Budding Lotus Body

Budding Lotus Body I am a Certified Hanna Somatic Educator offering 1-on-1 sessions and group classes in Santa Fe, NM and globally online.

It is my desire to support others to reach their goals, whether it is increased mobility, less pain, feeling embodied or relaxation. I offer Hanna Somatic Education classes and private sessions online and in-person in Santa Fe, NM. This practice is designed to work with chronic tension and pain in the body and help ease limitations, pain and lack of coordination. I trained at the Novato Institute for Somatic Research & Training.

I have been teaching a weekly, in-person class at Quail Run fitness center in Santa Fe since September and I am so grateful for the fabulous group of students who are returning each week. They are seeing the cumulative benefits of this practice and are committed to returning each week to continue feeling good, moving well, and enjoying the community they have created.

If you are a member of Quail Run, come join us on Tuesdays at 11:45am for Hanna Somatics!

In Hanna Somatics we use differentiation as a technique. Through slow, gentle, mindful movement, we begin to differentiate how each part of us moves, where there is already ease, and where there is potential for change.

Once we can differentiate our shoulder, from our rib cage, or our hip from our ankle in a movement, we can begin to refine our movement quality. This in turn helps us coordinate our movements better as a whole.

Our whole system is always moving together; differentiation can help us highlight where there are kinks, catches, and/or limitations. Once we become aware of these areas we are able to create change.

Our habitual tension patterns may give us the sense of a divided self if we only sense pain and therefore assume it is purely physical, or we only sense sadness and believe it is only an emotional experience.

While our physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual experiences might have different intensities, or we might be more attuned to one over the others, we are a whole, connected, living experience of it all.

Because these experiences are all interwoven, as we bring ease to one, the others can ease too. When we release physical tension, we may feel emotions move, ease, or dissipate. When we become more mindful, our muscles may soften.

This is what I love about Hanna Somatics. It embraces the entirety of our living experience and works with our wholeness to shift our unconscious habits.

Intrigued? Join me for my upcoming series From Habits to Wholeness starting January 7th (online and in person) or reach out to me for a 1:1 Hanna Somatics session. I would love to share this practice with you. Visit https://buddinglotusbody.com/hanna-somatic-education/somatics-sessions/ for more details.

Join me January 7th for my next series: From Habits to Wholeness ✨

In this series you will experience slow, gentle movement techniques to unlearn your habitual tension patterns and gain greater ease, coordination, and movement freedom. We will journey through your muscles, joints, and fascia, each class offering a new area of physical focus and relationship to your whole soma. As you release old patterns and cultivate new ones, you may notice decreased pain, increased mobility, improved balance, deeper rest, and enhanced performance in daily and recreational activities.

As a Certified Hanna Somatic Educator and Pain Reprocessing Therapy Practitioner, part of my job is to help people help themselves. I teach them techniques, I give them lots of tools, I invite them to get curious about themselves, and then in most cases, they don't need me!

Want to free up your psoas and hip flexors?

Try out these slow, gentle movements. Move slowly and within your comfortable range and avoid creating pain. Small ranges to start can get you to greater ranges of ease as you practice these over time.

Explore 3-5 of each movement and if they feel good, try them out daily for a week.

If you have enjoyed these Hanna Somatic movements and would like to experience more for your hips, join me for my Glutes & Groins class series December 3rd - December 17th.
