movement (classes)

Clinical Somatics Education sessions (1-1) are the most effective way to begin to restore muscle function, improve movement and eliminate pain.
meet sharon smith-carter, somatic educator & yoga teacher
Sharon has taught yoga and movement since 1999 in her community of Kawartha Lakes. She opened the first dedicated yoga studio in Lindsay Ontario, path to stillness yoga and focused on mindful practices that could help support positive shifts for health and wellbeing. Her interest has been rooted in the therapeutic aspects of movement as a way to settle the nervous system.
Since 2014 she has continued her Somatic studies with Martha Peterson and Essential Somatics. Clinical Somatic Education and somatic explorations have offered Sharon (and her clients) a powerful practice towards rewiring patterns of movement to reduce pain and increase ease. She believes somatics cultivates a more vivid sense of presence to move through daily life. Beyond her studio walls, she is on the team for Essential Somatics Movement Training, a facilitator for the Mind-Body Mental Health program at her local hospital and continues outreach for organizations with an interest in mental health.
