Embodied Joy!

In this online class we begin with a short arriving meditation, 2 off camera SomaDance​ Scores to let go of your day, back on camera ( if you wish) for some Soma Yoga. ​ We then ​soften into the floor for ​some deep unwinding with somatic movement​ re-patterning and end with a lying down Somatic Bodyscan Meditation​. Because this class is online, I end class with you cuddled up under your blankets in lying down meditation so that you may stay in this relaxing parasympathetic nervous system state another 1/2 hr, an hour or more ..one student woke up the next morning!

Optimal Movement for all of the moving activities in your life: walking, running, biking, hiking, rock climbing, dancing
and more……

These sessions involve somatic movement education (including Hanna Somatics, Somatic Unwinding, the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais, Skinner Releasing Technique & Open Source Forms, Alexander Technique, BrainDance, Embodied Anatomy, Soma Yoga) and ​lying down Somatic Body Scan Meditations. 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).​ So​matic movement invites quiet mind, a deep unwinding and endless discovery.​ Awareness of habitual thinking, moving and attention patterns is possible; and with awareness sits liberation. Somatic Movement Education supports optimal movement in all of your activities.

Bodies of Work:

  • Change the Way You Move,
    Change the Way You Live

    Move optimally in all of your physical activities with somatic movement education.

    We can re-awaken our inherent agility and expand our possibilities for moving effortlessly in all we do.

    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.

    Somatic Movement Education expands our possibilities for moving and thus living.

    Discover the amazing capacity of your nervous system for somatic releasing, resourcing and re-education.

    These movement awareness practices invite quiet mind, a deep unwinding and endless discovery.

  • 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.

  • A delicious dive into structured and improvisational somatic movement explorations including the 8 neurodevelopmental BrainDance patterns.

    This class draws from somatic movement education, Skinner Releasing Technique, Open Source Forms, Alexander Technique, Embodied Anatomy, BrainDance and my lifetime of dance.

  • A flow through Soma Yoga, somatic movement (guided & improvisational), BrainDance & meditation. Bring ease, awareness and joy to all of the movement activities in your life.

  • ArtWorks! Meditation involves guided improvisational drawing & writing.

  • My teaching draws strongly from my studies, trainings and practice in meditation practices within the Zen and Tibetan Buddhist traditions. I sit in huge heartfelt thanks for the courage and teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, Ani Pema Chodron, Tsultrim Allione, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Lama Wangdor Rinpoche, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Phillip Moffitt, Russell Delman, Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach.
