Somatic movements start with the strongest movers of our core, muscles closest to the spine. These groups of muscles are responsible for your relationship with gravity, here is where your balance is fine tuned. In most of us, the core muscles are held taunt as if balance were a static process, rather than a continuing process of give and take.
Somatic exercises focuses on maintaining conscious control to these muscle groups so you have the choice of moving freely from your center.
