Shin Somatics®, Ongoing Workshops and Tutorials
in St George Utah
Intrinsic Dance & Bodywork, featuring Land to Water Yoga
Opportunity for Home Study to earn extra levels of credit
Shin Somatics®, an approach to movement education and therapy 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 (20004)
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. In the photograph above, Jaclyn Moynahan of New York City teaches Shin Somatics® Land to Water Yoga. Jaclyn, a graduate of Eastwest Somatics Institute and certified teacher, leads the NYC tutorials. Sondra Fraleigh leads the St. George Utah workshops and joins tutorials in NYC periodically.
