The next Simply Somatics is on Saturday 19 September 2026.
09:30- 12:00 at the HEART Centre in Headingley, Leeds, LS6 3HN.
This is for anyone who's ever wondered what their body is actually up to.
Three hours of gentle movement and honest curiosity. We'll dig into how stress, pleasure, connection and safety show up in the body — and what changes when you start paying attention. Evidence-informed throughout, jargon-free throughout, and absolutely no one will ask you to touch your toes (unless you want to).
Herbal teas, Yorkshire tea, and a biscie. Come as you are.
Tickets - £65
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.
