Somatic Exercises for Beginners: 60 Gentle Exercises and a Four-Week Plan for Slow, Attentive Movement at Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798188075842)

Move slowly. Notice what you feel. That is the whole method.

Most movement books tell you to reach a shape and hold it. This one asks something gentler: move slowly
enough to feel what is happening while you move - and stop chasing the pose. There is no lineage here,
no system, and nothing you have to believe. Just sixty small, careful movements you can do at home, on the
floor, in a chair, or standing at the kitchen counter.

Every exercise is laid out one to a page with a clear illustration, a plain-language cue for what to feel, and
an honest note on what it will not do. A four-week plan turns the sixty movements into an unhurried daily
habit of about ten minutes - with log pages so you can see the weeks add up.

Inside the book:
- 60 gentle exercises across five settings: lying down, seated, standing, neck & shoulders, hips & lower
back
- A four-week plan that builds a calm ten-minute-a-day habit, with printable log pages
- Clear line illustrations for every single movement - no guessing what the position looks like
- Short routines for a busy morning, a stiff desk day, and winding down before sleep
- Written in plain English with no jargon, no pressure, and no exaggerated promises

Made for complete beginners, people easing back into movement, and anyone who wants a quiet, doable
practice rather than a workout. If you have found stretching intimidating or "mind-body" books too
mystical, this is the plain, honest one.
