This beginner course offers a modern introduction to Hanna Somatics-based movements, tailored for the 21st century. Since first offering this course in 2014, I’ve refined both the content and teaching approach, ensuring you receive a variety of practical movement exercises to release tension, improve breathing, explore gentle movements, and enhance your abilities in a relaxed class setting.
Course Details:
- Duration: 6 weeks
- Start Date: September 7th, 2024
- Session Length: 90 minutes per session

Each session includes a movement class and an in-depth breakdown of one or two of the ten foundational movements. These sessions provide a solid foundation for building a personalized movement practice. We’ll also cover relevant theory, explaining the purpose of each movement and how to tailor them to your needs.
I’ve been teaching students of the Essential Somatics Movement Teacher Training since 2018 and clients since 2014, making Somatics accessible to anyone eager to move and feel better.

I’ve chosen to offer this course online, allowing you to participate comfortably from home. Whether you want to avoid commuting, need flexibility for childcare, or simply prefer the comfort of your own space, this format is ideal.
What Participants Say:
“Many thanks – really enjoyed the class, you seem to have an amazing ability to know what I am doing with my body even from Zoom!” – Jo
Who Is This For?
Somatic Movement is a process-oriented practice, focusing on how we move rather than the appearance of the movement. This makes it accessible to those recovering from injuries, surgeries, or long-term illnesses. It’s also welcoming for those who may feel uncomfortable in group settings or prefer staying at home. Parents, pet owners, or anyone who finds it difficult to leave the house will find this format convenient.
In Somatics, we “meditate in movement,” observing, sensing, making slight adjustments, and working with contrasts in effort, tempo, and rest. The movements are non-acrobatic, within your normal range of motion, and allow for a high degree of personal choice and control. There are no rigid poses or interpretative dance moves; instead, I’ll guide you through simple movement tasks to enhance your body awareness.
