Event Overview

Living with stiffness and pain? Have you tried everything for relief, but were told "Its part of aging", or "You just have to live with it?" The answer lies in your body's deep-set movement patterns.

Somatics is a method of neuromuscular retraining developed by Dr. Thomas Hanna. Our muscles become tight or restricted due to habitual patterns, emotional stress, injuries or trauma. In this workshop, you will learn a series of slow and gentle exercises that release held muscle tension and retrain habitual movement patterns.

Somatics is a highly effective tool to relieve chronic pain. The exercises also provide endless benefits for yogis and anyone seeking ease and effortlessness in your body.

Yoga & Somatics is about body-mind integration. These mindful movements paired with calming breathwork reeducate the brain to relax and restore functionally to our whole body.

It's a different kind of movement training - and it's incredibly effective.

Mary Lou Cerami, RYT will guide this workshop with clear, relevant and heartfelt attention and focus. Most movements will be taught on a yoga mat on the floor with plenty of props and support.

Class is located at One Key Yoga studio in Ravenswood neighborhood, near Edgewater. Plenty of paid and free street parking is nearby.
