Movement Education
Life is movement and flow
Somatic Therapy is the art of faciltating one's mindfulness of chronic habits of movement inhibition which can cause stagnation, poor function, pain and eventual disease. Theses habits can manifest as physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual symptoms.
Hands-on and verbal cues as well as gentle movements are used to repattern faulty movement habits, re-establishing natural reflex responses and optimal neural-muscular organization. The result is improved flexibility and performance, expanded range of choices and fuller personal expression. Instruction in the fundamentals of T'ai Chi and Chi Gung, the oldest comprehensive somatic practices, may be used to facilitate lifelong learning of these skills.
