AXIS is a gentle somatic movement approach that uses small movements and low-intensity sensory input to observe changes in support, tension, coordination, and bodily perception.
Rather than following a predetermined sequence or correcting the body toward an ideal form, each session begins with the body’s current state. The next input is selected in response to what changes—and what does not.
What We Do in a Session
- Observe the body’s current state in standing or movement
- Introduce a small movement or low-intensity sensory input
- Observe changes in support, coordination, tension, breathing, and bodily perception
- Select the next input in response to what is observed
- Revisit standing or movement to observe whether the changes remain under different conditions
- Select an individualized practice for exploration between sessions
- Review the changes that occurred between sessions
What We Observe
- Posture, standing, and movement
- Distribution of support and weight
- Muscular tension and tension around the joints
- Breathing and bodily sensation
- Visual, vestibular, and somatosensory perception
- Responses to changes in movement, sensory input, or environment
- How these responses change, persist, or return over time
Between Sessions
Based on the responses observed during each session, we select a small, individualized practice for you to explore at home. It is adjusted as we learn how your body responds.
Practicing regularly—ideally each day when possible—gives us more opportunities to observe changes and build on them over time. At the next session, we review what changed, what remained, and what may have returned. If daily practice is difficult, we can adjust the practice together.
