A somatic movement focuses on the perceived internal experience rather than the external shape. Somatics is a movement therapy, a way of re-educating the way our brain senses and moves the muscles. Thomas Hanna, a movement theorist, coined the term somatics in 1976.

The two hour workshop includes a brief theoretical part introducing to the concept of somatic movement with a focus on the neck and shoulders. The moving practice will mainly target the upper part of the torso and how this affects our posture and sense of wellbeing, increasing our self-awareness as we move.

The entire practice is done very slowly and with very precise movements. It can become a nice integration to one’s personal yoga practice. 

No previous experience required.
