Join me as I guide you through the Myth of Aging Series

These foundational somatic movement series, created by Thomas Hannah, are designed to make moving easier as we age.

What is Living Somatics?​

Living Somatics is a mindful movement practice that helps you reconnect with your body and feel at home in yourself.

​

Movements are mostly done on the floor, inviting you to slow down and move with comfort, ease, and awareness.

​​

You’ll practice gentle movements that retrain your body to relax tight muscles and release tension caused by stress, injuries, or posture so your body can move with more ease and comfort.

​

As you practice, you’ll begin to move more freely, feel lighter, and experience greater balance—both physically and emotionally.

​

Rooted in principles from osteopathy, circadian body rhythms, and emotional awareness, Living Somatics offers a holistic path to healing and self-discovery. It’s not about stretching or pushing—it’s about listening, sensing, and returning to your natural state of ease and vitality.

What we will focus on week by week

Week 1 - Exploring the Front Body/fear anxiety response

Week 2 - Releasing the Back Body/go-go-go response 

Week 3- Releasing the Muscles of the Waist

Week 4- Exploring Trunk Rotation

Week 5- Freeing the Hips and Legs

Week 6 - Releasing the Neck and Shoulders

Week 8 - Exploring Walking 

When? - date and time TBD
