Body-Brain Re-Train
A Hanna Somatic Movement Program To help you move freely & live fully
What Is Body-Brain Re-Train?
More than movement—it's retraining how your body and brain work together
It’s more than yoga. More than stretching. More than traditional exercise routines.
This is neuromuscular re-education that releases long-held pain and tension—even chronic pain—by retraining muscle memory and restoring your body’s natural movement patterns. Based on the work of Thomas Hanna, this method uses gentle, intelligent movement to rewire your nervous system and break free of deeply ingrained muscular habits that cause discomfort and limit performance.
Enhance your yoga or workout routine. Improve your posture. Move with ease again.
How Does It Work?
Understanding the patterns behind pain—and how to change them
Our nervous and muscular systems form a brilliant communication network that began developing when we first lifted our heads as infants and took our first steps. This body-brain learning loop, responsible for how we move, continues to shape us throughout life. When the nervous system sends a signal, muscles contract or release. No signal, no movement. It's an automatic training system that allows us to move efficiently—and unconsciously.
Over time, we develop habits in how we stand, walk, sit, and even sleep. These repeated actions become “muscle memory,” enabling us to function without having to think about every movement. Sitting hunched over a desk, gripping a steering wheel, standing for long hours, holding playing cards, or swinging a golf club—these are all examples of learned muscular patterns.
Muscle memory helps us navigate daily life and perform tasks with ease. But when certain muscles stay contracted for too long, these helpful patterns can become harmful. Chronic tension, joint pain, recurring injuries, and even headaches often result from muscles that have forgotten how to release. The more a movement or posture is repeated, the more deeply it becomes ingrained—eventually becoming your “normal state of being,” whether it’s functional or not.
This is why stretching often falls short. While it may provide temporary relief, it doesn’t change the underlying pattern. If your nervous system still believes that tightness is normal, your muscles will return to that state again and again.
To truly change these deeply learned patterns, you must retrain the nervous system.
Body-Brain Re-Train uses small, gentle, and precise movements to re-educate your neuromuscular system. These movements help reset the brain’s connection with the muscles, teaching the body how to release tension and move with natural ease again—creating lasting change, not just short-term relief.
Move Smarter, Feel Better
Gentle movements, real relief—feel the difference in everyday life
Body-Brain Re-Train offers small, gentle movement techniques that re-engage the nerves in your muscles and re-educate the nervous system through an active learning process. These subtle exercises help the body release chronic muscle tension and return to more natural, neutral, and efficient ways of moving—without pain or strain.
You begin to sit, stand, walk, and even rest in ways that reduce tension instead of reinforcing it. It’s a no-pain, just-gain process that’s both interesting and enjoyable—completely different from traditional stretching or workout routines.
Each time you practice, you’re invited to be curious about your internal body-brain connection. With gentle attention, you start to notice how small movements can create big changes—bringing real relief, improving function, and transforming how you feel in daily life.
Whether you’re active in sports, enjoy time outdoors, or simply want to move more comfortably each day, this method helps you stay mobile, balanced, and connected to what you love—with less strain and more ease. You may find your favorite activities feel easier, your posture more upright, and your step a little lighter. With less tension and more freedom, your day might just feel a little brighter too.
