“Somatic Expression is inclusive and accessible to people from a wide variety of backgrounds.”

The benefits of Somatic Expression

In Somatic Expression you will learn practical tools and creative strategies to manage the stresses and strains of living in un-natural times. These compassionate collaborations with your own body can help you connect you with your wants and needs, transforming lethargy, anxiety, pain, and distress into states of well-being.

This is movement as medicine. You learn to nurture, heal and master your own body through the somatic movement practices of breath, sound, movement, touch and stillness.

Somatic Expression practices generate more independence and self-sufficiency. Once you have learned the practices, you won’t need equipment, a class, or a teacher. You can practice whenever you want in your own time as your body is always with you.

  • Touch mindfully awakens reassurance and self-soothing.
  • Breath stimulates vitality and well-being.
  • Movement and sound restore the freedom, curiosity and delight of the creative mind.
  • Stillness directs and calms the movement of the mind.
