Online somatic movement classes: Learn these gentle but powerful self-care techniques to bring new mobility, intelligence, sensation, control to the muscles, and teach the brain to bring muscles to their optimum resting length. We will avoid stretch and pain, and approach the nervous system in an entirely different way. This movement technique, based on the work of the late neuromuscular pioneer, Thomas Hanna PhD, reverses and releases the contractive patterns present in your nervous system, the imprint of your history, both emotional and physical trauma. You can teach your nervous system a calmer setting, excellent for stress reduction. If your nervous system is more calm, your intelligence is more available to you, perfect for what we need right now, which is to be more resilient, adaptable, and better creative problem solvers!
Wear comfortable, flexible clothing, and have a chair, mat or padded firm surface, and several folded towels and/or 3 yoga blankets ready as elevation, props.
Location: Online Zoom platform. (if you are new to zoom, you must download the app at zoom.us prior to class. It takes about 10 min to do so, and is free, but don’t leave it to the last minute.)
Policy for Late Arrivals: Kindly arrive no later than 5 min prior to the start of class. The zoom is open 15 min early. Late arrivals after the start of class may not be admitted.
