THIS WEDNESDAY August 19th
BODY TRUST - A 10-week somatic movement series for women
Wednesdays, 5:45-7:00 PM ~ Aug. 19-Oct. 21, 2026
Shoals Bodywork, Florence, AL
Led by Kristen Shores, owner of Shoals Somatics and Personal Training
"Body Trust was created for women who are ready to begin building a different relationship with their bodies, one based on curiosity instead of criticism, and listening instead of pushing. Every woman I've ever worked with knows full well how to push through- it's much much harder to slow down though. There are plenty of places that will teach you how to push your body, and there can definitely be a time for that, but this isn't one of them. Over ten weeks we'll use gentle, guided movement and breath work to explore how your nervous system and your body work together. You'll learn to notice your own patterns, experiment with movement in a way that feels supportive, and discover that your body often has a lot to say when we're willing to slow down enough to listen. Zero need here to be flexible, "in shape" or have experience with somatic movement. Sessions are intentionally small so I can meet each woman where she is. There's never an expectation that everyone moves the same way. You'll always have options, permission to modify, and space to move at your own pace. This group can be a good fit for women living with chronic stress, trauma, persistent pain, burnout, or anyone who has spent years feeling disconnected from their body or like they never fit into traditional fitness spaces."
