Express Somatics

Class Description

Somatics is a movement based modality that uses conscious, slow, exploratory mixed movements to “know thyself” through embodiment. The root “soma” is a Greek word meaning, the living body. In this class, we will use a somatic lens and somatic practices including a self referencing, interoceptive awareness, along with pandiculation and nervous system integration to guide us into an experience of process and journey, rather than end results and aesthetics. These practices help us learn to self regulate and take care of ourselves to become more fully embodied. You will end class in savasana as the teacher quietly leaves the Zoom meeting, leaving you to rest in savasana for as long as you wish. Please note: these classes are slow moving, inwardly focused and appropriate for all levels of mobility. Most of the movements and sequences will be done seated or reclined.
