Looking For Fresh Ideas For Your Somatic Movement Practice?

Learning something new is exciting and starting a regular somatic movement practice is no different. You feel good, you move better and life is just that bit rosier. But what happens if you get stuck? Maybe after a while your practice no longer feels as effective as it once was, or there’s a pattern that you just can’t figure out. It can be frustrating.

We get it. We’ve been there too and what we found worked was to get an injection of new and fresh ideas.

So join an Online Workshop to get out of your head and into your body. Connect with others, ask your questions and get a boost for your own practice.Ā

      Online Workshop FAQs

      I don't have a lot of movement experience. Is that okay?

      Absolutely. This course is open to all ages and backgrounds. Anyone who wants to learn how to feel better and move their body pain-free is welcome.

      How long is each workshop?

      Each workshop, when delivered live, is 2 hours long. This includes at least two movement segments and time for Q&A and discussion.Ā 

      The recordings include the introduction and two movement segments only.

      I have scoliosis. Are your online workshops appropriate for me?

      Yes. Our workshops are designed to be gentle and accommodating. You will be guided to go slowly and gently. You may find that smaller movements are best for beginning to address the muscle tension inherent in scoliosis. We will show you what to do so it works effectively for you.

      Do I have to get down on the floor?

      Most of the movements will be performed on the floor, though there may be a few seated movements. Prone or supine movements are included in most practices.

      Are these movements guaranteed to work for me?

      Like any practice, achieving consistent results requires time and effort. While these methods and movements aren’t a quick fix or a magic pill, most people walk away feeling better than they have in years.

      What type of payment do you accept?

      We accept credit cards and Apple Pay using PayPal and Stripe.
