Somatic Inquiries: The Developmental Movement Patterns

In this class we will explore the developmental movement patterns, which are innate neuro-muscular patterns that develop from in utero through adulthood. Often, through injury, illness or life experiences, these patterns can be broken or weakened. By re-visiting, exploring and strengthening them we can greatly expand our movement potential. This class is experiential and creative. Whether you are a performer, athlete or simply a person who would like to experience greater ease and efficiency in your body, this class is for you!
