Thomas Hanna's "Daily Cat Stretch"
Thomas Hanna’s Daily Cat Somatic Exercises
How to Do Somatic Movements:
1. Move slowly and comfortably - you are especially working with the part of your brain called the motor cortex. It needs time to process more efficient movement patterns.
2. Pay attention to the sensations from your movement - this will give your brain clearer feedback to learn to move more efficiently.
3. Stay within your comfort zone. If you have pain, move slower, make smaller movements, or even make the movement only in your imagination.
4. Follow medical directives you've been given for joint replacements, pacemakers, or any other conditions you have.
Disclaimer: This class is for educational purposes only. Please do all somatic movements comfortably, slowly, and without pain or force. Please consult appropriate medical or health care providers if you have any concerns about whether the movements are suitable for you, especially if you are dealing with an illness or injury, are pregnant, or have other health, balance or mobility issues.

Hi Lisa, thanks for the video. If I follow this everyday can I fix my green light reflex posture
Hi Lisa this should be a five minute process but I don’t have it memorized yet. Any chance you can do a video of just the 5 minute process? This is a great video but a bit long for my daily use. Thanks!
