Everyone knows someone who has lower back pain.  The shared experience of tight back, neck and shoulder muscles is caused by something very simple that most people are not doing: intentionally maintaining sensory self-awareness.  Sensory motor awareness is a missing piece in maintaining comfort and ease of movement throughout life.  Without sensory awareness, the muscular patterns of stress, anxiety, repeated movement patterns and injury become habituated over time and cause stiffness, aches, and pain in the lower back, neck, and joints.  Whether you attend a somatic workshop or classes, you will be guided through slow, gentle movements that reawaken sensory self-awareness and restore function to the spine and joints and improve breathing.  All movements are done lying down.  No experience is necessary for somatics; it simply requires intention. There is no stretching.  No force.  No postures to achieve.   The less effort you use, the more you gain. Somatics is appropriate for all fitness levels.  To offer a Somatic Workshop at your Health Club, contact me.
