Somatics to ease stiffness and pain

The creator of Hanna somatics, Thomas Hanna, called it "the myth of aging". It is the erroneous notion that because the body ages and experiences injury over the course of time, that we necessarily have to accept stiffness and pain as the reality of having a body. 

While yoga is a somatic practice, these specialised somatic movements are slow, gentle and easy, and they aim to retrain the brain so that we can move in a more integrated way, and with a whole load less pain. 

Over this eight week course somatic movements will be introduced in a progressive manner, and you will build up a repertoire of daily movements to relieve your body aches. You will develop a short series that can be done to warm the body for your morning yoga practice, your daily jog, your gym visit, or on its own just get you moving freely that day. Some of this work is done lying on the mat, some seated and some standing. You will also learn how you can use these movements in your office chair or in the car to maintain your freedom of movement. Don't accept living in pain until you have tried Somatics. 

Each week you will be given take home notes to continue the movement explorations by yourself, in readiness for the following week.
