Thomas Hanna

Thomas Hanna was a pioneer in developing Hanna somatic education, a model focused on enhancing mind-body awareness and movement. He believed that many physical issues stem from habitual patterns of tension and stress held in the muscles, which can interfere with natural movement and health. Through gentle, mindful exercises, Hanna's approach helps individuals release unnecessary muscular tension, improve posture, and restore functional coordination. His work emphasizes the importance of conscious awareness of movement to promote physical wellness, reduce pain, and enhance overall well-being.
