Somatic teachers are professionals who use the principles and techniques of somatic education to teach people how to consciously regulate their own bodily processes. They can be found working in a variety of contexts including, but not limited to educational settings, private practice, community clinics, and healthcare facilities.

What is Somatic Education?

"Somatic" is a term coined by Thomas Hanna, derived from Soma (the Greek term for the living body). The principle of Somatic Education is the ability of the brain to learn, perceive, and change the body's state through sensory motor awareness. It is a holistic approach that encourages individuals to tune into their bodies, and understand how their emotions, environment, and experiences influence their physical state.
