Time to Unwind, Connect & Renew
This deeply restorative weekend will flow through guided somatic movement explorations, gentle neurodevelopmental somatic movement patterns from BrainDance and lying down somatic bodyscan mindfulness meditations. Open to all, no previous experience required.
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). Change the way you move, change the way you live. These movement awareness practices invite quiet mind, a deep unwinding and endless discovery.
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, yoga & meditation teacher.
Classes include the following practices:
-
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.
Discover the amazing capacity of your nervous system for somatic releasing, resourcing and re-education.
-
Bring agility, balance, strength and ease to all of the movement activities in your life.
These 8 developmental 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.

This class draws from somatic movement education, Skinner Releasing Technique, Alexander Technique, BrainDance and my lifetime of dance.
