-
Soma is derived from the Greek word meaning, “body.” We explore the body’s intelligence through movements focusing on the nervous system, evolutionary pathways, and total body coherence. We seek greater balance in the autonomic nervous system to help the body differentiate between active engagement & passive relaxation.
-
Our bodies are meant to move from one place to another — or locomote, under their own strength and power. These movements will inspire natural efficiency with grace & deep competence. Practical movements for everyday humans.
-
Organic encompasses a wide range of movements, postures, and shapes (both dynamic and static) that are an extension of our primal nature. We’ll find the flow through movement inquiries that are spontaneous, expressive, and playful.
Longevity Movements
These movements are meant to improve mobility, coordination, and physical resilience. There are four sections. Enjoy.
S.L.O. Motion
Natural | Evolutionary | Regenerative | Joyful | Curative
S.L.O. Motion is a synthesis of primordial movements that activate the body’s ability to perform real life movements for longevity and regeneration. Our goal is to access & illuminate the core competencies of human motion. These techniques are designed to liven the body’s natural intelligence, optimize movement efficiency, increase mobility, improve coordination and unlock healing potential.
Julian has taught movement & wellness at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, Kripalu in Lenox, MA, Nosara Yoga Institute in Nosara Costa Rica, Sivananda Ashram in Paradise Island, Bahamas, and Blue Spirit in Costa Rica. He currently teaches internationally specializing in S.L.O. Motion courses and workshops.
