Discover the amazing capacity of your nervous system for somatic releasing, resourcing and re-education. Somatic Movement Education re-awakens our inherent agility and expands our possibilities for moving effortlessly in all we do. 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 and meditations invite quiet mind, a deep unwinding, endless discovery and awakening.
This work draws from Somatic Unwinding, Hanna Somatics, the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais, the Alexander Technique, Skinner Releasing & Open Source Forms, Embodied Anatomy, BrainDance neurodevelopmental movement patterns and my thirty years as a somatic movement educator, dancer, Soma Yoga & meditation teacher.
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.

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.
