Discover How to Move Beyond Your Limitations
Reawaken your brain to body potential: An introduction to Somatic Movement Education.
More Yoga Will Fix Your Movement Problems?
Wrong. Repetition of similar movements only serves to strengthen the movement pattern, increasing muscular imbalances and creating further tension.
Teaching multiple classes a week affects your body through adapting unconscious movement patterns over the course of many years.
Without a full understanding of the interconnectedness of muscular function and movement patterning, how you are currently using your body will start to create problems.
For instance, tension develops when you favour one side of your body when demonstrating asana, not making enough time to properly warm up weight-bearing joints and along with the habitual movement patterns created through continuous practice.
Multiplying your practice to get rid of these imbalances is not a sustainable solution. In fact, this will only reinforce these imbalances and subsequent tension likely to be created.
An additional concern shared by many yoga teachers is how to successfully address multi-level students who experience a multitude of muscular issues and postural problems.
So, what is really going on?
In truth, your movement - and that of your students - is a result of the patterns you’ve developed over the course of your life. Think of lifestyle habits, how you practice yoga, injuries, accidents or surgeries you've experienced. Your brain has adopted these patterns and labelled them as normal movement, whether or not this produces tension.
Essentially, what’s standing between you and a more embodied way of practising and teaching yoga is a full understanding of brain to body communication.
That is exactly what we teach at Align Somatics through a simple application of Think, Feel, Move.

What Other Yoga Teachers Have to Say About Somatic Movement Education
This training will offer you some fantastic skills in helping your clients to begin a true dialogue with their bodies. You will also begin or enhance your own inner dialogue - this work is life-changing stuff. Tanya Fitzpatrick is a highly skilled Somatic Educator who also really knows how to convey and share her knowledge with others - and is highly motivated to do so. I cannot recommend this training highly enough.
This was the most amazing course I have attended for a long time. It rekindled my interest in human anatomy and particularly alignment. Alignment is so vital for a healthy and pain free life. In addition, as a yoga teacher incorporating it into my classes brings a whole new dimension to Yoga Sutra 2.46 ‘The physical postures should be steady and comfortable’
