Somatics with Katrin Neue
Tuesday and Thursday, 10.30am
Fridays, 11am
Take the opportunity to slow down and take a fresh look at how we move without the pressure of mastering a repertoire. Become better at letting go of stressful tension, zoom in on your breathing and move your body gently into all directions.
Somatic Movement can bring you back to a harmonious sense of space and freedom of movement. Hanna’s work is a deep look at function and the ‘mind in movement’ that feels calming and refreshing, and cultivates a kind and inquisitive mindset.
