“I very much enjoy the classes. Alana has a very gentle and calming spirit. She is very thorough in teaching and takes time to explain if needed.” Rosalie
“I love your class, not only are you completely suited to this but, you draw a class of people that are also suited to this. I not only go to your class because my back feels better, but, the atmosphere is so freeing.
I feel that everyone who attends have an amazing spirit. I have Never, Ever felt this anywhere else.” Donna
I am curious. Have you ever driven somewhere and wondered how you got there? You’ve travelled the route so frequently that it has made a groove in your brain. You sit behind the wheel of your car and it’s like being on autopilot. You arrive at your destination and try to think back to specific parts of the drive and it doesn’t come back easily.
Then, one day there is a detour in the route. Something has caused the original route to change and you need to learn and adapt to the detour for a period of time. This detour isn’t as efficient but it gets you where you need to go.
When the detour is finished you may still take the same route that you have adapted to. You now need to relearn the original, more efficient route.
This is what Sensory Motor Amnesia is like. The brain has lost it’s ability to sense and move the muscles to voluntarily control them.
We start out with freedom in our movements, however, we may experience an injury, a trauma, a surgery or do a specific movement over and over again. This is our soma’s detour. Our brain and muscles learn a maladaptive movement pattern just like the detour in the route. This allows us to do our daily tasks accommodating this stressor to our soma.
