Somatic Movements are safe and gentle movements suitable for anyone of any age. To get you started on your somatic journey I offer Introduction to Somatics Courses. It is necessary to attend one of these courses or having some 1 to 1 sessions before signing up for my regular weekly classes if you have no previous somatic movement experience. Otherwise you may feel a little overwhelmed and out of your depth as the focus is very different compared to other forms of movement practice.

Somatic movements do not stretch or strengthen muscles but use a technique called pandiculation which involves taking an already tight muscle into a deeper contraction and slowly releasing then relaxing it. On this course you will learn how to pandiculate your muscles through the use of somatic movements in order to help address lower back pain, neck and shoulder pain, sciatic and much more. Another important thing to understand is that somatic movements are neurological movements. What I mean by that is that in order to make changes in the body we need to make changes in the brain and nervous system. In essence Somatic Movements help to re establish a connection with the muscles and the brain and central nervous system to improve the function of the muscles and enable more efficient movement.
