“We participate in our own evolution by contacting body wisdom, nurturing our nature, healing old wounds and embodying new ways of being."

Somatic Expression BODY WISDOM FOR MODERN TIMES

Your body is an evolving expression of nature. With Somatic Expression, you get to know your body from the inside out using the five pre-verbal languages nature gave you for healthy well-being. These languages are:

      Breath

      Vocalization

      Contact

      Movement

      Stillness

Learning these fundamental languages of your thinking body - soma - and bringing them out - expression - enables more grace, ease and pleasure.

Somatic Expression is an innovative approach to somatic education, expressive arts therapy and mind-body integration developed by Jamie McHugh over the past 30 years. Somatic Expression synthesizes elements of the Alexander Technique, Body-Mind Centering, Continuum, Halprin Life/Art Dance, Feldenkrais, Mindfulness Meditation, Process-Oriented Psychology, and Taoist practices.

People of all ages and backgrounds worldwide have experienced the benefits of Somatic Expression in a variety of settings.

Jamie offers Somatic Expression workshops and trainings throughout the United States and Europe.

He provides individual sessions in San Francisco and Sea Ranch, and retreats at Sea Ranch.

Please see the calendar for upcoming events.
