The Commitment
You can practice anywhere!
All you need is self motivation, a mat or carpet, a quiet room with no distractions.
Somatic Education classes is a learning process different for every person. Some experience significant changes in their pain or functioning very quickly, while others it may takes a little longer. Focusing on the learning process rather than on the end goal is important.
You’ll be continually rewarded with the gradual and lasting changes to your body to enable you to move more easily, effortlessly and pain free .
Sense your muscle tension, posture and movement.
I’ll teach you how to feel and change tension and movement from the inside out rather than the outside in. You can correct posture and how you move through your daily life, as well as prevent injuries.
Many of the movements I teach are lying down allowing you to isolate specific muscles and patterns. They can also be adapted to sitting, lying in bed or standing.
I’ll guide you through the scientific technique of pandiculation. It’s gentle and will never cause pain.
The Exercises
Ongoing Self Learning
Regular practice is enjoyable and rewarding.
We’ve have spent our whole life developing habitual muscular patterns and for a long time and won’t have caused pain. Finally one day, you begin to feel pain or experience damage to the actual structure of your body. The habits causing this pain or damage will have been present for many years. While it may take a relatively short time to get out of pain, these habits are still present, and takes practice to fully unlearn these damaging patterns.
Regular practice changes these deeply learned patterns, releasing habitual tension we build up each day. Daily practice is like brushing your teeth. Life keeps happening, and we keep learning new muscular tasks and encountering potentially stressful situations. Just as our teeth get dirty every day, our nervous system is constantly learning new muscular patterns and strengthening existing ones.
To practice on a regular basis with the intention of taking control of your health requires a shift in thinking for many people. We’ve been trained to let the experts tell us how to eat, drink, exercise and medicate, and assuming the responsibility of taking care of yourself can be daunting.
Regaining full muscular control and developing awareness of our internal sensations is critical to our health because it allows us to assess and correct ourselves more quickly and effectively than if we wait for symptoms to appear. The human nervous system is a highly complex, extremely powerful tool, and learning how to harness its potential gives us enormous capacity to prevent pain and injury and improve the quality of your life.
