June 19 “Core to the Floor” Part 1. This group of 3 classes offers a comprehensive exploration and freeing of torso, legs and details of ankles, feet, with different movement sequences in each class. Each class can also stand on its own! (pun intended ;-).

June 26 ”Core to the Floor Part 2” more solutions for torso to feet.

July 3 “Core to the Floor Part 3” more solutions for torso to feet.

July 10 “Silky Shoulders, Neck, jaw” will address the whole torso, but focusses on upper body issues, pain or tension in the shoulder girdle, neck area, skull, jaw. We will use gentle somatic techniques to free the brain and nervous system from old habits of tension.

Audio recordings come with each class, so if you miss a live class from the bundle, you have the recording to enjoy. Classes are approximately 75-80 min.

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 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 10 min to do so, and is free)

Policy for Late Arrivals: Kindly arrive no later than 5 min prior to the start of class. Late arrivals after the start of class may not be admitted.

Thanks for your support and understanding with this issue!
