What is Hanna Somatics?
Hanna Somatics is a gentle, neuromuscular movement practice designed to retrain your brain and body. It helps release chronic muscular tension, improve mobility, and reduce pain by working with the nervous system rather than forcing the body into stretches or exercises. The practice is based on the concept of pandiculation, a natural movement that allows muscles to relax and regain their full range of motion.
How can Hanna Somatics help?
Over time, stress, habits, and repetitive movements cause our muscles to remain tight even when they’re not in use. This leads to stiffness, discomfort, and fatigue. Hanna Somatics teaches you to:
Recognise and release chronic muscular tension.
Calm the nervous system and move out of a constant "fight, flight, freeze" state.
Regain control of your muscles for easier, pain-free movement.
Through slow, mindful movements, you reawaken the connection between your brain and body, restoring natural movement patterns and improving overall well-being.
