The tension in my jaw decreased significantly during the TMJ workshop. I was able to link the muscle tension in my jaw to muscle tension in other parts of my body as a response to stress. Now I am able to address the muscle tension before it takes root in my jaw.
What participants say
Sophia is an excellent teacher – informative and patient. I like how she provides clear explanations of movements and explores how the skeleton, musculature and nervous system all work together.
Your approach to the breath and body is skillful and organic. Your guidance and the Feldenkrais Method facilitated the deep release of my rib cage, and my breath — a letting go of an old, familiar holding pattern. The experience is still with me.
I like that you bring in emotional and thinking aspects, as well as body movement and sensing. I appreciate the focus on awareness, stillness, and space and yet there’s also room to interact, laugh and give and receive feedback.
