We are very excited to welcome you to Somatic Explorations in Aikido! This seminar will explore how our nervous systems and body histories affect our individual and collective experience of Aikido training. This unique approach is derived primarily from the teachings of Richard Strozzi sensei and somatic coaching methodology. Practitioners will explore contact and connection in a depthful and precise manner, with an emphasis on pattern, rhythm, emotional awareness, feeling & connection, embodied awareness, and practicing with a trauma informed lens. This seminar is open to all aikidoka from any style or lineage, from first time students to beginners to the most experienced.
