James Knight, Founder of Gentle Somatic Yoga, and Dr. Keith Motes, Founder of
Shaking Medicine. Shaking Medicine is a somatic therapy for embodying your instinctive therapeutic tremor mechanism. 

James and Keith will guide you through two Somatic Movement classes that will help you unwind from subconscious reflexes of holding trauma, pain, and stiffness from head-to-toe.

After each class there is a review session (Learning Laboratory), where you can ask questions about the method, how to tailor the movements for your body, and integrate what you've learned into your daily practices.

 All are welcome!

About James

On a personal level, he enjoys spending quality time with loved ones while cultivating and energizing conscious communities.

WHAT IS SHAKING MEDICINE?

Shaking Medicine is a somatic therapy for embodying your instinctive therapeutic tremor mechanism. This natural mechanism is powerful because it evolved as part of your nervous system over millions of years for optimizing your health and well-being. We aim to help you remember it!

It is a potent and easy way to alleviate aches, pains, tensions, inflammation, stress, anxiety, and trauma as well as cultivate more energy, flow states, clarity, resilience, creativity, balance, faster recovery rates, pleasure, and peace in your life. It achieves all of this by unravelling the root causes of many diseases. It is hygiene for your physical, energetic, mental and emotional health.

In Shaking Medicine you'll be gracefully guided into relaxing, letting go of control, and surrendering so that your intuition can tremor you for healing from the inside out. All of life is enhanced when you're not holding onto what doesn't serve you so that you can do the things you love to do in life.
