Life's challenges take us off balance.  This is when a helping hand can  guide us to find a sense of safety and stability to build balance and confidence for physical, emotional and mental health.
 
When we are in unresolved pain, whether physical, mental and/or emotional, trauma is likely to be stored in the cells, sometimes having uncomfortable affects on the neurological system.
 
A Somatic approach offers muscular-skeletal re-education.  Available for your personally designed in-depth enquiry in a One to One session with Kathryn Varley.  No knowledge of yoga necessary. Just show up as you are on the day.  Curious?  Contact Kathryn for a free 30 min chat.
 
Somatic movement offers personalised support for how you feel in the day. A session includes an individual and personally evolving practise for a safe at home personal exploration.  Suitable for when we are in need of extra support in helping to navigate the challenges of day to day life. One to One Somatics allows time to address injuries or areas of the body that feel awkward or unsettled as well as parts of the mind that need a little extra time to settle.

On a physical level, we often find, over time that the muscles may be pulling the skeleton away from alignment.  A Somatic approach to movement allows times to trace the origins of any disruptive muscular-skeletal changes from any unusual or repetitive habits that may be causing pain or straining the posture of body and the mind.  A private session may be considered a bonus to exploration and rehabilitation.

Small regular Classes are available for those ready to engage in community with others to explore this route as a possibility to bring into their personal yoga practice, whether in class or privately in the comfort of your home.  
 
Background Research
During his years of research as a philosopher Hanna developed Clinical Somatic Education, known today as Hanna Somatic Education.  Hanna followed in the steps of Moshe Feldenkrais whose method uses enhancement of one's awareness to address dormant areas of the Self and promote larger and more graceful ease of mobilisation.  In so doing, this utilises the nervous system's own ability to create change and improve movement.

Testimonials

In my teens I had rods inserted into my spine to support a scoliosis.  Many years later the rods were removed leaving me in  pain along with neurological challenges and restricted movement.  I came to see Kathryn, without any expectation. The effects were remarkable. For the first time, since surgery, I could feel primal reflexes in my spine and head.  I now have a specific home practice and continue to attend weekly classes to expand, explore rest and relax, and with more connectivity gain a greater understanding of change and its boundless gifts.  I feel so grateful.

I can't believe after years suffering with neck and back pain, having sports injury massages, osteopath, pain killers, then just a couple of classes with Kathryn and there is an easeful tension release. I walked into  class in lot of pain and walked out pain free. I shall keep up the practice at home in between classes.   Thank you.  Joanna, class attendee
