45 HOURS SOMATIC MOVEMENT COURSE
A somatic movement, generally speaking, is one which is performed consciously with the intention of focusing on the internal experience of the movement rather than the external appearance or result of the movement. During this course we will explore new paradigms for movement via Neuroscience, the Fascial net, Biotensengrity, our Viscera, Body Spirals and the 8 Diaphragms.
All modules are both practical and theory based. The course is based on integral and embodied anatomy, gentle guided movement and meditations. The practices offered are influenced by the work of Thomas Myers, Jean Pierre Barral, Moshé Feldenkrais and Thomas Hanna.
This course, composed of 5 modules, is spread over 5 days (Saturdays for the Spring Course- rest of the year Fridays).
All the modules are given online via zoom. Only the practical part (embodied anatomy) of the course is recorded and accessible for 30 days. An extensive handout is sent for each module.
10 participants maximum to ensure that everyone has space for their questions.
All the modules must be followed online to qualify for the certificate.
All the homeworks must be sent to qualify for the certificate.
The curriculum focuses on human movement, and we will:
- Slow down, use the floor
- explore our own personal relationship
- explore embodied anatomy, and fascial integration
- explore our inner sensory awareness
- Draw and colour
- Exchange sensations with peers.

TESTIMONIALS - WHAT PEOPLE (really!) SAY OF THE COURSE
"I really appreciate all the material you’ve shared - it’s been incredibly enriching. Since my recent experience, I feel I’m beginning to truly embody somatic movement, and it’s been a powerful support in my healing and nervous system regulation. I’m so grateful to be part of this course." Jas - UK - 2025
" I learned how everything in the body interconnects, in different ways, through the fascia, the NS and the spiral and energetic lines. I also learned a few somatic movement practices that I can easily incorporate to my yoga classes, and help release trapped tension and emotions, correct posture and enhance well being. The course was skilfully designed in 5 distinctive modules, with great information and insights, to help me understand more about what happens when we move, and how to correct bad postural habits." Tom - 2025
"I have learned how movements impacts our nervous system and how it’s related to our fascia system. I found the course invaluable in updating my basic anatomy training and giving me so many reasons and ideas on using somatic practices in my own everyday life as well as in my chair and Mat yoga classes." Gillian 2025
" I have gained greater insight and knowledge of anatomy and somatic movement which was new to me.
how complicated the nervous system really is... an appreciation of the science behind many aspects practiced in yoga (e.g. chanting --> vagal tone) and why movement is 'good for you' (e.g. corpus collosum activity, neuroplasticity, polyvagal theory, link physical systems/processes to emotions, stimulating fascia for protein production etc). Difference between proprioception and interoception, challenging the brain to balance natural and unnatural patterns in the body, linking humans to nature, why we are who we are... importance of releasing tension from physical body for mental/emotional wellbeing AND MORE! Rebecca 2026
"I feel I've learned a lot about the impact of movement beyond its direct impact on muscles and joints. I feel I now have an understanding of the connections between the elements in the body. Also, for my western mind - the course really helped me to gain a western science perspective on how yoga works on the whole body." Andy 2026
