Testimonials


I was impressed with my increased strength and flexibility and the specific exercises that dealt with my neck and back tension. This is the first program I've come across that I can realistically imagine continuing over a lifetime" ~ L. Tachuk, teacher
 
A man could easily believe that it's enough for his muscles to be strong, but BioSomatics has made me very aware that they can either block or release the body's natural freedom. It makes you realize that the physical and psychological stresses of living have numbed and stiffened various parts of the body, inhibiting free, comfortable movement. Now, when I walk or perform almost any physical activity, and even when I am at rest, I feel more relaxed, and when tension does occur, I can notice it and let it go, as I never could before." ~ C. Sise, writer
 
I appreciate the therapeutic effects that are obtained with this unique work in developing postural awareness and alignment. A true body awakening at any age or level of fitness." ~ C. Terry, physiotherapist
 
Besides flexibility and relaxation, BioSomatics has given me more breath support, more energy, and shown me how to achieve ultimate "control." I feel like a more vibrant being and a freer, stronger and more creative instrument." ~ D. Williams, classical singer
 
I have taken my body apart, section by section, and you have done an excellent job of showing me how it works and how to start rebuilding. Paramount work!" ~ L. Nanney, garden designer
 
My whole body feels better, my posture has improved, and I feel at least an inch taller. I find the hour-and-a-half class very relaxing and rewarding, both mentally and physically." ~ E. Cobban, writer
