Online Living Somatic Movement Lessons

Join one of our 8-week online lesson seires to increase wellbeing in body and mind and release accumulated tension and pain in the body.

Sign-up for one of our online lesson series here: https://forms.gle/gJLdVopS1PNk2zju8

In the 8-week lesson series, we will explore a sensory-motor approach to increase embodiment, balance and suppleness. You will learn new ways of improving functional movement patterns, self-regulating your nervous system and addressing the main cause of physical pain in the body.

During the lesson series, you will learn a daily self-practice of Somatic movements. We also cover the principles of Living Somatic Education and what Sensory Motor Amnesia (SMA) is and why it is the most common cause of chronic pain in the musculoskeletal system.

Lesson Set-up:
We will use the free online video platform Zoom for the movement lessons. Each movement lesson is facilitated live for 1h 15min. If you are unable to attend the live sessions, you will have access to the lesson recording to listen to in your own time for a week.

If you join the lesson series after it has started, you will have access to prior recordings.

Online Consultations

In this time of COVID-19, we offer an extended number of online consultations. Online Somatic Education consultations are tailored for your particular needs. A consultation includes postural assessment, medical history, a movement lesson focusing on your needs, and a personalized movement sequence that you can do on your own at home to increase the benefit of the consultation. The cost for a 1-hour session is € 60.00. All you need for an online session is a computer, tablet or smartphone where you can use Facetime, Skype or Zoom. To book a session, please fill out our contact form or call our office at +46-707-598096.

Since these sessions are online and do not allow for hands-on guidance of an in-person clinical session, a series of at least three sessions are advised in order to get full benefits.

In these challenging times, we are doing our best to make ourselves and the work available to anyone who needs it. We are working on supporting new and old clients and our students in training. We are offering online movement lessons and are moving part of our trainings online.

Living Somatics - About the Method

Living Somatics offers neuromuscular education and movement awareness practices in the tradition of Thomas Hanna. This method teaches us how to use movement and awareness to increase wellbeing, health, and access our greater potential. Somatic Education supports us to recognize and release holding patterns and chronic pain resulting from injury, stress, repetitive strain, and habituated posture. There are two components to the work; one-on-one hands-on sessions and group lessons. Both are executed with the goal of teaching the student a self-practice of Somatic Movements. These movements are slow and mindful, mostly done lying down on the floor. The primary focus is on finding ease and quality movement and the form of the movement is secondary. Through this sensory-motor approach, you learn new ways of improving functional movement patterns, to self-regulate your nervous system and address the main cause of pain in the body.
