Somatic Movement Institute 5 Pillars Somatics “Answers to questions on health and wellbeing often lay in the body itself. Somatic Movement’s body oriented experiential approach, helps us learn how to acknowledge and understand the body’s signals. By allowing these signals to have their place and function, we increase our ability to translate them into health, wellbeing and effective action.” Jacques van Eijden About Somatic Movement Somatic Movement is used worldwide as a body oriented and experiential method in counselling, coaching and caring of people.

To rest, recuperate and/or heal in an ongoing and balanced way. PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES Internal Balance covers the principle of Homeo-dynamics, a dynamic form of homeostasis.
