“We participate in our own evolution by contacting body wisdom, nurturing our nature, healing old wounds and embodying new ways of being."

“If you can walk, you can dance. And if you can talk, you can sing.” Pygmy saying

Somatic Expression BODY WISDOM FOR MODERN TIMES

Your body is an evolving expression of nature. With Somatic Expression, you learn to use the five technologies nature gave you for health and healing. These technologies are:

Breath

Vocalization

Contact

Movement

Stillness

Learning to know your body intimately from the inside out with these fundamental technologies enables more grace, ease, pleasure and well-being.

Somatic Expression is an innovative approach to somatic education, expressive arts therapy and mind-body integration developed by Jamie McHugh over the past 30 years.

Somatic Expression synthesizes elements from the Alexander Technique, Body-Mind Centering, Continuum, Halprin Life/Art Dance, Feldenkrais, Mindfulness Meditation, Process-Oriented Psychology, and Taoist practices.

People of all ages and backgrounds worldwide have experienced the benefits of Somatic Expression in various settings - from universities to clinics to studios.

Jamie offers Somatic Expression workshops and trainings internationally.

He also offers individual sessions in San Francisco and Sea Ranch, and more in-depth individualized retreats at Sea Ranch.
