Somatics Basics Workshop
In this workshop, we will learn basic Somatic movements to improve balance, flexibility, and give you the tools to stay out of pain. Normal daily stresses, sore muscles, even long term muscular pain can be alleviated by Somatic exercises. Somatic movements are very gentle, slow, and thoughtful, appropriate for all levels, even (and especially) throughout pregnancy. This is a good class for everyone, as a basic introduction to Somatics and as a great review for those experienced. Somatics is easy, fun, and often dramatically effective at eliminating pain and increasing movement and flexibility.
Thursdays- July 31, August 7, 14, & 21. 6:30-7:30pm
$60 for four one-hour sessions Drop-ins welcome. No class cards
