What is Somatic Movement?
Somatic movement is an awareness based and holistic movement practice. Based in your first-person experience of your living physical organism (commonly thought of as only your body), thoughts, emotions and connection to Self or Spirit. Somatic practices help you to notice and release tension which causes pain, process emotions, and restore your innate connection to deep rest, safety, peace and therefore healing.

​Reset your soma using a slow moving, focused, sense-based movement practice.
