Think Somatics, Waynesville NC

Kristin is a consummate teacher of Somatics! I have been studying with her via Zoom for over 4 years and she has equipped me with tools to take care of my own injuries and physical well-being. Her instruction is crystal clear, with excellent imagery as well as verbal and visual cuing. Although I take her classes "live" on Zoom, she also has created a vast library of recordings so that her lessons can be accessed at any time. I ALWAYS feel better after Kristin's class, and she allows space for students to ask questions and give feedback after each session, if they wish. The variety of modalities that she incorporates - Hanna Somatics, Feldenkrais, PPR (Proactive Postural Restructuring), Pilates - allows each student to connect with what resonates with them personally. Her classes are always fun, different, and full of useful tips for moving through life with ease and awareness. I cannot rave enough about Kristin's classes.try for yourself and see!

I started classes with Kristin in somatic education, then I tried the hula hoop classes and now I'm doing the Friday morning outdoor exercise classes. My experience has been terrific! I've learned a lot about my nervous system, my movement system and now I'm getting in better shape. Kristin makes everything fun & engaging.
I highly recommend her skilled teaching & her enjoyable attitude.

Kristin is a great trainer - even in a class with several people she can still tune in and help you tweak the moves for maximum benefit. Her holistic approach body, mind, spirit resonates deeply with me, and it is an honor to work with her!

Somatics has given my body new life. It is a powerful, yet very gentle practice and Kristin Jackson is an amazingly wonderful teacher and guide. She really understands how bodies work and how to help free them from restrictions. I've done pretty much every kind of body practice in my long life (I'm an active 85 year old), and working with Kristin has been the most effective one, and so much fun to boot. I can't recommend Think Somatics enough! It totally rocks.

The “take the gym outside” exercise class in Waynesville is amazing! This class is for any age and for any skill level. It is truly exhilarating to exercise outside in the fresh air! After my first class I felt like I got a great workout in a fun environment with an experienced instructor. Kristen cared about me as an individual and my physical abilities. I look forward to continuing these classes and building strength.

I have been taking private on-line lessons with Kristin and have also signed up for the monthly subscription service. Honestly, the application of somatics is life-changing. I have had several injuries and these movements have helped restore my confidence and my ability to control my pain and functionality. Krisitin in smart, intuitive, responsive and flexible; she is a gifted teacher. This process involves commitment and she helps you stay on track. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Kristin’s Somatics class at the Waynesville Rec Center (She also does one at the Waynesville Yoga Center). I didn’t know anything about Somatics when I took my first class, and I am amazed with my results. I am now measuring an inch taller and have significantly improved the range of motion in my neck. Kristin is a thoughtful, caring educator who works with each of her students to understand their challenges and achieve their movement goals. Her private sessions provide great insight into how you can reduce your muscle motor amnesia and live a more comfortable life.
