Somatic Awakening Results…
Emily Rieker, Cardiac Nurse
"This 3 day retreat took at least 15 years off my face. I felt so vibrant and relaxed. My family said they barely recognized me. I look like whole new person!"
Adele Guerra, Founder of Yoga Path Wellness
"Since the opening of my yoga studio life has been full! I lost touch with the way my body was moving and feeling that I got use to the pain.
I embraced the opportunity to attend a somatic retreat with Free Your Soma for a magical 4 days! A much need time to become present and awaken my body to connect with my spiritual and emotional consciousness. Thank you Aimee Takaya for your guidance and authentic love with helping me and others connect with their Soma!"
David Kell, Retired Special Needs Teacher
"I was impressed with the value and transformation during this retreat! The food was delightful and I left with so much peace and balance in my body! FIVE STARS!"
ABOUT OUR PRACTICES
Hanna Somatic Movement
Ever feel a tight muscle in your neck and shoulder and wish you could "undo" the contraction and release the pain?
This is exactly what you learn to do in Hanna Somatic Movement. This little known modality of movement and bodywork is incredibly effective at training your nervous system to release chronically contracted muscles.
Every life experience comes with a muscular pattern: from daily stress, sitting at a desk to major traumas and car accidents. These tension patterns layer on our bodies and create immobility, pain and discomfort.
Using this powerful, gentle, deeply sensuous movement technique, you will release and lengthen tight muscles back to a more natural length and feel a sense of peace, calm and freedom within your body, mind and spirit.
Private Hanna Somatic Bodywork
You will be expertly guided and assisted in addressing your specific aches, pains and challenges with gentle, loving touch.
Hanna Somatic Body work is a rapidly effective neurological-muscular re-education method that effectively reduces muscle tension, pain and disconnection.
It is generally painless and deeply relaxing and because it is your nervous system making the changes and adjustments, the effects are often deep and long-lasting.
You will learn where and how your body is holding tension and what you can do to release what binds you.
After the bodywork you may feel:
-ready for nap!-ready to move!
-deeply calm and centered in your self-energy
-a sense of ease and flow in movement
-optimistic and joyful-impressed your body's ability to find peace
