Dedication:
This class, its format and style will be in honor of my mentor, Eleanor Criswell-Hanna PhD. A lifelong educator and mentor in the groundbreaking field of Somatics and Biofeedback.
Eleanor was my second somatic mentor (after my father) and helped me find grace and ease in my yoga practice after years of pushing myself, injuring myself and not even realizing that I was doing those things!
Her teachings will always remain part of my lineage of yoga and somatic education.

About
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.
