somatics and embodiment

The Movement Experience - resetting, easing tension and stress, reconnecting with self

Somatics & Embodiment - Both are felt & intertwined.

Somatic means 'of or relating to the body'. The felt sense from within. Hunger, fullness, pain - your basic sensory experiences. Feeling music that send chills through your body, smelling lilacs that bring up a memory. A need to laugh, scream, cry, get angry. We can feel all of these things in a way words can’t explain. A lump in your throat, butterflies in your tummy.

It can be where we carry tension. It can be subtle and not in our physical awareness. It’s the stored memory of the body.

Somatic components within The Movement Experience classes focus on the internal experience of the movements with each song rather than an 'end result'. The components are performed consciously, slowly, and focus on presence and quality that is unique to you and where you are at in that moment, not quantity allowing the body to move to be moved.

Embodiment – we’re always embodying. Feminine Embodiment is feeling connected to, awake and alive for our experiences. Driven, attuned. It’s engagement. It’s slower. It’s supportive. It’s centering. It’s rhythmic and cyclical. It’s about depth and capacity. The Movement Experience uses prompts and reflections through the class with each song to facilitate using the body as a tool for healing through mindfulness, self awareness, presence, connection with other women and self. Exploring the relationship between our physical being and energy.
