Cultivating Resourcefulness and Ease in Movement

Hello, I’m Katrin Neue, an interdisciplinary movement educator registered with ISMETA. With over 20 years of professional experience in teaching Dance, Somatics and Pilates, I’m passionate about helping you achieve a more comfortable, aware, and confident way of moving.

Somatics is all about embodiment and melting away the layers of holding patterns that prevent you from moving forward. It’s a collaborative approach to self-care, offering clear movement suggestions that consider your whole being. My approach, rooted in the tradition of Thomas Hanna, is both secular and practical.

Somatics enhances your awareness of how you move, simplifying your movements for greater efficiency, pleasure, and ease by doing less.

Pilates is all about control and strength. My Pilates based teaching has a deep base in somatic approaches and good movement mechanics above aesthetically driven cues. I teach Pilates on the mat and reformer to anyone who wants to feel stronger and more supported in their bodies.

Let me assist you on your journey to better health!

Katrin Neue’s class has equipped me with a set of intelligent, effective strategies to I can rebalance, maintain, learn about and appreciate my body however it is. I feel like her attitude is about sensing the body; it’s tensions and softnesses, with skill and compassion and then working with intelligence and patience towards relieving suffering and nurturing peace, confidence and good communication between mind and body! I use Somatics to unwind after a) carrying heavy shopping, library books etc b) stressing over a computer, c) mucking out horses d) dancing e) running and anything else. It is part of my regular schedule of self maintenance for my mind and body and the relationship between these two vital aspects of myself. I will continue to get to Katrins classes whenever I can and to recommend her to my friends

I started Somatics in February with Katrin and am finding it a great way to exercise. It is especially suitable for those that want a more gentle type of class and yet get more flexible over time. Due to the current situation, classes are now held online via the Zoom app. It was very easy to install and it’s great to be able to continue “attending” classes from the comfort of my own home. Katrin is a wonderful teacher committed to her craft and very encouraging of those that attend her classes. Now that I’ve started I intend to continue attending over the coming years and would encourage others to give it a try.
