Relaxing Contracted Muscles of Work, Play and Trauma
Relaxing Contracted Muscles of Work, Play and Trauma
The repetitive movements of life’s daily work and play, combined with life stressors and injuries, can result in the involuntary holding of muscle reflex patterns. When driving a car we make a fist to hold the steering wheel securely, and dependent on our driving style, our shoulders may be rolled forward or backward. Our back may become arched or stooped after driving for long periods. These unconscious habits lead to chronically tight muscles resulting in body tension, discomfort or pain, and a loss of flexibility.
Somatic body movement classes help students regain conscious control over unconsciously contracted muscles. The goal of the class is to relieve muscle tension, reduce body discomfort and return a sense of ease and balance to the body which will enhance all of life's activities.

Somatic Movement Classes
Students are guided through slow and gentle movements designed to re-educate the body-mind to contract and release unconsciously held muscular tension. The release of muscular tension reduces pain and increases flexibility.
Some movements are completed with students sitting in a chair, while most are done while lying on floor mats. This makes the classes safe, relaxing and accessible to most people. Lying on the floor limits the effect of gravity on the body and allows for a deepening sensation of the muscles and joints as they move.
