Workshop for Teens and Teachers—Susan Bauer, “Somatics with Teens” based on her book “The Embodied Teen: A Somatic Curriculum for Teaching Body-Mind Awareness”. Co-hosted by Hatchery Dance Company—Teens who love to dance.
Somatic practices help us learn about our bodies and build inner resources to tap into our body intelligence on a regular basis. Basic principles of somatics—like paying attention within and developing a less judgmental ‘inner witness’— can be a key to helping teens to thrive. But how do you make these practices accessible for teens, so they can develop a level of comfort with their own bodies? This workshop will engage teens and adults alike in fun and teen-friendly somatic movement activities that encourage compassion for oneself and others and establish a base for lifelong well-being. Come see how it’s done!
SUSAN BAUER, MFA, RSME/T is a dance and somatic educator and author of The Embodied Teen: A Somatic Curriculum for Teaching Body-Mind Awareness, Kinesthetic Intelligence, and Social and Emotional Skills (2018). She began her teaching career in the Pioneer Valley, and over the past 30 years has taught at middle school, high school and university levels in the U.S. and abroad. Susan is the founder of Embodiment in Education, offers workshops and teacher trainings internationally, and has a private practice in the San Francisco Bay Area as a Registered Somatic Movement Educator and Therapist.
