Twist Again! Essential Somatics for Greater Ease of Movement

Identifying and helping you release areas of muscle tightness & tension that are holding you back from moving more freely and comfortably, and may be causing you pain, this workshop will teach you slow, gentle but powerful Essential Somatic Movements & increase awareness of how YOU can take back control of your muscles & how you move through life.

You’ll experience two movement classes, and have time for questions and discussion. The first class will help release tension from the front and back of your body – noting how this affects your breathing. The second will start to free up your sides so you can twist more freely & walk more smoothly, efficiently, & comfortably.

Limited to 12 places.

10am–2pm

Release Tension in Your Neck, Shoulders & Centre with Essential Somatic Movements

This workshop will help you release areas of muscle tightness & tension that may be holding you back from moving more freely, and causing you pain, especially in your neck and shoulders – perhaps showing up as ‘RSI’, ‘carpal tunnel’, or headaches.

Thinking through how you might be suffering from uncomfortable habituated patterns, you’ll learn slow, gentle but powerful Essential Somatic Movements to increase awareness of how YOU can take back control of your muscles, freeing yourself to combat pain & discomfort in your own soma.

You’ll experience the effects of Essential Somatic Movements as we work with our hands, arms, neck, shoulders, feet and whole body to find ways to ease away from neck and shoulder pain and discomfort that can be so debilitating and hard to shift – and can start at the very centre of our being.
Limited to 12 places.

 

These workshops are designed to complement each other but they are also stand-alone workshops.

If you suffer from aches, pain, or tension in your neck, hands, shoulders and elsewhere (and have been told ‘it can’t be helped’, or ‘it’s your age’); if you want to improve your enjoyment or performance of everyday activities such as walking, cycling, yoga, or just working at your desk, then these workshops are for you!
