Service Description

Somatic movement has been around since the late 19th century and is an over-arching term for movement education designed to increase movement, flexibility and health. It can assist in correcting posture (The Alexander Technique and Rolfing are examples) or heal injuries and increase range of motion (like the Feldenkrais method). Yoga is also considered a somatic technique. This is a gentle class, where each person can work within their own pace and within their own capabilities. The work is quite slow, will demand thoughtful attention and a willingness to find ease. Commit to 45 minutes each Thursday morning for 8 weeks and feel better, brighter and more mobile. April loves and practices somatic movement. It was an area of expertise she used to teach in universities as part of the dance curriculum when she lived and worked in the UK. She has been teaching somatic work to private clients and dancers since 2003. Somatic movement is a wonderful compliment to your dynamic yoga practice as well as other sports or physical undertakings. It is of course, a valuable tool for moving more effectively and efficiently in life generally. Price listed is for a 10 week term.
