Science tells us the world is connected, yet to understand the whole we must study the parts. Somatic movement therapy integrates education, touch, talk, and movement. These synergistically work to inform our choices on how we create and experience our world; our wholeness as the total sum of all our parts.

How do the sensations of our bodies affect our emotions? How do our thoughts and beliefs affect our bodies? How does moving better create more ease in life? Is flexibility a state of body, mind, or both? Through practicing inquiries like these we begin to tap the wisdom of the body, connect wholly to who we are, in order to embody optimal health and well-being.

Melinda Teutschel created The Smart Body to integrate somatic technologies into the preexisting movement modalities of dance, Pilates, yoga, and fitness. The goal of The Smart Body is to teach you how to connect with your body’s wisdom, so that you become the expert on the how what, when, and why of your movement and exercise life.
