In the online Level One & Level Two Courses, you’ll learn how to use groundbreaking Clinical Somatics exercises to alleviate common musculoskeletal conditions, improve your posture and movement, and prevent recurring pain and injuries. By the end of the courses you’ll be self-sufficient, able to prevent and relieve your own pain by doing the exercises you feel that you need each day.
Clinical Somatics exercises are slow, gentle, and therapeutic. The exercises are appropriate for all ages and fitness levels. In the two-month online Level One Course, you’ll learn Thomas Hanna’s Clinical Somatics exercises one by one through video demonstrations, audio classes, and written explanations. The Level One & Two Courses are designed to give you a learning experience similar to working with a private instructor. You’ll spend several days focusing on each exercise before moving on to the next one. This focused time gives you the opportunity to become completely comfortable with the exercises and the effects that each one has on your body. The pace of the course is set, so you cannot skip ahead, but you can feel free to move more slowly through the course if you want to. You have lifetime access to the course.
Periodically, you will do audio Daily Practice Classes that combine the exercises into sequences. At the end of the course, you’ll receive a comprehensive audio Daily Practice Class that includes all of the exercises. You can download and save all of these audio classes forever. Throughout the course, you’ll receive a daily email letting you know that there is a new exercise to learn, a new class to use, or suggesting what to practice that day. Ultimately, you will have learned the exercises well enough that you are able to assess yourself and do what you need on a daily basis to prevent and relieve your pain and continue to improve your posture and movement.
Level One focuses on releasing muscle tension in the core of your body: your back, waist, abdomen, shoulders and hips. The core of your body is where your posture and movement patterns begin; it is your foundation. It is very important to address problems and imbalances in your core before moving outward to your extremities.
In the two-month online Level One Course, you’ll learn how to:
Use Thomas Hanna’s technique of pandiculation to release chronic muscle tension, relieve chronic pain, and retrain your muscle memory
Alleviate back pain, disc problems, joint pain, kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis, sciatica, iliopsoas syndrome, osteoarthritis, uneven leg length, and more
Learn exercises that release the lower back, hips, abdominals, obliques, shoulders, iliopsoas muscle, and more
Improve posture, mobility, balance, body awareness, and muscular control
Prevent recurring injuries and degeneration
Improve athletic performance and speed recovery time
Reduce stress and anxiety, and improve sleep and breathing
Develop a daily practice that addresses your individual needs

“I spent a year lost in the dysfunctional Kaiser system…a blur of doctors, MRIs, spinal epidurals, physical therapy, painkillers, ice, heat, and TENS, and nothing helped. It seemed as if I was headed for multi-level fusion surgery. I was absolutely at the end of my rope when someone posted a link to Clinical Somatics in a Facebook back pain support group. In 5 minutes I had enrolled and was doing the first day’s practice. That night I noticed I could reach things on the tables on both sides of my bed. Over the next few weeks all the pain, which I had been spending most of my life trying to manage, went away. I have gotten my life back, the life I thought was gone for good. Incredible bang for the buck for my $45!”
Kathie Friedley
“Well, of course, the first thing I love about Clinical Somatics is that it works! And the thing I like about both the Level One and Level Two classes of Clinical Somatics is Sarah! She is truly the perfect teacher–she knows her subject, imparts it with love, precision and patience and is always encouraging. Thank you, Sarah!”
Myrna Schlegel
“I just wanted to express my gratitude for giving me my life back! After suffering from sciatic pain caused by a chronically tight iliopsoas muscle and uneven hips for almost a year, I have finally gotten relief. After about two to three weeks into the program, I started noticing a reduction in pain, and it just continued to decrease from there. I’ve spent thousands of dollars seeing chiropractors and multiple physical therapists, none of which were able to figure out my problem, let alone help me recover. Your program is truly remarkable and the results I got from such simple movements still astonishes me.”
Brian Beaumont
“Somatics has brought back my quality of life. I have a spinal condition called spondylolisthesis with pars fracture (Grade II). What it entails for me: back pain, sciatica, protrusion of vertebrae, etc. I have been using the daily Somatics exercises consistently for the past two months. I can say without hesitation these exercises work. All the benefits as described here online and in my readings have been enlightening. Moreover, living without the pain and discomfort is life altering.“
Bill McKinney
“I have been practicing the Level One Course since August. I started this journey with major psoas issues (iliopsoas syndrome) and pain in my lower back, hips, and SI joints due to arthritis, bone spurs, and slipped disks in L3 and L4. After a few days the pain began to subside, my posture was better, and I could walk for longer distances. At this time I live relatively pain free. For three years I lived with high levels of pain and could not walk longer than a few blocks. This practice is amazing!”
Kevin Falcone
“Somatics has totally transformed my life. It started with back and anxiety problems. After my first class I didn’t want to move. I felt totally at ease and peace. I wasn’t anxious and my back pain was almost nonexistent. After a couple weeks of classes my back pain had subsided. After that I started doing the Level One and Level Two courses here and my body and mind has never felt better. I practice every single day. It has helped not only my back pain but has completely calmed my nervous system.”

The three-month online Level Two Course is structured in a very similar way to the Level One Course, but it moves a little faster, with twice as many exercises as the Level One Course. And while the Level One Course is focused on working with the core of the body, Level Two moves outward to the extremities. You’ll work with the neck, shoulders, face & jaw, hips, legs, and feet.
The Level Two Course also includes four proprioceptive exercises. The word proprioception means “how you sense your body in space.” As a result of adapting to habitual muscular patterns, many people have an altered, inaccurate sense of their posture. Their proprioception has gradually adapted over time, giving them the sense that they are standing straight up and down even though their spine is curved to some degree forward, backward, or to one side. The proprioceptive exercises help you to retrain your proprioception so that you can improve your posture and have an accurate sense of how you’re sitting and standing.
Throughout the course, you can download and save all of the audio Daily Practice Classes. You have lifetime access to the course.
The Level One Course and Level Two Course together contain all of the Clinical Somatics exercises that are included in all of the audio class downloads that I offer.
*Please note: Before enrolling in the Level Two Course, you must complete the Level One Course.
In the online Level Two Course, you’ll learn exercises that relieve:
Tension and pain in the hips, leg muscles, feet, neck, shoulders, face, and jaw
Forward head posture
Frozen shoulder
Leg spasms & cramps
Plantar fasciitis
Sciatica & piriformis syndrome
Scoliosis
Temporomandibular joint disorders
Thoracic outlet syndrome
Uneven leg length
One-time cost of Level Two Course: $75.
