Sat series 6, sept 19-Oct 3, 2020

Sept 19  “Restoring Spiral Movement to the Body” is about re-educating brain, nervous system, muscles to their full movement potential, and giving back the body’s ability to turn, twist and move with freedom. We need spirals for many every day activities, including seeing behind you while biking or driving. 

Sept 26 “Changing Kyphosis and Lordosis” focusses on the front and back of the spine and torso in a variety of positions, from floor, to all 4s, to standing. If your upper body is curved too far forward, that’s excessive kyphosis. If your low back is very arched, that’s excessive Lordosis. We can improve both with these techniques. 

Oct 3 “Somatics for more enjoyable hiking and walking” uses these great movement re-education methods for more control, balance, ease to walking and hiking. Bring the pleasure and sensuality back to one of our most basic and useful movements.

Pay it Forward Payment option: My prices are still extremely low to support people 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 your fellow humans who cannot afford anything extra just now. Thank you!

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.

Location: Online zoom platform. A link will be sent to you prior to class.

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.

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!
