Somatic Movement
Somatics is a gentle, awareness-based approach to movement that helps you reconnect with your body from the inside out. In our courses, we draw specifically on Hanna Somatics — a method that uses slow, mindful movements to retrain the brain and nervous system, release chronic muscle tension, and restore natural, comfortable movement. Rather than stretching or forcing change, Hanna Somatics works through sensing and awareness, supporting lasting improvements in how your body feels and functions both on and off the mat.
SOMATICS 1: UNWIND & REWIRE
WITH DANI AFFLECK
4-WEEK COURSE, MONDAYS 715-815PM
7-28 SEPTEMBER
Dani’s course is designed to help you feel better in your body—gently, mindfully, and with lasting results. The practice uses slow, intentional movement to address chronic tension, discomfort, and postural imbalances at their root: the nervous system.
You’ll learn to recognize and reverse sensory-motor amnesia, the loss of voluntary muscle control that occurs from repetitive stress, injury, or simply living in a fast-paced world. Using a technique called pandiculation, each session will help you unwind muscular patterns that keep your body stuck in cycles of pain or rigidity.
By the end of the course, you'll gain a toolkit for releasing tension, moving with more freedom, and building a healthier mind-body connection—all without force, strain, or stretching.
No experience is needed. This course welcomes all bodies and is especially supportive for those managing chronic pain, limited mobility, or stress-related tension.
