I have Thomas Hanna's book Somatics (1988). I am grateful for the visual demonstration - it helps me a lot. Thank you. I will continue to follow your demonstrations.

Hello Patricia, it's so fun for me to hear that people like yourself has Thomas Hanna's book. It's incredible to know how much influence he had on this field in a short amount of time (due to his early and sudden death). I'm honored to be part of the legacy he left behind and sharing my interpretation of his work, combined with my other education and experience. I've intended to keep the neuroscience of Hanna Somatics pure, and weaving in longer soma scans along with Bioenergetics.

Should you do every day? And all variations or just the ones that feel good to you? I’ve got a lateral and forward pelvic tilt and feel tension up the spine… the last one doesn’t feel overly comfortable particularly on one side, wonder if I should keep trying…. Thanks

Hi there. I'm so sorry, but I am just now seeing your question and you asked it 8 months ago. One of my other staff members must have "hearted" it but did not forward it to me.

The short answer is that you can explore the same movement every day, as long as you change the vector (angle) in each repetition, and also you can break the movement down into smaller movements - we call it means-where-by, which comes from the Alexander technique. Basically, you want to keep the brain-to-muscle learning fresh - sensing and feeling the sensations along the way (interoception). And, finding your inner yes by moving in a way that feels good and safe to your body. Listenting to the messages and self-correcting. As your body continues to unwind and repattern, you might find that you can gain range of motion and be able to move in more ways. I hope this helped?
