in the neighborhood, the rural mountains, the ocean, etc. I think that everyone needs fresh air, some sunlight, and dirt in order to maintain wellness.

Through the brilliant work of Feldenkrais®, I became interested in moving “smarter and not stronger,” and recovered from acute, chronic, traumatic injuries, and gained natural strength. I currently use this method of movement education to help myself and my clients develop awareness of the mind/body, prevent and recover from injuries, enhance physical and artistic performance, and increase comfort in everyday life.

I was recently featured in the Feldenkrais Guild of North America’s newsletter, SenseAbilty. The theme of the Oct 2023 Issue was “Overcoming Traumatic Experiences with the Feldenkrais Method.” To listen to an interview of my story, go HERE.
