Class description SOMA – Somatic Oriented Movement Attunement is a process of dynamic Rebalancing through Movement via a guided dance open-tasked research and movement approach. It is aimed to bring a sense of Presence, Embodiment & Awareness of the entire Body. The goal is to discover the body’s infinite possibilities of motion within a sustainable and conscious framework; to become still while moving and to connect to that state of Presence that energises the body while making it available and attuned for movement transfers and creative energetic flow. Movement is researched as a tool for Body Awareness & Intuitive Expression.
