As an Association for Hanna Somatic Education®, Inc. (AHSE) member, either active or inactive, I understand that the following represents the scope of the practice of Hanna Somatic Education® (HSE). This scope of practice is based upon the theoretical and applied principles of Hanna Somatic Education® as they are taught under the auspices of the Novato Institute for Somatic Research & Training.
Hanna Somatic Educators provide verbal or hands-on somatic education services for individual clients or groups in order to improve the central integration of the execution of their sensory-motor activities. This may include but not necessarily be limited to endeavoring to:
- Apply the HSE specific clinical processes of "means whereby", "kinetic mirroring", and "pandiculation" during their sessions and classes.
- Educate and train individuals or groups in self-performed motor skill improvement processes, i.e., Somatic Exercises and Explorations.
- Disseminate educational materials to the public, including, but not limited to HSE Somatic Exercises and related somatic arts, sciences, philosophy and principles through lectures, seminars, training programs if specifically licensed as a trainer by the Novato Institute, conferences, conventions, publications, audio or video tapes, or otherwise.
- Develop, encourage, and or provide public benefit classes, and instruction in somatic movement, relaxation, reeducation forms and in somatic principles.
- Generally promote and develop somatic movement arts, science, philosophy and principles.
