Strozzi Institute for Somatics

What if your body were your greatest resource for change? 🌿

Often, we feel like the life we’ve always dreamed of is a distant goal. But the truth is, the key to that future lies in what we choose and do from moment to moment. We are always practicing something—so why not practice in alignment with your heart's longings?

You're invited to join B Stepp and our global community for this month’s Community Dojo: We Are What We Practice.

When: Tuesday, May 12th @ 8:00 AM PT
Where: Online via Zoom

Come as you are, and let’s practice shaping ourselves toward a life-affirming future together.

"We can’t think our way into a better future..."
In the midst of life’s pressures, it’s easy to lose our center. But there is wisdom in your body that can guide you back to your path.

Join Maggie Williams and the Strozzi Somatics community this Tuesday, April 14 at 8:00 AM PT for our monthly Community Dojo.

Together, we’ll explore the Arc of Transformation—a practice of remaining grounded and steady so that our path forward aligns with our deepest values.

Whether you are a long-time practitioner or new to somatics, there is a place for you in this circle. Let’s listen to the wisdom our bodies hold and practice moving with purpose, together.

Have you been here? You have a vision for your life, but it feels stuck in your head. To truly transform, that vision needs to move into the tissue.

This Tuesday at 8:00 AM PT, Strozzi Faculty Teacher Stephanie Meux leads us in: The Generative Body: Shaping a Future Through Somatic Declaration.

This is a space to explore how we can source our life's declarations from the wisdom of our own bodies. Whether you're a coach supporting others or you're currently shaping your own path, this session offers a grounded, creative way to move forward.

When: Tuesday, March 10 at 8:00 AM PT

We are living in impossible circumstances that seem to become more impossible every day.

It’s easy to get pulled into a cycle of scarcity, but we can choose a different path. We can find moments of satisfaction and aliveness that bring us closer to life and to each other.

Join us for an hour of practice this Tuesday. Our Community Dojo is a space to explore how we become more able to be satisfied and grounded, even in deeply challenging times. We’ll explore these questions together and practice shaping our lives toward more choice and possibility for all.

When: Tuesday, Feb 10 @ 8:00 AM PT Where: Zoom

We don't have to wait for the world to change to start shaping ourselves toward abundance. We’d love to have you with us.

Somatic practice invites us to return — again and again — to what is alive in our body, to what’s opening, and to what’s becoming possible.

This Tuesday, October 14 at 8am PT, join Richard Strozzi-Heckler, Founder of Strozzi Somatics, for our monthly Community Dojo, where we’ll explore the theme of Somatic Opening.

“As we move through the arc of somatic transformation, we will inevitably find ourselves in a Somatic Opening — an unbounded space in which lies the promise of a new way of being and acting.”

Each Dojo is a place to practice — to ground in our bodies, connect with others, and deepen the muscle of awareness that allows transformation to take form in our daily lives.

✨ Free and open to all.
