Somatic Movement : : Re-Train Your Brain and Body
6 – Week Series
12 – 1pm :: Sept. 28th – Nov. 2nd
Somatic Movement utilizes slow, focused, gentle movements that actively engage the nervous system in a new learning process (neuromuscular retraining). You will gain great awareness of your body; increase mobility; improve posture; enhance coordination; reduce aches and pain, improve your breathing and develop an internal quietness and calm. Somatic Movement draws on the principles of Thomas Hanna, PhD and Clinical Somatics which helps release muscular tension and holding patterns in the body. Most of the class is done on the floor – laying on mats/ blankets. Movements are also done seated in chairs and standing. A regular practice of Somatics will enhance any other exercise and/or yoga practices and activities you enjoy. See information about the next series that focuses on the breath.
