Somatic Movement Education - Change the Way You Move, Change
the Way You Live - Somatic Movement Education re-awakens our inherent agility and expands our
possibilities for moving effortlessly in all we do.
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).
These movement awareness practices invite quiet mind, a deep unwinding and
endless discovery. This work stems from Somatic Unwinding, Hanna Somatics,
the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique, Skinner Releasing, BrainDance &
my twenty years as a somatic movement educator.
Discover the
amazing capacity of your nervous system for somatic releasing, resourcing
and re-education.
The 8 BrainDance movement patterns
focus on the fundamental movement patterns which
originally wired our brain/central nervous system. These patterns are the
foundation for all movement and support optimal movement & cognitive
function in any activity you do. Bring agility, balance, strength and
ease to all of the movement activities in your life.
BrainDance is an excellent cognitive and physical warm up. The
re-patterning will improve any physical activity you enjoy.
We can expand our possibilities for moving and thus living.
A five minute standing BrainDance is a wonderful work break.
Private Sessions with Jean are by appointment.

Soma
Yoga:
A modern yoga with ancient roots.
Bring the wisdom of somatic movement
education into your yoga & meditation practice.
Chronic tension patterns change as the body regains its innate
ability to self-correct to ease and efficiency (neuromuscular
re-patterning). These practices support
agility, equanimity, quiet mind and endless discovery. Somatic
movement Education liberates us from layers of involuntary holding patterns,
expanding our possibilities for moving and thus, living. Awareness of habitual moving,
thinking and attention patterns is possible; and with awareness sits
liberation. In private sessions, Jean draws from Somatic Unwinding,
Hanna Somatics, The teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais, Skinner Releasing, The
Alexander Technique, the developmental movement patterns of BrainDance,
Improvisational Movement and
her twenty six years as a yoga & meditation teacher, dancer and somatic
educator.
Private Sessions with Jean, founder of Soma Yoga are by
appointment.
