Contact With-in Somatic Movement online
In these online Somatic Movement classes we explore Body-Mind Centering principles in our own space, the body, at home and still connecting with Nature and the wider space surrounding us. We work with touch, eyes closed, vocalising, visualising and experiencing our anatomical structure and body systems.
From its awareness the moving body becomes an instrument of unfolding knowledge and awareness.
You will develop a deep sense of embodiment together with your own individual and unique knowledge and awareness of the moving body. We work in bare feet, wear comfortable clothes and have water with you. Have also a notebook and some coloring materials which we will be using for reflective writing and drawing during the session.
Possible times available are:
