Each month for 2025 we feature a New Fun Journey (See full list below).
For the month of August welcome to our focus of "BASE". The beginning of a 3 month series that takes us on a “journey through the body” with monthly foci BASE, CORE then UPPER.
Focus: Foundation, Steps & Stances
Intent: Ground, the hands that touch the earth
Sign up: https://www.somaranch.com/booking/journey
All 30 classes are provided online via Zoom.
The August Journey “The BASE” is all about the foundation of systemic movement. Providing you with classes that provide exploration of
steps, stances,
how to ground our body through our feet and
sense these incredible feet, sensing them as the hands that touch the earth.
Some class Foci will explore the essentials of Foundational BASE movement, for example
Sense the stability of your feet as the firm foundation for the mobility of your body.
Sense the 7,000 nerve endings in each foot like fascinating messengers who provide a wealth of fabulous information
Sense the 3 arches of your feet (inner, outer, transverse)
“Isolate to Integrate” sense the 3 part movement of your heel lead “ReLaX”
Other classes will explore duality and contrast between foundational principles, for example.
Steps and Stances, sense the stillness of stances and the motion of steps becoming aware of the Body’s way of simultaneous stability and mobility of the body
Sense how we step like “Dancing through life” and Stance like a “Living Meditation”
Sense the relationship between your hip, knee and ankle joints
