Somatic Exploration and Conditioning

An explorative class to improve health, vitality and well being with a side of inspiration for new possibilities.

Think about learning about your body and how to leverage your body mind connection in ways you should have learned when starting to move as a kid in the first place.

This somatic play and conditioning class is a space for exploration, individual questions, playfulness, curiosity, and growth no matter if you have never done anything like this or are looking to deepen your practice and understanding and widen the scope of your experiences.

What is the class about:
We start every class with a group warm up together to create the space in which we then explore.
The purpose of this class is primarily to have a space to both tip toe into new experiences and/or go deeper in certain practices you might already be doing.
In each class there will be some suggestions for exploration related to somatic and body work, Fly High Yoga poses with the Fly High Yoga belt, Qigong, somatic stretching or similar disciplines.

The general idea is to use the space to try out new possibilities of how to relate with the body in ways that support posture and coordination, reduce internal friction and restriction, as well as improve flow and overall well being and vitality.

Here are some of the ingredients you may find in this class - elements of:

- FLY HIGH YOGA (a specific type of aerial Yoga that is focused on precise alignment and deep work both structurally and with the nervous system)
- DEVELOPMENTAL MOVEMENT (movements that new born and infants use instinctively to build the foundation for any further development of movement patterns, strength and coordination . done as an adult this serves us to reset the body back into its own most authentic, body-intelligence based state of being and functioning)
- QIGONG (ancient Chinese disciplines to optimize health, flow, vitality and energy levels - exercises that combine the mind, energy and body in harmonious ways)
- SOMATIC STRETCHING (specific stretching exercises that focus on re-building a trust based connection between the mind, nervous system and our structure allowing for deeper relaxation, and improved mobility and flexibility)
- MULTISTYLE CONDITIONING (body weight based strength and conditioning training based on somatic disciplines and aerial training)
- MOBILITY AS A HOLISTIC METHOD (mobility and flexibility of the body is never fully disconnected from our nervous system and state of mind - these methods help to optimize this connection to support and improve movement plasticity, body awareness and individual mobility enhancing methods)
- MINDFULNESS AND ADVANCED AWARENESS (specific multi style tools to improve perception and awareness as cornerstones for increased control and clarity with physical states and processes)
- PARTNER SUPPORT EXERCISES (some classes may include the option to explore postures on the ground or in the Fly High Yoga belt with the support of a partner to safely go deeper into poses and understand ones structure and possibilities on a deeper level this might include basics of therapeutic touch, acro Yoga basics or acro Fly High)

The class is for first timers, explorers and veterans alike!
