Somatic Movement Classes
Wednesdays 11.30am - 12.30
Somatic movements are gentle, slow movements that help you release long held tension in the muscles of your body. Over time, without consciously realising it, we accumulate tension by continually contracting certain muscles or groups of muscles, and this constant tension leads to restricted movement and pain. Somatic movement classes help you to bring your awareness to this forgotten tension, to slowly release it and to rediscover how to move freely and to return to a relaxed, more neutral state.
Courses run in five week blocks which give a basic introduction to somatic movement, after which you are welcome to drop in to any of the sessions.
Most of the exercises are done on a mat on the floor so please bring a mat if possible.
Cost £35 for five sessions or £7 per session.
Contact Kath Revell 01579 340591 or 07729 907056 for further details and course dates.
