Extended Practice

The Extended Practice offers additional topics offered by many different somatic practitioners and/or researchers, including the project team. These audio guides will take you further into specific aspects of somatic awareness and exploration. (Please note that correct author names appear when you click on a specific Practice, as for now we cannot change the name of the admin person who uploaded a file, which has mostly been done by Ben and Eline. Apologies for any confusion!)
