An exciting NEW somatic movement class. This class will be taught in English
Learn how to notice stress at an early stage, so you can take immediate action. Release tension. Learn how to move richer, with more ease and less pain.
SMOOTHER MOVING is a somatic movement class. The purpose of somatic movement is to enhance Body-Mind integration. By training movement awareness, this class improves awareness of the body and its (stress) signals. This enhances human functioning and makes movement easier and more fun. You will learn to listen more closely to your body’s needs and become smoother as a mover!
WHO CAN DO SOMATIC MOVEMENT?
This Smoother Moving class is suitable for anyone, including those with injuries. Personal experience and making discoveries at your own pace are core. Every single body is different, with its own movement preferences. This is respected in somatic classes. Everyone works in a safe way, within their own boundaries and possibilities. We work with what we have, in a small group, with personal attention. Prior experience with somatic movement is not necessary. You move all the time.
WHAT SMOOTHER MOVING IS NOT
This is not a Yoga or Pilates class. Pauline is a Registered Somatic Movement Educator (RSME). She has a dance background and studied Movement, Dance and Play. She is notoriously bad at remembering steps or sequences. So the classes are about exploring your own movement preferences more freely. Each series of classes is well structured around a theme, with lots of room for creativity. The classes at HYC are based upon the Laban Movement System and Bartenieff Fundamentals (LBMS). Two rich and creative movement systems, all about developing a healthy, smooth and easy movement pattern, in harmony with your environment.
