Our Series of Springtime Somatics Sessions starting February 2017 with Katrin are designed to build body awareness and help you to discover and then release tension in your body.
Somatics Session 1 – Taut Backs
Saturday 25th February 2pm – 3:30pm
Learn somatic solutions to ease your taut back muscles through simple movements you can do any time you need. In this 90 minute workshop class, we will focus on how to make the back soften and relax to increase well being, de-stress and improve mobility. No previous is experience necessary, this workshop is suitable for anyone who experiences tension in the back, who has on going back pain or is recovering from surgical intervention.
Somatics Session 2 – Tense Hips
Saturday 25th March 2pm – 3:30pm
Learn somatic solutions to improve efficient movement and mobility for your hips! If you run, cycle or sit for a prolonged time every day, you might know the feeling of stiffness in the hips, the outside of the legs and your buttocks. In this workshop, you will learn fundamental movements you can practice whenever you feel this tension is creeping up again (or practice daily to not get tight in the first place!). No previous experience necessary, this workshop is suitable for everyone who wants to improve gait pattern, ease out the hips without stretching and soften the hamstrings.
Somatics Session 3 – Tight Shoulders
Saturday April 22nd 2pm – 3:30pm
Do you hear ‘drop your shoulders’ quite frequently in class? Then this workshop is for you. Learn how to take back control of the muscles of your shoulders and neck, using Somatic Movement. We will work on releasing the front and back of the trunk to bring back ease of motion. This workshop is particularly interesting for everyone who is working at a desk! No previous experience necessary, learn some simple to practice movements that will leave you feel like after a massage without the price tag.
Book Somatics for Tight Shoulders
Somatics Session 4 – Sciatica
Saturday May 13th 2pm – 3:30pm
Learn somatic solutions for Sciatic nerve irritation in this workshop class. Simple, small movements with a dramatic effect on improving mobility safely and easing sciatica are what you are going to learn. If you feel walking is strenuous or even impossible for more than a couple of minutes, Somatic Movement can help you regain control over the muscles that contribute to sciatic nerve irritations. Even if your Sciatica is coming from a disk bulge rather than a tightly held backside, you can expect feeling better with a bit of practice. Excellent for Piriformis Syndrome, sciatica and after accidents that left you feeling lopsided.
You can book individual sessions or sign up for all 4 with our discounted pass for €85.
Katrin is also available for Clinical Somatics one to one sessions in the studio.

This two day introductory course is for anyone with an interest in learning about or seeking to deepen their understanding of Hanna Somatics for their own personal education and exploration. No prior experience or training is required to participate.
