Shin Somatics®, Onging Tutorials
Metaphysics
in Motion: Intrinsic Dance & Bodywork
featuring Land to Water Yoga
Shin Somatics®, an approach to movement education and thearpy founded by Sondra Fraleigh in 1991, recognizes the healing
power of intention. Read more about soma and intention in Sondra's book, Dancing Identity: Metaphysics in Motion (2004).
Shin Somatics tutorials cultivate intention through basic movement patterns,
somatic yoga, non-interfering touch, music, and intrinsic
dance. Butoh, the postmodern dance of Japan included in
our work, re-members body as spirit, respecting beauty
in awkwardness, pain, and humor. Core lessons in somatic kinesiology and integrative bodywork
excavate body memories and possible-selves. Our work is
objective, also recognizing the existence of interdependent
energy fields of great potential and light. Compassionate
connections are waiting to happen, alive in each moment
of awareness, each person's complex, mindful movement,
and handsome body. When a student in the Eastwest Japan Program (2004) asked Sondra to define the guiding
principle of her work, she replied: "To encourage
the natural being of each person to shine."
