This series is comprised of 8 individual lessons, teaching you to
release unconsciously held muscles beginning at the core of the body
out to the periphery. You will also learn the "Daily Somatic Essentials", a sequence of exercises that
can be done anytime, anywhere, in as little as 5 minutes, in order to maintain better flexibility, coordination,
and balance, resulting in a decrease of the aches and pains commonly
attributed to injury and aging. Because this is a progressive class, please make
every effort to attend all the classes. Missed classes can be made up at a later time, as we re-run this class regularly. Instructor: Kim Saumell. $90 per 8 class card, or $14 per class.
