Budding Lotus Body

Two weeks from today this new Hanna Somatics class series begins at Breathe.

🐌 Supple Shoulders
3-week series
August 5 - 19
Wednesdays, 12:30pm - 1:30pm MT
In-person & Online
at Breathe

Your shoulders have the capacity for highly dynamic movements and in the process collaborate with your low back, waist, hips, neck, rib cage, and more. When this dynamic movement is blocked by pain, tension, or injury, the limitations can feel overwhelming.

Over this 3-week class series you will learn Hanna Somatic techniques to release tension patterns in your shoulders and their connections. Classes will offer you a variety of gentle movements that you can integrate into your personal practice.

Drop-ins are welcome for students who cannot make the whole series. Classes are verbally guided and will be taught in reclined positions on the floor. Recorded replay with one week unlimited access will be sent to all students.

💥 If you have been looking for even more consistency with your Hanna Somatics practice, I am excited to share that I will now be offering a weekly Hanna Somatics class at Breathe—and on a new day of the week!

🐌 Unknotting Your Neck
3-week series
July 15 - 29
Wednesdays, 12:30pm - 1:30pm MT
In-person & Online
at Breathe

Ease and mobility in your neck are fundamental to the majority of your daily tasks. Yet so many daily and weekly habits that you form in your work, hobbies, and from life stressors can create pain, tension, and movement limitations.

Over this 3-week series you will learn Hanna Somatic techniques to release tension patterns in your neck and the relationships it has with your jaw, pelvis, shoulders, and more. Classes will combine gentle movements in reclined and seated positions to offer you a variety of tools that you can integrate into your personal practice.

This class series is open to new and returning Hanna Somatic students. Class recordings will be shared for 7 days with all registered students.

Hanna Somatics stands out from many other movement and manual modalities and if you have experienced this practice already I am sure you would agree.

Because Hanna Somatics works directly with your nervous system, understanding how your brain communicates with your body and vice-versa is hugely important to me and shapes how I work with and support clients and students. This is why at the core of this practice, I teach you pandiculation.

If you haven't heard of voluntary pandiculation before, it is a slow contraction of a set of muscles, a slow release of the same muscle set, and a brief period of rest. It sounds simple and it is—AND—it is also deeply effective.

Pandiculation brings the learning part of your brain online so that you can actively change the resting tension levels in your muscles (letting go of what you are holding onto). This leads to:

Less tension
Less pain
Greater flexibility
More movement ease
Increased muscle strength
Deeper rest
and more...

There are lots of ways to explore this practice both online and in person in Santa Fe. I offer 1:1 sessions(https://buddinglotusbody.com/hanna-somatic-education/somatics-sessions/) if you would like personalized support, and I am also offering two class series coming up: Unknotting Your Neck and Supple Shoulders (https://buddinglotusbody.com/hanna-somatic-education/workshops/).

If your interest is peaked feel free to reach out with any questions you might have. I look forward to sharing this practice with you.

Raise your hand if you struggle with neck pain, tension, and/or limited movement ✋. If I could see you all, I know I would see a lot of hands.

Our cervical spine (neck) is designed for some beautifully intricate movements, balances our head, and supports the work of our eyes. When our neck is at its best, all of this coordinates seamlessly. When mental and emotional stress, tension, and our habits accumulate though, our neck is one of the most common parts of our body to struggle.

With all of this in mind, I have created Unknotting Your Neck—my next class series. We will spend 3 weeks on gentle, Hanna Somatics movements to unwind your neck AND it will not only offer you movements in reclined positions, but I will also share some seated movements so you have even more tools to add to your toolkit.

Oh, and, If you are one of the very lucky individuals who doesn't have neck issues the indirect benefits of this series will include support for your jaw, pelvic floor, spine, anxiety, and sleep...just in case that interests you.

12:30pm – 1:30pm MT

Tight muscles around our spine can make us shorter. Hanna Somatics can help us release that tension so that we not only FEEL taller, but in some cases we ARE taller.

Want to let go of the pull on your spine? Try Hanna Somatics!
