Clinical Somatics

While Tai Chi truly can be a Somatic movement art, it can be an indirect way for practitioners to get the health benefits they are after. One of our graduates, a 40-year teacher of Tai Chi and Martial Arts, explained that with Somatics he can give his students in ten minutes what sometimes used to take ten years. The tools and methods applied duing Tai Chi do not have the same direct and intentional affect on the Nervous System and muscular system as do Somatic movements. Martial arts will be greatly improved through the practice of Somatics.
