Sat series 14, Sept 11, 18, 25, ’21

Sept 11 “Everyday Basic Somatic Movements” reviews (or introduces) some foundation movements that address the torso in 3 dimensions, 3 relationships to gravity, with a variety of moves to help resolve stiffness, pain, and improve the quality of communication between your brain and body, and deep somatic self. 

Sept 18 “Somatic Focus on Neck, Shoulders, Torso” offers floor and sitting sequences to restore ease, space, comfort, decompression to upper body and spine. 

Sept 25 “Somatic movement to Self-nurture” invites the powerful perspectives of gratitude and appreciation into our somatic practice. We will not only nourish our muscles, fascia, discs, bones, nervous system, organs, with new blood flow and mobility, but bath our bodies in the warmth of loving self-appreciation. 

These classes may be purchased as a 3 class bundle, discount price or Pay it Forward option (see below), or as single classes. Audio recordings come with each class, so if you miss a live class from the bundle, you have the recording to enjoy. Also, I divide the recordings into 2 or more sections to make it more user friendly. Live Classes are approximately 75-90 min. If you wish to share comments or ask questions after class, you are welcome. Zoom platform. Links will arrive the day before class.  Zoom room will be open 15 min early. Please arrive at least 5 min early so that we may begin on time. Late arrivals may not be admitted, but you will have access to the recording the next day.

Pay it forward option: If you choose the pay it forward price, which adds just a little to the class price, you support me and your fellow somatic community members who are experiencing financial stress. Thanks for your support!

Please register at least 24 hrs in advance of the class (minimum) and preferably at your earliest convenience.

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. It is distracting to the class, teacher, and recording process. If you are late and not admitted, you will have access to the recording the next day. Thanks for your support and understanding with this issue!
