Who is welcome? ​

This approach to movement is open to everyone – all ages, abilities, sizes and shapes are welcome (come as you are); it is an inclusive practice that encourages human beings to slow-down,  release tension and relax; ease out stiffness; sense and feel in more fullness; re-connect to bodyself and others; and imagine and enact new life possibilities.

While this practice certainly enhances  health, it is not based on the reductive idea that health is about physiological fitness alone, or rooted in exterior beauty. Practitioners raise awareness about many aspects of health, including physiological, creative, imaginative and 'communal-connective' health, and the importance of bringing consciousness to kinesthesia and proprioception.

​While sharing a little philosophical similarity to yoga, this practice is not based on a series of fixed postures or set exercises, but rather gentle experiential processes that support bodily freedom and improvisational creativity, in turn reducing stress and releasing neuro-muscular tension. 
 
Somatic Movement is ideal for people who are feeling disengaged from their body and life-energy; are experiencing a loss of creativity and connection to their deeper-self; feel unhappy and uncomfortable in their body; are suffering neuro-muscular tension; have lost confidence; feel stressed at work and lacking life-energy. ​​
