I won’t go into what Somatics is all about here - nor how beneficial it is!! - because you can get a sense of that by visiting this page. Or you can get in touch if you have questions. But if you already know this is something you want to try, read on for more info!

Event details

This offering is a pre-recorded, ‘first steps’ session, to give you a taste of what Somatic Movement is all about. You will be introduced to a little of the theory, as well as experiencing some foundational movements that you can weave into your life as soon as you have watched the session. This is a very experiential session, designed to enable you to get a real feel for what Somatic Movement is all about - so come ready to move!

What you will learn

• The basic underlying theory of the Somatic Movement approach
• Foundational movements which you can practise at home
• How Somatic Movement supports your unique body
• An effective way to settle your nervous system
• How to become more aware of your own body sensations

How we do it?

In our pre-recorded 75-minute session (approximate timing), you will receive a grounding in the Somatic Movement approach, including the basis of the theory underpinning the practice, and you will experience some of the foundational Somatics movements.

This is a highly practical and experiential session - you will need space to lie down on the floor, on a carpet or exercise mat, and preferably with enough space to spread your arms out to the sides (as if you were doing a snow angel!). Wear comfortable, flexible clothing for the best experience.

Pre-requisites: none.

Requirements: preferably a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted; room to lie on the floor (carpet or exercise mat) and spread arms and legs out; ability to get down to/up from the floor to do the practice (this can be using a chair etc for support if needed); ability to lie on your back (this could be propped with cushions if needs be); intention to create space to practise between sessions (optional, but recommended!); internet access. Please get in touch if you are unsure about any of these requirements.

Exchange: £7 for the session, including lifetime access to your session recording, as well as extra teaching videos. On signing up for this offering, you will receive access to all the resources you need - please note, as I only work part-time, it may take a day or two to hear back from me with this information.
