Introduction to Somatic Movement  Workshops - extraordinarily gentle
Jean Hindle, founder of Soma Yoga
Discover the amazing capacity of your nervous system for somatic releasing, resourcing and re-education through these movement explorations inspired by Hanna Somatics, BioSomatics, Somatic Unwinding, the Alexander Technique, the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais, Skinner Releasing and my twenty one years as a dancer. 

Somatic Movement practices offer the opportunity to reawaken inherent agility and to move with ease. This learning process, which involves slow, gentle movement patterns, encourages the release of muscles from involuntary, habitual contraction.  Chronic tension patterns change as the body regains its innate ability to self-correct to ease and efficiency (neuro-muscular re-patterning).  Sensory-motor amnesia is a memory loss of how to voluntarily relax and control musculature.  We can move from sensory-motor amnesia to sensory-motor awareness, freeing ourselves from layers of habits which no longer serve us and expanding our possibilities for moving and thus, living.
