The Thinking Body
Somatics to the Rescue!

The body has three primary stress responses that hijack your posture and movement patterns. These responses are hardwired into unconscious neuromuscular reflexes. 

This workshop teaches you to recognise these reflexes, understand how they affect you, and how skilful practice creates lasting change.

Hanna Somatics unites modern neuromuscular science with ancient yogic wisdom. It offers a safe, fast and efficient way to move out of pain and into ease by retraining your nervous system. 

Somatic exercises are simple and accessible, yet deep and transformative. They can be seamlessly incorporated into any yoga or movement practice. For teachers and students, it’s love at first sight!

  • Sense, feel and re-pattern your soma (body-mind). 
  • Find freedom from pain, tension and muscular contraction.
