Soma Institute of Structural Integration

Structural Integration School Soma, through the 11-session structural format, facilitates our ability to respond creatively to an ever changing environment.

One primary component that is present in a full and healthy lifestyle, and especially apparent in healthy aging, is one's ongoing ability to embody the process of growth that requires change in our lives, both psychologically and physically. Soma is a system of bodywork, which works by way of the fascial (connective tissue) network, to release chronic, stored structural aberrations, and effectively realign the entire body. As the body rebalances itself in gravity, becoming more efficient in function and healthier with greater resistance to disease and injury, people notice more coordination and grace in movement after the Soma sessions. The result is a body that can process experiences more effectively, with greater awareness, which leads to enhanced learning and perceptual abilities. Qualities like self-reliance and creativity spontaneously emerge. Life is change and change is movement, movement in our bodies, our feelings, our thoughts, our inspirations. It is the loss of our ability to move and change our bodies, as well as our thinking processes, that continually diminishes our ability to fully experience life. In Soma we are softening the "hard wiring" and accessing more somatic options. We are not working toward the evolution of a "perfect person" by replacing old patterns with new "right ones," but rather towards a less predictable, more authentic individual who has the option to respond in new and creative ways to their environment.

To breathe or not to breathe (through your mouth)...that is the question.

Join us for an exploration of the structural ramifications of tongue and lip position, head posture, nasal vs. mouth breathing, and TMJ pathologies—deepening your understanding of intraoral work. We will refine our palpation, assessment and treatment skills as well as learn specific movement education pieces that can be directly applied to our clients day to day experience. Important ethical considerations will be discussed for working in the mouth and nose as well. This course will increase your skill, confidence and knowledge around this vital and influential part of the human being.

This quote. 💛 It's speaks truth for the world, our societies and our own bodies. In Soma we know that for healing to happen, we have to go into the pain and really be with it—we can't ignore our dark places hoping they will change. They are messages, asking for our attention and care. Only with a brave curiosity, light and love, can we heal.

We are prepping for the Somassage® workshop that starts Friday. I love this quote. It really holds the energy of the workshop—an exploration into our capacity to be curious. An energy that we, as Soma practitioners hold with every client, every single session, every day. What are you curious about these days?

Last Call! Only a few spots left and a week away, the Soma Essentials workshop is a deep dive into the world of Soma Structural Integration. Fascia bodywork, sustainable body mechanics, human relationship dynamic and bodymind synthesis strategies are just some of the topics we will discuss and practice over the four days. Visit Somassage.com for all the details (and to watch our new video).

Forward this to someone who loves to learn!
The workshop is open to all levels, total beginners and advanced massage therapists. We find that the combo is very special. The work is so different from what LMT's already know, everyone gets to play in the "beginner mind" space in the workshop!
