ONGOING TRAINING / CPD RETREAT (7-NIGHTS) YOGA & SOMATICS WITH SIMON LOW AND MARTHA PETERSON
Yoga and Somatics - theory, practice and potential
with Martha Peterson, and Simon Low
13-20 May, 2023 at Santillan Retreat, Andalucia, Spain
Martha Peterson CCSE and Simon Low are offering an ongoing training & CPD retreat sharing insight into the role of Somatic Movement as both an extraordinarily effective health and healing methodology in itself, while also a powerful therapeutic approach that can be skilfully incorporated within yoga teaching and practice.
This retreat will commence with Martha exclusively teaching 3 days of Essential Somatics Movement to enable all students to experience the deeply effective potential of Somatic Movement and pandiculation as initially developed with the teachings of Thomas Hanna and augmented by Martha’s extensive research, experience and insight. Thus students will be able to fully experience the ‘ah-ha’ understanding and effects of the role of Somatics upon their personal and multi-faceted well-being.
These 3 days of Somatic Movement study and practice also serve as the Essential Somatics ‘Fundamentals Course’ an essential prerequisite to training as an ESMTT teacher with Essential Somatics (see www.essentialsomatics.com for information relating to training as a qualified Essential Somatics teacher). NB: Martha and I are currently planning details for an ESMTT teacher training at Santillan led by Martha, starting in early 2024.
The following 3 full days of this experiential training will be led by Simon, sharing his experience of incorporating somatic principles and practices into both dynamic/yang and restorative/yin yoga classes to both broaden your teachings and practice while maintaining the ongoing beneficial impact of somatic movement within your bodies, minds and spirits.
Each of these three days will feature two 3-3.5 hour classes per day, with 3 class sessions on Thursday 18th May. The schedules for all days of this week allow time for you to enjoy some R&R at Santillan at this beautiful time of year.
As always Simon will infuse philosophical and poetic teachings into the sessions to support our paths toward our awakening to the essence of spiritual and personal growth.
