Simply Somatics is Co-Faciliated with Amy Manancourt

Amy is a dancer and yoga teacher with twenty years' experience working with the body. Her focus is the nervous system and somatic practice — making movement genuinely available to every body, rather than asking bodies to fit the movement. She works often with people for whom movement isn't straightforward, and her aim is simple: that you leave feeling more at home in your body than when you arrived.
