Somatics

Somatics is the study of the body and its processes as perceived by first-person experience. Developer of Somatics T. Hanna, describes Somatics as "the use of sensory-motor learning to gain greater voluntary control of one's physiological process."

From this framework of understanding, Somatic Education developed as a system of neuromuscular awareness-cultivation and exercise (mind-body training) that enables the student to enjoy deeper relaxation, greater flexibility and coordination, relative freedom from joint and muscle pain, and more comfortable movement.

Horacio generally employs a 10 - 20 week program of twice-weekly classes where students learn and solidify the core exercises, new postural and movement patterns, and related proprioceptive awareness that help make the changes become a lasting adaptation.
