The soma not only refers to our physical body but to our living, perceiving and experiencing body. Somatic intelligence therefore is the ability to perceive accurately. Restoring somatic intelligence enables you to notice unnecessary tension in the body, your and others. The Alexander Technique teaches the skill and art of guiding optimal body poise and function. This enables conscious self-regulation and support true presence of mind – what I like to call in-tense-tional living at its best.

Stress, pain, and illness are exacerbated and often caused by an unintegrated body habits. Our bodies are designed to flow with grace, lightness and strength. Habits of tension, anxiety, and frustration are physically and mentally disruptive. Learning to consciously direct your body can shift tension and anxiety into fluid, strong confidence.

Somatic intelligence or accurate body perception helps us to regulate our own nervous system and this restores the equilibrium necessary for good health.

Meditative practices are highly beneficial for releasing tension, however there is more. Transformation lies in consciously directing tension in the body. This nurtures a more robust capacity and vitality within.

Experiential knowledge of the principles of the Alexander Technique, combined with innovative somatic practices, can help us to nurture strength, peace and clarity in an increasingly fast-paced modern world.

Individual somatic coaching is essential to anyone wanting to stay physically well and intellectually competent.
