Your monthly Tune in & Tune up.
Somatic Movement Education re-awakens our inherent agility and expands our possibilities for moving effortlessly in all we do. These gentle movement explorations 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). Enjoy quiet mind, a deep unwinding and endless discovery. Learn how to regulate your nervous system. Move optimally in all of your physical activities. These Somatic Saturdays always include lying down Somatic Body Scan Meditations for integration time.

My somatic movement teaching draws from the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais, Hanna Somatics, BioSomatics, Somatic Unwinding, the Alexander Technique, Skinner Releasing Technique, Embodied Anatomy, the eight neuro-developmental movement patterns of the BrainDance and my over thirty two years as a somatic movement educator, dancer and Soma Yoga & meditation teacher. I also draw from my early life as an athlete. more info in my bio.

Bodies of Work:

  • Change the Way You Move,
    Change the Way You Live

    Move optimally in all of your physical activities with somatic movement education.

    We can re-awaken our inherent agility and expand our possibilities for moving effortlessly in all we do.

    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.

    Somatic Movement Education expands our possibilities for moving and thus living.

    Discover the amazing capacity of your nervous system for somatic releasing, resourcing and re-education.

    These movement awareness practices invite quiet mind, a deep unwinding and endless discovery.

  • Bring agility, balance, strength and ease to all of the movement activities in your life.

    These 8 neurodevelopmental 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, Open Source Forms, Alexander Technique, Embodied Anatomy, BrainDance and my lifetime of dance.

  • A flow through Soma Yoga, somatic movement (guided & improvisational), BrainDance & meditation. Bring ease, awareness and joy to all of the movement activities in your life.

  • ArtWorks! Meditation involves guided improvisational drawing & writing.

  • Item descriptionMy teaching draws strongly from my studies, trainings and practice in meditation practices within the Zen and Tibetan Buddhist traditions. I sit in huge heartfelt thanks for the courage and teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, Ani Pema Chodron, Tsultrim Allione, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Lama Wangdor Rinpoche, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Phillip Moffitt, Russell Delman, Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach.
