Most of us are holding onto tension we don’t even know we have. Over time, stress and daily habits can shape the way we move—and not always in helpful ways. This workshop is an opportunity to pause, listen, and gently retrain the nervous system through slow, intentional movement.

You’ll learn simple somatic exercises designed to help release chronic muscle tension, improve awareness of your body’s patterns, and restore more easeful, natural movement. These movements aren’t about stretching or strength—they’re about sensing and softening, and learning how to move with less effort.

Perfect for anyone curious about reducing pain, improving mobility, or simply feeling more at home in their body. No yoga or movement experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to slow down.

Many issues like chronic pain, joint wear, and recurring injuries stem from how we use our bodies daily – the way we sit, stand, and move. Our nervous system plays a key role in guiding these actions, signaling which muscles to engage, when to relax, and how to hold ourselves even when we're at rest.

Over time, our nervous system learns these movements, and repetitive actions become ingrained as muscle memory. While muscle memory helps us navigate life more efficiently, it can also reinforce habits that contribute to discomfort, like consistently favoring one leg when standing.

Somatic movement exercises offer a way to retrain these deep-seated patterns by actively engaging the nervous system through slow, mindful movements. These techniques help release chronic muscle tension and restore natural, pain-free movement, allowing your body to move with greater ease and without strain.

After several weeks of Somatic Movement classes, Sue's clients have reported reduced back and hip pain.
