Continuing Somatics

Continue where we left off in Introduction to Somatics. Each of the four classes in this series will concentrate on relieving tension and restoring balance in specific areas of your body. Possible areas of focus include neck and jaw pain, hip tension, and walking with ease. In the introductory class, we cover the basics. In this class, we get to play and explore. Exercises are performed on the floor using a yoga mat. 

This course is taught online via Zoom from North Seattle College. For the best experience, plan to have your camera on and positioned, so the instructor can see you lying on your yoga mat.
