SOMAdublin Somatic Education with Katrin Neue

21/03/2026

A great finish to a great day of teaching with my colleague - a beautiful sunset over the still frozen Baltic Sea followed by a lovely dinner at Paseo (cafe&grill&sauna) !

We worked on the more subtle layers of our Somatic Movement practice with a group of dedicated women - how to use the movements and repetition as a vehicle for our attention and presence, how to create constraints to become more clear on where we move and how and how to get better at doing nothing TM

On for a restful evening and a second day tomorrow in Espoo!

Planning another small group Somatics workshop day in May! A shorter beginner's session in the morning, followed by a Part 2 to the Finding Centre workshop I ran this month. Looking at May 9/10th potentially?

Early spring - wild strawberries, geum, oregano and aquilegia all bursting into life
It will be a year back in the garden, grief took that and buried it for a while

Thursday evening teaching is starting :)
If you want to learn how to work on the reformer in a group class, Thursdays at 7.45 is your chance! We run small groups, everyone is lovely and supportive and you can get stronger and more coordinated too :)

The world's next 4 knitters have knitted their first full row! Let the fun begin! 'Something happened!' 'I made a stitch!!'
It's fantastic to watch my crafty kids talk themselves through the movement of forming a new stitch. The swing between frustration and euphoria, the deep concentration... as adults we are really not very challenged with *brandnew* skills. We might branch out into similar activities based on our current skill set, but it's rare to do something really new and unfamiliar to us.

Which new skill would you like to learn? Mine is spinning on a wheel. The medium is fibre, the new coordination is treading a pedal at a consistent speed, while either hand has to do a different motion and feeling how much fibre is being used, the eyes have to check in with the hands, the bobbin, the remaining fibre...

While it's still winter elsewhere, Ireland celebrates the start of spring with St Brigid's day. Imbolc
Everywhere are signs of new life bursting from the soil. I had a real push to clear away leaves from concrete and discovering new leaves, first flowers and lots of bright green!

A new client who joined my class today experienced the wonders of Somatic Education and a fun work out - we worked with Somatic Movements to release the tension in the torso, followed by fun 💅 strengthening exercises and balancing.
If your parents are timid when it comes to exercising or have had surgery, injuries and just don't feel confident enough to join a group class, I LOVE working with the retired population!
In my studio, I utilise a reformer, bands, a high mat (no need to get onto the floor), some manual therapeutic education as well as lots of adjacent information about pain management, breathing, pelvic floor balance, revisiting exercises giving by a physio, etc.

'Excellence and Integrity!' Derek

I also teach specific classes at Live&Breathe on Wednesday at 12, Fit for Life. They're a great bunch of social friendly people who like a workout and are curious about movement (and up for shenanigans).

PM me if you would like to get a bit fitter, move better and feel more at home in your body!

New kit to play around with! A springwall to do standing work, use the rolldown bar, so many options especially for my clients who need one step at a time and are intimidated by all the moving parts of the reformer. It partly replaces a tower or cadillac. Perfwct for functional, upright springassisted movement training!
Now to get someone in who can securely attach it to the wall and we'll be ready to go!
