Change the Way you Live
Fall Class schedule to be announced
May schedule Private in person or online sessions now.
Open to all and you may start anytime. These somatic movement classes invite you into gentle somatic movement explorations and lying down Somatic Body Scan meditations to support your freedom of movement & mind. 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). These somatic movement and meditation practices invite quiet mind, a deep unwinding and endless discovery. Awareness of habitual thinking, moving and attention patterns is possible; and with awareness sits liberation.

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.
-
A delicious dive into structured and improvisational somatic movement explorations including the 8 neurodevelopmental BrainDance patterns.
This class draws from somatic movement education, Skinner Releasing Technique, Alexander Technique, BrainDance and my lifetime of dance.
-
