What should I wear ?

Clothes which are comfortable to move in , socks or barefoot. Warm layers are advisable for group classes at the venues as generally the exercises are not that vigorous and are mostly performed lying on the mat .

What should I bring to a class?

Mat , blanket or 1 inch block / wedge to use as a head support ,water bottle , an open mind :-)

Is the class appropriate for me ?

If you are unsure about joining in please do drop me a message on email or give me a call for a chat .

You need to be confident at getting up and down off the floor .

The exercises are aimed to be technically straightforward and if you have any concerns please ask for guidance. Tuesday evening classes included more strength requirements ( includes planks/ squats /lunges - again guidance can be given if you need to vary an exercise to make it appropriate. Thursday at Marcham has a different gentler mix accommodating an audience largely ( but not exclusively ) 60+ yrs.

If I adopt the Somatic approach or enrol in the SME classes do I have to stop doing my other sports?

NO : The somatic approach and especially the SME help the brain and muscles to communicate better . The method helps to restore and create function in the body , you can then benefit from this in your usual recreational and competitive sporting activities.
