Service Description

Welcome to Somanation (Somatic Integration)! Classes start with functional training designed to challenge and improve range of motion in all joints and stabilize the small muscles that support larger muscle groups. Each class begins with the same series of movements (for a 6 week period, so that by the end, you see your own improvement). We effectively work every joint and strengthen our phasic muscles (ones that tend to weaken, like abs, triceps and glutes). Thereafter, we move into dancing freestyle, getting out of our thinking brain and into feeling mode. We simply move the way the body feels inclined to, without questioning it, choreographing it or imitating others. The music and instruction will help you tune-in and become self-aware. This is easily done in the comfort of your own home, uninhibited, in these online classes (for now). I will be moving, as your instructor, in whatever way my body wants and needs to. If you're a Bible reader, imagine letting go and dancing as a form of prayer and praise, like King David did. You may observe me yawning, burping, shaking, stomping, stretching, opening my jaw, making noise as I breathe or applying percussion on a body area. Your body may be doing a totally different thing. However, by observing how outlandish I can get, I hope you become inspired to let go and express your authentic self, too. It is your birth right to do so! This is a form of exercise that is actually self-healing. Join in the fun!
