Seated Somatic Exercises with Music

How Do the Movements Work?

Somatic exercises engage the nervous system in an active learning process that consists of very slow, focused, conscious movements. Movements can be very slight, even imagined, and get excellent results.

What Music Selections are Best?

Music listened to between 15-25 years of age

Music from one’s own culture, family traditions, and/or community

Music from a particular spiritual tradition

Music in a preferred style

These exercises can be done sitting at a desk, driving a car, or for people who are not comfortable laying on the floor.

The music chosen for these videos was intended for our oldest population who listened to music of their youth in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s.
