Embodied Joy!
In this online class we begin with a short arriving meditation, 2 off camera Improvisational SomaDance Scores to let go of your day, back on camera ( if you wish). We then open into more somatic movement and end with a lying down Somatic Bodyscan Meditation. Because this class is online, I end class with you cuddled up under your blankets in lying down meditation so that you may stay in this relaxing parasympathetic nervous system state another 1/2 hr, an hour or more ..one student woke up the next morning!

Somatic Movement & Mindfulness Meditation
Wednesday 4:30 - 5:45pm
Thursdays 10:30 - 11:45am
Gentle somatic movement re-patterning and awareness practices liberate us from layers of involuntary, habitual holding patterns. Reawaken your inherent agility and strength, expanding possibilities for moving effortlessly in all that you do. Discover the amazing capacity of your nervous system for somatic releasing, resourcing and re-education. Chronic tension patterns change as the body regains its innate ability to self-correct to ease and efficiency (neuromuscular re-patterning). Somatic movement & mindfulness meditation invites quiet mind, a deep unwinding and endless discovery. Awareness of habitual thinking, moving and attention patterns is possible; and with awareness sits liberation. Somatic Movement Education supports optimal movement in all of your activities. These somatic movement sessions draw from Hanna Somatics, Somatic Unwinding, the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais, Skinner Releasing Technique, Alexander Technique, 8 BrainDance Somatic Patterns, Embodied Anatomy and lying down Somatic Body Scan Meditations (further descriptions at bottom of page).
