Somatic Movement Wellness: Sampler Series (In-person)
In these challenging times, how do we find our center and our balance in the midst of it all? Coming home to your body, you can begin where you are.
In this 4-class series, you will engage in basic somatic movement practices to enhance body-mind wellness. Susan’s somatic approach is based in her extensive study of various somatic practices, including Body-Mind Centering(R), Ideokinesis, and Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement, along with her background in dance improvisation and Authentic Movement.
In these classes, you learn practices you can continue to do at home to re-instate a sense of calm in your nervous system, and emerge refreshed and enlivened. This supports you to feel better, as well as to see clearly what is before you so you can respond rather than react. One step at a time you regain a sense of stability in these uncertain times, from deep within yourself.
