This is a progressive 7-week Somatic Movement course running every Tuesday 6.30-7.30 pm from 7 January until 18 February 2020 at Yoga Seeds, Bagshot.

The tradition of Hanna Somatics challenges the belief that the aging process must result in increased stiffness, less mobility and poor posture.

Somatics is a rapidly effective form of neuromuscular (mind-body training) movement re-education that goes directly to the root cause of most chronic muscular pain - the brain. By learning to regain both awareness, sensation, and motor control of muscles the brain can remember how to relax and move the muscles properly.

Somatics is a safe, gentle and common sense approach to reverse chronic pain. It is the only method of pain relief and sensory motor training that targets Sensory Motor Amnesia (SMA).

Sensory Motor Amnesia is the condition of chronically-tight muscles that have learned to stay contracted due to repeated and reflexive response to stress such as accidents, injuries, surgeries, repetitive tasks, and on-going emotional stress. The resulting patterns of muscular contraction that develop may result in conditions such as chronic back pain, neck, shoulder and hip pain, limited mobility, joint pain, poor posture, shallow breathing, and uneven leg length.

In this introductory course you will learn the nature of sensory-motor amnesia (SMA), how it occurs in the brain, where it occurs in your body, and how to address and eradicate it by exploring somatic exercises with attention to internal sensation and movement. This course will help you:

• reduce chronic pain

• relax your nervous system

• release muscle tension

• move with ease and comfort

• increase flexibility, muscle suppleness, and balance

• reconnect your brain and body’s communication pathways

• enhance awareness of yourself from the inside out

• advance your yoga practice and other sports or fitness performance

Join us for this lesson in self-mastery and bring back comfortable, functional movement to your life.

At Yoga Seeds we provide a intimate setting for small, quality movement classes, workshops and private sessions within a home environment.
