somatic fascial unwinding and pandiculation is like self-massage

Somatic fascial unwinding is like self-massage therapy with movement. Most of us have experiences with unwinding through subtle or subconscious movement expressions like spontaneous pandiculation. These organic movements help keep our tissues healthy, our postural reflexes organized and help us "unwind" mental and emotional stressors through our physical form. It's like global body hygiene.

Star unwinding is hands down one of my favorite ways to practice self-massage. Star lends itself to easy rolls and rocking, organic pandiculation, to open/close patterns with seed and is a great shape for moving forces from one end of the myofascial kinetic chain to the other.  In other words, star unwinding is very efficient for creating phase-change in our gel-like fascia.

Somatic fascial unwinding leads to shifts in the quality of the fascial matrix (your whole bodymind feels looser and more fluid).  Partly this happens because of the intimate relationship of fascia and the autonomic nervous system. Effects of unwinding include feeling greater tranquility and ease and less burden and strain.  These properties are felt in the body, mind and spirit.

Somatic Groundwork is an experiential and creative movement practice that is fascia-oriented + trauma-informed. Our autonomic regulatory systems are influenced through movement inquiry and research and relational practices with the elements of gravity, ground and space. Somatic Groundwork offers gentle and nourishing movement techniques to help bodies move and feel better. Somatic Groundwork believes in challenging linear, binary, rigid and oppressive thinking and behavior and is a commitment to a movement "movement".
