Somatic Exercises are what set up you up to move in the first place. Before you exercise, your muscles need to be readied for action. You can do like a lot of people and not prepare yourself or you can do what all healthy vertebrate animals do, they do their Somatics first thing in the morning and periodically throughout the day, and they do it everyday… with a healthy body healthy mind.

The process of what animals do is called a pandiculation. You can think of this as yawning, though it goes much deeper than the definitions you’ll find. In fact it only describes the act and not the result of what you observe when an animal appears to stretch.

The result of this act is a process. And it is this process that was identified by Thomas Hanna as the pandicular response. An animal contracts to arouse it’s brain and it has the wherewithal to pay attention to the release. It knows what needs to be contracted since the animal can sense what muscles have shortened overnight and even during sedentary times in the day.

How does an animal remain agile, flexible, move effortlessly and appear to us as grace in motion?

Somatic Educators know and understand the process. How would you like to … have a healthy body healthy mind?

Find out for yourself now.

You may discover a new exercise method, which is mainly using the part of your brain which resets the resting levels of your muscles. It’s a brain event and healthy animals access it all the time. And if you love your current exercise, this will just add a foundation to all of your movement practices.

I love what Mel Siff, Author of Facts & Fallacies of Fitness has to say – “programming your brain is more important than strength training and aerobics. Central Nervous programming must never be neglected at all stage of training”. In other words, something has to program our movements and now we know that our brain, namely the motor cortex, can change itself and all healthy animals are doing it every day.

You gotta wonder what happened to the human animal along the way… Don’t! You can Pandiculate yourself to higher levels of performance, even if it just means being able to tie your shoe.

Can a healthy body have a healthy mind? You betcha.
