Testimonials

“ Jean is an incredibly wise and inspiring teacher. Her ability to bring students into a deep state of rest and relaxation is unparalleled. She combines a lifetime of education in various branches of somatic research into classes that feel both enlivening and restorative."
- Julie Verdone, Somatic Movement Educator and Certified Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analyst

"During my session with Jean, she led me through a series of simple movement practices. Guided gently by her voice, I was transported from clock time to earth time, from the mat in my living room to the depths of my being where I experienced great ease and fullness. The movement practices are nearly effortless, yet profoundly moving. I have found great nourishment in my years of studying with Jean.  She is unique among teachers in her ability to infuse each session with both profundity and lightness. "

"I've been studying Somatic Movement with Jean Hindle for three months and have noticed significant changes in my overall awareness of and comfort in my body. Somatic Movement & Soma Yoga focus on undoing subtle and often unseen movement habits, making it easier to move through the day without discomfort or stress.  I've noticed that I walk more smoothly and - especially - sit at the computer with more ease (resulting in shoulders that still function at the end of the day). These practices provide a rich way to engage the body in new ways of moving. Jean Hindle teaches with meticulous care and precision.”

"The best relaxing and rejuvenating way to reconnect to the deliciousness of experiencing my body.
  The combination of her gentle voice and knowledge of physiological references with creative imagery invites an incredible freedom of movement.  Her guidance makes it so easy to move.  It doesn't feel like a practice; It feels like a gift.”
