UPCOMING
SOMATIC WORKSHOPS
Join me for a transformative Somatic Movement Workshop designed for anyone who wants to restore freedom of movement in their entire body.
You will learn how to: do a body scan, breathe diaphragmatically into their lower belly, release excess tension in the back, front and sides of the body, restore rotation in their spine and release tension in the hips and legs. You will also learn how the nervous system keeps you in these patterns of tension. You will also receive a audio file to continue home practice.
Please allow 6 hours for this Workshop..
Workshops can be customised to your needs. Contact me for any requests.
