Available spots
Course Description
"Somatic" seems to be the new it-girl yoga world term these days. But trying to understand what is somatic based on a dictionary definition is nearly impossible as the word somatic simply means related to the body. "Somatic" seems to have come to be used as a vague synonym for relaxation, often evoked as poetic language for replenishing or inward-moving qualities. However, somatic movements are not vague relaxation techniques. AND somatic movements are different from physical therapy inspired corrective exercises. Drawing on the work of somatic pioneers Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen of Body-Mind Centering®, Moshé Feldenkrais, and Frederick Alexander of Alexander Technique, Tara will teach you two specific somatic principles that will give you fresh inspiration for cuing and sequence yoga practices.
