What is Somatic Movement?
Somatic movement is system of movement that was created by Thomas Hanna.
It incorporates a range of movements designed to address neuro-muscular imbalances in any tight muscles in your body. These gentle exercises encourage a lengthening and re-education through voluntarily contracting and releasing tight/held muscles, and will help you connect your mind to your body and improve movement in your body as a whole. It is deeply effective and relaxing!
I have completed two sets of training in teaching Somatic Movement and currently include Somatic movements within my Yoga classes, to encourage a greater awareness to how the body moves. I also teach a regular Somatic Movement only class, on a Thursday morning at 9.30am at Ridgeway Community Centre, full details can be found in the table of classes section under the Yoga Heading. NEW Somatic Class due to begin on 3rd September 24 on a Tuesday morning from 10am to 11am.
