In this series of classes, you’ll learn about patterns we all hold because of muscles that have become chronically tight. These patterns can cause your daily movements to become more difficult, cause pain in your body, and even affect your balance. Together, we will explore Hanna Somatic exercises you can do to come out of pain and regain ease and joy in your movements. You’ll discover a way of using your brain to reset your muscles, along with breathing practices that will help you relax.

You may join us for a single class or multiple classes. Each class is designed to address a common complaint, such as soreness in your neck and shoulders or pain in your low back. You will be provided with a written copy of the exercises we do together to assist you in continuing your practice. Links to video and audio guides will also be provided for your convenience.

The movements we explore are often done lying on the floor and can also be done from a chair. All you need is yourself.  Hanna Somatic Education is a safe, gentle, and intuitive approach that can help you learn to relax tight and painful muscles.

The series is co-presented by Bianca Lee, board-certified in neuromusculoskeletal medicine (NMM), and Lisa Tatham, who is a certified Hanna Somatic Educator.
