Soma 11 Series
The Soma 11 Series works to rebuild the entire body, one session at a time.
11 sessions, each one built on the last in order to re-balance the fascial network in the entire body.
In addition to the hands-on work in each session, we teach
Movement Re-education
Provide a Journey book with reading materials
Reflective questions & Journaling
All to help support integration into everyday life which provides longer lasting results.
The 11 Series is broken out into sections as follows:
The Sleeve Sessions
The Sleeve Sessions are where the journey begins! It brings balance to your body's existing structure by gently releasing the fascia surrounding the larger muscle groups, often referred to as “the sleeve.”
Through this work, we begin creating more freedom, and ease in the way your body moves, breathes, and feels.
Session 1: Rib Cage
Focus Area: Releasing the fascia surrounding the rib cage and creating length and openness through the neck and lower back.
Benefits: Enjoy a greater sense of lightness and well-being, a more upright posture, and the freedom to take fuller, deeper breaths.
Session 2: Legs & Feet
Focus Area: Bringing attention to the legs and feet. This session helps establish balance and support from the ground up.
Benefits: Feel more grounded, stable, and connected to the world around you. It's all about finding your footing, both physically and energetically!
Session 3: Sides of the Body
Focus Area: Exploring the connections between the pelvis, rib cage, and shoulder girdle to encourage greater balance and freedom throughout the body.
Benefits: Experience more expansive breathing, deeper relaxation, and a renewed sense of energy.
The Core Sessions
Now, we turn our attention inward to the body's center to bring out the deeper, more lasting benefits of this work. These sessions focus on reorganizing, awakening, and bringing new life to your inner support system: your legs, pelvis, spine, and the deep muscles that help hold you up and keep you moving.
Sessions 4, 5 & 6: Vertical Core
Focus Area: Working with the body's central support system, gently adjusting and lengthening the core line that runs down the vertical center through your body. Think of it as creating more space, balance, and support from the ground up.
Benefits: Enjoy improved balance, greater freedom of movement, and a lighter, more effortless stride. Walking and everyday movement can begin to feel easier, smoother, and require much less energy.
Session 7: Head, Face & Neck
Focus Area: Releasing tension and restrictions in the muscles and fascia of the neck, face, and head, allowing everything to settle into greater ease.
Benefits: A softer, more relaxed appearance, along with a greater sense of self-confidence, independence, and personal power. It's about feeling more at ease in your own skin.
The Integrative Sessions
These final sessions bring everything together! They're an important part of creating the lasting benefits of the Soma 11 Series. Focusing on integration, balance, and whole-body connectivity, we help your body and mind embrace this new way of moving, feeling, and experiencing the world.
Think of this as putting all the pieces of the puzzle together, helping your body make the most of everything you've accomplished along the way.
Sessions 8 & 9: Integration
Focus Area: Bringing the lower body and then the upper body together, helping everything work in greater harmony and with more ease and efficiency.
Benefits: Less tension and stress, more available energy, and a greater sense of balance as your body's structure learns to work more comfortably with gravity.
Session 10: Arms & Shoulders
Focus Area: Releasing and integrating the arms and shoulders, while reconnecting them with the rest of the body.
Benefits: Arms that feel lighter and freer, more relaxed shoulders, and a greater sense of connection throughout your torso. Everyday movements can feel smoother and more natural.
Session 11: Whole-Body Integration
Focus Area: Bringing the entire body together, integrating the changes from all the previous sessions into one more balanced, connected, and efficient system.
Benefits: Greater ease, less physical stress, and more energy for everyday life.
The goal is to help your body move with greater freedom and balance, so you can feel more comfortable, connected, and at home in your body.
