Free Introductory Soma Class

In this experiential class Emma will be offering an introduction to Soma, her somatic movement practice rooted in the work of Continuum. This gentle, restorative, embodied meditation work explores the fluid systems of the body and focuses on developing internal sensation and awareness. We use breath, sounding and subtle movement to soften our restrictive movement patterns and cultural conditioning so that we can regain access to and enjoyment of our bodies' innate wisdom, responsiveness, and healing potential. Rather than viewing the body as an object, we explore the body as a living, intelligent, ongoing process. This work has been shown to be beneficial for pain, chronic injury and other physical limitations, including groundbreaking work with paralysis, and promotes deep relaxation, wellbeing, and a sense of profound connectedness.
