Take It Outside Fitness
These classes are on hold right now.
Take your somatic awareness "up into gravity" for real-life movement patterns to re-enforce what you gain in the somatics classes.. These classes take the body into multiple planes of movement, unlike typical gym workouts, so you learn to move well so you can live well.

I've been doing the Somatics moves you taught me, and I do notice that my lower back pain is much better. I never did reschedule with that chiropractor since this works so well.
This will save me so much time and money!

Workshops

There are no workshops scheduled at this time.

Since I've started Somatics my body feels "looser" and more relaxed, especially when I'm moving. ... my aches and pains that I thought were part of aging are gone. I'm much more aware of my alignment as I walk .... I feel way more in tune with my body.
I'm not a natural athlete and usually prefer to curl up with a book instead of moving around. Just knowing that something is good for me isn't enough to motivate me. But boy am I motivated by anything that makes me feel this good. And doing Somatics makes me feel so good it makes it easier to actually do the "exercises".

* How Online Classes work

To "attend" online classes you will need
* a wifi connection
* a laptop computer, tablet, iPad, smart phone device (desktop computers don't work because they are on a desk and you are on the floor)
* open space to lie down on the floor (unless we are doing a seated/standing class)
* so I can see you better, a well lit area works best
* space to walk around a bit as well

IMPORTANT!
Once registered, you will receive emailed confirmation. The email will contain a link to the online "classroom". We use Zoom, which is like Skype, but better IMO.
Please get online prior to class and set up your space so you are visible to the camera of your device. If I can't see you, I can't help you with your practice as well. Below is an example of what I'm talking about.
