Wednesdays Series 4, Jan 6, 13, 20, 27, 2021

Jan 6: “Somatics for Silky Spacious Shoulders” applies these gentle but powerful movement techniques to 360 degrees of shoulder movement. In the process, we will interact with muscles of the ribs, spine, pelvis, and effect change to function of the arm, wrist, hand. 

Jan 13: “Increasing Somatic Intelligence for Torso, Legs, Feet” We will re-pattern muscles from the center out to the feet, including attention to all sides of the pelvis, upper, lower legs and feet. 

Jan 20: “Comfort, Ease for Hands, Wrists, Arms, Shoulders” This class will offer some detailed re-patterning of muscles of fingers, hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and then bring the movement back to center. 

Jan 27: “Creative Somatic Explorations in Space” We will use somatic strategies, pandiculation, and gentle movement exploration in a very playful and creative way, letting our body speak. It has a lot to say! These explorations can be adapted to standing or sitting versions to keep everyone safe. Let’s create a playful conversation between you and your splendid brain/body/nervous system!

Pay it Forward Payment option: My prices are still extremely low to support people still experiencing financial stress during this covid time. I have included a ‘Pay it Forward’ Option for the Class Bundles. If you can afford a little more for these valuable classes with audio recordings, please choose the ‘Pay it Forward’ option when purchasing the 4 Class Bundles. Your contribution will help support me your fellow humans who cannot afford anything extra just now. Thank you in advance for choosing this option!

What you will need: comfortable, flexible clothing, a chair, a mat or other padding for the floor, several towels or blankets folded as props, and a quiet place for your somatic movement practice. Practice setting up your device so that I can see all of you on your mat. Avoid back lighting like a bright window, as I wont be able to see you.

Policy for Late Arrivals: Kindly arrive at least 5 min prior to the start of class. Late arrivals after the start of class may not be admitted. It is distracting to the class, teacher, and recording process. If you are late and not admitted, you will have access to the audio recording the next day.

Please sign up 24 hrs in advance if at all possible. If you are last minute, you run the risk of me not seeing your registration in time, and you won’t have the link for the live class.

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!   :-)
