A delicious dive into somatic movement movement, SomaDance and the 8 neurodevelopmental BrainDance patterns. We also enjoy lying down Somatic Bodyscan Meditations. This class draws from somatic movement education (including Hanna Somatics, Somatic Unwinding, the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais, Skinner Releasing Technique & Open Source Forms, Alexander Technique, BrainDance, Embodied Anatomy and my thirty years of dance and yoga. Discover the amazing capacity of your nervous system for somatic releasing, resourcing and re-education. Chronic tension patterns change as the body regains its innate ability to self-correct to ease and efficiency (neuromuscular re-patterning). Meditation practices draw from Zen and Tibetan Buddhist traditions. (more in bio page). somatic movement and meditation practices invite quiet mind, a deep unwinding and endless discovery. Awareness of habitual thinking, moving and attention patterns is possible; and with awareness sits liberation. No class Nov 29 & Dec 27

Bodies of Work:
-
Change the Way You Move, Change the Way You Live
Somatic Movement Education expands our possibilities for moving and thus living.
An opportunity to re-awaken inherent agility and to move with ease. This sensory-motor learning process of non-strenuous movement patterns & explorations gives the brain the necessary feedback to release muscles from chronic habitual holding patterns (neuromuscular re-patterning).
These slow, gentle movement inquiries 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.
Discover the amazing capacity of your nervous system for somatic releasing, resourcing and re-education.
-
Bring agility, balance, strength and ease to all of the movement activities in your life.
These 8 neurodevelopmental movement patterns focus on the fundamental 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.
BrainDance is an excellent cognitive and physical warm up.
The re-patterning will improve any physical activity you enjoy.
-
A modern yoga with ancient roots.
Bring the wisdom of somatic movement education into your hatha yoga & meditation practice. These practices support agility, equanimity, quiet mind and endless discovery.
Awareness of habitual moving, thinking and attention patterns is possible; and with awareness sits liberation.
-
