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.

As massage therapists, we want our practices to be welcoming and warm. However, we may be missing meaningful opportunities. There are numerous ways we can support a wider variety of clients in diverse communities that we may have overlooked. In the class Understanding Health Equity for Bodyworkers, instructor Nirvana Kelly Scott will guide us into becoming more aware of these factors, and she will playfully help us notice how to make our practices more inclusive and welcoming.

In this class, we’ll:
-Learn how to think about an individual’s health in the context of the systems that impact them.
-Explore how structural forces, such as bias, racism, and poverty, shape health outcomes.
-Collaborate on what to do to cultivate a more equitable healthcare practice.
-Become aware of ways we can create more equity in our practices—whether that’s through adjusting our intake process or forms, updating our marketing materials, or changing the furniture in our waiting rooms, to name a few.

“This workshop is a great opportunity for truly all levels of bodywork experience. I came in new to bodywork and nervous, but was reminded how breath, listening, grounding and intentionality are the anchor of this work. I am leaving feeling energized, embodied, excited and in integrity with the healing I want to do.”
—I.D., no prior bodywork experience

The days are starting earlier, excitement is in the air. The students are learning Session #3 this week and feeling the energy of Series build. But, learning and change takes time. Bit by bit, layer by layer, the students are deepening their understanding and embodiment of the work, just like the suns' slow and steady march north each morning across the eastern sky.

We got to put on our gloves this weekend for our Craniofacial Harmony Class! With the head and neck, there's so much to address in such a small space. And fun to recognize the value of proper tongue posture and nasal breathing to the Line and Core support.

Can’t believe it, midterms already? Lots of deep learning and studying, conversations and considerations. And a rainbow for good luck for our students taking their tests this afternoon!
