Successful Aging
"With "maturing" comes a recognition that there is some deterioration of the spine and loss of flexibility. Ryan appeared at a time when my yoga practice felt stale and I felt the power and benefit of his work immediately!
Ryan's sessions are gentle and understated but at the same time very rich. No prior experience is necessary to benefit from his teaching/guidance. I enjoy group classes as well as private sessions. The exploration of mind-body connection is so very rewarding. How cool to know that I can be exploring this work and reaping rewards for the rest of my years on the planet.
The sessions have motivated me to maintain a home practice of daily movements. It's a great way to check in and be centered in the present. The work travels well and is useful on planes, trains and when driving. The sessions have been particularly helpful in addressing joints that have suffered from repetitive use in racquet sports.
The sessions always offer a feeling of reset and calm. The work is at the same time subtle and powerful. I'm very pleased that a gift certificate of an intro class has brought my spouse to exploring Somatics!
I carry some of Ryan's business cards in my backpack. When I see friends who appear to be suffering and stuck in habitual shapes I try and explain the benefit of Ryan's work and share a card. The work is definitely experiential and needs to be tried and tested by and for ones self."
