Soma
Yoga
A
unique, yoga practice informed by somatic
movement education.
This practice of mindful movement, meditation and pranayama invites
awareness, quiet mind, a powerful unwinding and endless discovery.
These slow, gentle movement
patterns liberate us from layers of involuntary, habitual holding patterns.
Chronic tension patterns change as the body regains its innate ability to
self-correct to ease and efficiency (neuromuscular re-patterning). Awareness of habitual moving,
thinking and attention patterns is possible; and with awareness sits
liberation. Sessions always end with a ten minute
lying down meditation (savasana).
gentle, open to all
Somatic Movement Education
discover the
amazing capacity of your nervous system for somatic releasing, resourcing
and re-education
Through slow, delicious, gentle movement patterns, this
sensory-motor learning process encourages the release of muscles from
involuntary, habitual contraction. Chronic tension patterns change as
the body regains its innate ability to self-correct to ease and efficiency
(neuromuscular re-patterning). Somatic Movement Education re-awakens
our inherent agility and expands our possibilities for moving effortlessly
in all we do. This work stems from Somatic Unwinding, Hanna Somatics,
Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique, Skinner Releasing, BrainDance patterns &
my twenty years as a somatic educator.

BrainDance
An energetic movement class which winds down with gentle somatic movement
education on the floor.
BrainDance focuses on eight movement patterns which
originally wired our brain/central nervous system. These patterns are the
foundation for all movement activities. Bring agility, balance, strength and
ease to all of the movement activities in your life – and most importantly,
bring your brain to life. Discover the amazing capacity of your nervous
system for somatic releasing, resourcing and re-education.
We can expand our possibilities for moving and thus living.
BrainDance is an excellent full body & brain warm up. The
re-patterning will improve any physical activity you enjoy.
The BrainDance gets the brain ready for learning. You will learn
movement to
utilize before any activity as well as a powerful short
braindance breaks to revitalize during work.
Jean was trained
by Anne Green Gilbert, the founder of BrainDance.

Move! ~ for the love of movement
An more energetic movement class with a BrainDance warm up, African &
Brazilian dance inspired movement; ending with gentle somatic unwinding on the floor.

healthy.
