Kristin Somatic

Kristin Somatic I'm a moving human. I help you become a moving human so you can live a full and moving life.
- Dr Kristin Fredricksson How can we all be more human?

I came to Feldenkrais after a leg injury and back problems resulting from scoliosis. I was a physical theatre performer and was looking for an intelligent approach to movement. I wanted to avoid injury and maintain my ability to do what I wanted as I got older. I hadn't quite anticipated how rich my journey with Feldenkrais would be. It is not just great for refining and understanding movement alt

hough I love how alive and freeI feel after a Feldenkrais lesson. I love walking down the road feeling weightless and bouncy! Feldenkrais has also given me a more creative and positive approach to life. I have taken risks I might otherwise not have taken. After a few months of lessons I knew I had to do the practitioner training. I did this in Paris, where I was living, between 2003 and 2008. I am passionate about sharing this work with other people. Feldenkrais has some brilliant tools to help.

I want to try out hosting an intimate Awareness Through Movement class in my new Canterbury home with tea in the garden and chat afterwards. The small group of four people will allow me to give you plenty of individual attention.

I'm proposing four classes 10, 17, 24 April & 1 May at 10am - 11.15am Fridays to start us off. Further details below.

These classes will support you to gain greater awareness of how you move, and lead towards functional movement fitness and health. The pace is slow and mindful, both easy and surprisingly challenging - this is a neurosensory class that suits the curious and open-hearted.

Booking is essential - see below.

This is for Canterbury locals, but you can attend online too if you're further afield. Attending online has its benefits. You are in the comfort and safety of your own space and you only need to listen to me, not look at the screen, so it's not so different from being in the room together. There is often a deep sharing of experience afterwards.

So, if you'd like to come and cultivate your awareness through movement, join us for four Fridays at 10am in April and May.

I am also OPEN for 1:1 Functional Integration sessions Thursdays and Fridays, also at home in Canterbury.

I hope to see you soon!

Warmly,
Kristin x

#๐Ÿ Zoom Feldenkrais. classes start Thursday ๐Ÿ‚

๏ปฟ๏ปฟAutumn rains and colours are here - a subtle season of shifts and changes. Massive spiders in the house and occasional shrieks when one is encountered closer than comfort.

If you'd like to come and notice your own shifts and changes, join us from this Thursday at 10am.

My weekly Feldenkrais class has moved online for the moment - I ๏ปฟknow there are those who only like to come in person, but if you've never tried it on Zoom, I ๏ปฟrecommend you do.

You are in the comfort and safety of your own space; you only need to listen to me, so it's not so different from being in the room - you're not glued to the screen; and there is often a deeper sharing of experience afterwards as there seems to be more intimacy.

๏ปฟI've made it affordable and will try to make it increasingly so if attendance is good.

I ๏ปฟhope to see you there!

Coming up is the Amrita Yoga + Festival in Whitstable at which I'm pleased to be teaching two classes on Sunday 22 September:

9-10am Feldenkrais Seesaw Breathing @ the Horsebridge

2.40-4.10pm Feldenkrais Bridge Masterclass @ the Horsebridge

As ever, no experience is necessary for either. You can book single tickets and multi-class passes. There are all sorts of yoga and other classes going on all weekend.

I am no longer teaching regularly in the East Kent area as I'm now doing this work with acting students in London, so this is a rare and precious occasion to share the space and learn together.

NEWS!

The next 3 weeks will be my LAST IN-PERSON WEEKLY FELDENKRAIS CLASSES in East Kent for the foreseeable future.

I am delighted to be taking up a permanent position as Feldenkrais and Movement teacher at a London drama school.

I will continue to offer Sunday workshops - these are likely to start up again in the Autumn.

I will also still offer 1:1s in Canterbury on Fridays.

I ๏ปฟwill offer a weekly Zoom-only session from the Autumn.

SOOOOoooo, come on down for some Feldenkrais goodness before it goes! You won't regret it.

There are three more weekly sessions in Margate and Whitstable.

๐Ÿ‰ JUICY JULY CLASSES START TODAY! ๐Ÿ’

Does your brain need a somatic feast this July?

Eating a delicious meal in good company increases the pleasure. Likewise with a somatic movement experience.

In a juicy somatic session, you notice and track your sensations as you move and rest. This allows you to find new ways to release locked patterns that keep your movement from flowering and your emotions from pulsing in all their vivid liveliness.

Whether you would like to feel freer in your body, or less compressed emotionally, sharing a somatic space with others enhances your personal exploration as the field echoes and enlightens your discoveries. Also, it's fun!

Graceful, light movement in yourself and in the social choreography helps lighten our days.

There are four more weekly sessions in Margate and Whitstable before the Summer break - come along. You won't regret it.

๐Ÿ‰ JUICY JULY CLASSES ๐Ÿ’

July is upon us and I have four juicy movement classes lined up for you.

You will learn how to distribute your effort more evenly, connecting movements of your centre and extremities more clearly.

You will discover new layers of nuance in your stability, strength, attention and compassion.

Balance is dynamic; it's a skill of perception and attention, not just about holding static challenging positions.

You'll also experience โ€œcore strengthโ€ in a refreshing way and and sense it in everyday actions like turning, bending and walking.

These classes will be highly functional and accessible, whatever your starting point.

Why not come to class and get juicy in your movement this July?
