FEEL AT HOME IN YOUR BODY AGAIN

Somatic Movement

Intelligent movement to release tension, improve posture, and restore ease in how you move, breathe, and perform.

What is Somatic Movement?

Somatic Movement is a nervous-system-based method for releasing chronic muscle tension and restoring fluid, efficient movement.
Rather than stretching from the outside, it teaches you to release tension from the inside out by retraining the brain’s control of your muscles.

It works particularly well for people who:

  • Feel tight or restricted, even after stretching or massage

  • Experience neck, shoulder, or back tension from long hours at a desk

  • Notice posture changes or pain linked to stress or workload

  • Want to restore smooth, coordinated movement and better energy

You’ll learn simple, mindful movement sequences that “reset” the brain’s control over your muscles, so your body stops defaulting to old tension patterns and can move freely again.

Whereas traditional body exercises make the muscles stronger, Somatic Exercises make the brain more intelligent in sensing and controlling muscles. Thomas Hanna, Creator of Somatics

How Somatic Movement works?

Somatic Movement uses gentle, slow movements called pandiculations , a natural action your body already knows how to do (you see it in animals and humans when they stretch and yawn after resting or being immobile).
Each movement involves gently contracting, then slowly releasing, a muscle group, helping your brain reset its sense of tension and relaxation.

This process:

  • Re-educates the nervous system to restore natural movement patterns

  • Reduces chronic muscular holding that contributes to pain or stiffness

  • Helps the body and mind shift out of habitual “stress postures”

  • Supports recovery and emotional regulation through body awareness

Clients often describe it as deeply relaxing, leaving them taller, lighter, and more comfortable in their body.

Somatic Movement Helps With:

  • Chronic muscle tightness or pain

  • Poor posture or movement restriction

  • Stress-related body tension

  • Recovery after injury or overtraining

  • Shallow breathing and fatigue

  • Feeling “disconnected” from your body

Why Somatics Matters for Stress and Performance

Under stress, your body automatically contracts; your shoulders lift, your breathing shallows, your posture braces. Over time, these “stress reflexes” become ingrained patterns.


Somatic Movement gives you a way to unwind those patterns by teaching your nervous system a new baseline of calm readiness, unhindered by past tightness.

The results lead to:

  • Reduced physical tension and pain

  • Improved posture

  • Easier, slower breathing

  • Improved body awareness and recovery after work or exercise

  • A calmer mind that feels connected to your body again

For stressful lifestyles, it’s a direct way to bring your body back into balance, supporting focus, energy, and resilience.

Experience Somatic Movement

Sessions are tailored to your body’s needs , whether you’re addressing pain, posture, or stress-related tightness. You’ll leave each session with simple movements you can use anytime to release tension and restore calm.
