What To Expect In A Hanna Somatics Class
Online & In-Person Classes
Whether you live in Santa Fe or anywhere in the world, you can attend a class with Christine. Online classes are offered through Zoom and are best if you have a good internet connection and a computer/device. In-person classes can be organized by request.
Classes Are Verbally Guided
Christine will give verbal instructions so that you can find the movements in your body. As you move, she will be able to see whether you need any further instructions to find the movement in your body and you are welcome to ask questions at any time.
Movements Are Gentle
Hanna Somatics is designed to be accessible for all levels. If you experience any discomfort you can choose less range through the movement, and there is even the option of visualizing your body doing the movement which will still create positive change in your muscle system.
Movements Are Slow
In Hanna Somatics you are working with your brain-muscle connections; you will re-educate your brain to release muscle tension. The slower you go, the more benefit you will experience.
Movements Are Done With Awareness
Because you are working directly with your brain’s sensory-motor cortex, awareness is the key to making sure this area of your gets involved in the learning process. The more present you are with sensations in your body, the more benefit you can bring to your body.
Classes Can Be Adapted To Your Comfort
Hanna Somatics can be done lying down, seated and even standing. Most often classes are guided with you lying down and will combine movements on your back, stomach and also lying on your sides. If any of these positions are not comfortable for you, please stay in your position of comfort and either modify the movements for your position, or visualize the movements. It is helpful to have pillows available for some supported movements as well.
Benefits Are Cumulative
The more you practice Hanna Somatic movements, the more change you will notice. You can continue one-on-one sessions or attend group classes with Christine on a regular basis and you are also encouraged to integrate the movements into your daily practice.
