Closed Group Online Somatics
Gentle class using intelligent movement practices to reprogram muscles
Service Description
Details: A class that uses a technique of pandiculation to reprogram muscles to their optimal length in a resting position. Instead of only stretching muscles, this class utilises progressive, intelligent movement-based practices based on the work of Thomas Hanna, Dr. Stephen Porges (Polyvagal Theory), and Martha Peterson. Somatic movement classes will help unwind stiffness, pain, and postural imbalances, calm the nervous system, and increase flexibility through brain-to-muscle re-education. When the body, brain, and nervous system are working together in harmony, there will be a rediscovery of what it means to live and move with freedom and ease. Please note: This is a closed group class, limited to a maximum of 15 participants to support safety, consistency, and a sense of community over time. ⸻ Instructions Live classes run on Zoom. Here’s how to join: 1. Book your place as normal on the booking system & report any health info when prompted. 2. Download Zoom to your mobile, tablet, or computer (https://us04web.zoom.us/ or visit app stores). 3. Find a space to practice in – it doesn’t need to be perfect! If you don’t have a mat, maybe grab a towel or just use the floor. 4. Check your emails – a class link will be sent to you 15 minutes before we start, or check your My Bookings tab on the website or app. Click, join the room, and mute your microphone but keep your camera on so I can see you. 5. Enjoy! This is probably new to most of us (it is to me!) so if you have glitches feel free to share feedback. I will endeavour to make classes available for viewing later where possible.
