Hanna Somatic Yoga is not a different style of yoga but rather a movement therapy, a way of re-educating the way our brain senses and moves the muscles. Based in the work of Thomas Hanna, An original philosopher/teacher, Hanna developed a theory of somatology and of the field he named Somatics.
​
Hanna Somatics is a rapidly effective form of neuromuscular (mind-body training) movement re-education that goes directly to the root cause of most chronic muscular pain: the brain and the way in which it senses and organizes the muscles and movement.
