Teaching Shin Somatics ®
As developed by Sondra Fraleigh

 

Shin Somatics bridges intrinsic dance with integrative bodywork and somatic yoga. It utilizes principles from somatic movement education and includes the healing potentials of Japanese Butoh.

 

Shin is Japanese for:  Heart, Center,
Body, Spirit, Origin, and Tree Trunk.

 

Eastwest certifies somatic movement therapists, and provides community workshops for personal and professional growth.

 

Shin Somaticsâ Workshops Include

  • Imagery and Myth
  • Guided Movement Practice
  • Core Movement Patterning
  • Experiential Anatomy
  • Somatic Yoga
  • Hands-on Movement Therapy
  • Intuitive Dance

In Eastwest workshops, we develop verbs of permission, life enhancing words that sink into the watery soma of the body.  We move ourselves in the idea of body.  What we can do depends on what we invite to happen.  We match the outside to the inside, and arrive on time.  Strength lives in spontaneous moments of dancing when flesh finds its own expression, and the bones are so tuned to gravity that they stand by themselves.  Then we are in the flowing space of nature where spirit moves freely.”
