Do you feel tight, stiff, sore or restricted when you move?

Maybe you've tried stretching, strengthening, massage or other approaches, but the same areas keep tightening up or the discomfort keeps returning.

Somatic Shift is a different approach.

These live 60-minute classes help you become more aware of the movement patterns and muscular tension that may be contributing to how you feel—and explore new ways of moving with less effort and more ease.

Each month has a theme that gives you a framework for exploring your body and building on what you learn from week to week. The classes are designed for continuity and deeper learning, but no prior somatics experience is required.

The movements are slow, gentle and exploratory. You'll work within a comfortable, easy range rather than pushing into pain or forcing a stretch. Most of the class takes place on the floor, with occasional use of a chair or standing movements.

And while the movements may seem small, the changes can be surprisingly noticeable.

You may find it easier to bend over, turn your head, get up from the floor, climb stairs—or move through the activities you enjoy, whether that's walking, running, yoga, gardening, cycling or sports.

With regular practice, these changes can build over time, helping you feel less tight, less restricted and more at home in your body.

NOTE: An intake form is required for registration where I ask you some questions about your issues. This helps me cater the class to your needs.
