Hanna Somatic Education\u00ae (also known as Hanna Somatics) is an effective form of neuromuscular (mind-body training) re-education techniques that goes directly to the root cause of most chronic muscular pain and movement restriction: the brain. By learning to regain both awareness, sensation, and motor control of muscles \u2013 an educational process that can only be achieved through movement\u00a0 \u2013 the brain can remember how to relax and contract the muscles properly. This process of sensory motor training creates improved muscle function and enhanced sensory awareness. It is the only method of pain relief and sensory motor training that targets the condition of SENSORY MOTOR AMNESIA (SMA). Sensory Motor Amnesia is the condition of chronically-tight muscles that have learned to stay contracted due to repeated and reflexive response to stress such as accidents, injuries, surgeries, repetitive tasks, and on-going emotional stress (like a pandemic). It is also a great way to achieve recovery and regeneration from fitness training.\u00a0 Join Kinesiology Faculty Brian Justin (Somatic Movement Coach and Kinesiologist) as he takes you through a 1 hour movement class to help with tightness as a result of working on a computer and the continual stress of the Covid-19 pandemic. Bring a yoga mat and be sure you have some space in your office to move and enjoy this movement massage.<\/p>\n DATE & LOCATION:\u00a0 <\/strong>May 21, 2020 from 1:00 PM — 2:00 PM<\/p>\n FACILITATOR:\u00a0 <\/strong>Brian Justin, CSEP-Clinical Exercise Physiologist\/BCAK Kinesiologist\/Movement Specialist<\/p>\n REGISTER: \u00a0<\/strong>https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/somatics-restorative-movement-for-stress-and-computer-work-tickets-105467325610<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Embodying Self-Care: Why Mindfulness Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n This presentation addresses the personal and professional development of self.
