About Thomas Hanna and the field of Somatics

Thomas Hanna, Ph.D. (1928-1990), was a philosopher who developed his own clinical approach to neuro-muscular re-edcuation after years of study with the work of other movement pioneers including F. Mathias Alexander (Alexander Technique) and Moshe Feldenkrais. Hanna became a Functional Integration (Feldenkrais) practitioner and later developed Hanna Somatic Education® or Hanna Somatics.

'Soma' is Greek for the 'Living Body' and 'Somatics' is an approach to the human body that emphasizes the interrelatedness of your body, mind and spirit.

Hanna’s emphasis on a ‘Somatic’ approach, of internalized, self-sensing perception of the living body as experienced from within, has been hugely influential in many fields.
