SomaFlow™ Institute for Somatic Movement and Embodied Practice
SomaFlow™ is a somatic movement method that builds body awareness. SomaFlow™ Institute teaches it in person in Las Vegas. During each session, your instructor guides you through slow movement and uses attentive touch. As a result, you learn to notice where you hold tension and move with more ease. It suits beginners and anyone who feels stiff. Below, see what a session involves and how to book.
How SomaFlow™ Works
SomaFlow™ works as a simple three-step process. First, you notice a habit in how you sit, stand, or walk. Next, you explore it slowly with your instructor. Then you practice an easier way to do it. Over time, everyday tasks can start to feel lighter.
We keep workshops small, so instructors can give everyone personal attention. Along with beginners, movement professionals often join to deepen their own practice. You’re also welcome if you’re just curious about your body.
How We Teach SomaFlow™ in Las Vegas
(Three Hands-On Approaches)
Myofascial Awareness Practice
Fascia is the thin connective tissue that wraps around and links your muscles, bones, and organs. “Myofascial” simply means muscle and fascia together. In this practice, you use gentle touch to feel how one part of your body connects to another.
You start with your own body. There’s nothing to fix here. The aim is a clearer sense of your body that you can later bring into your work with others.
Active Movement-Based Awareness
In this practice, you learn by moving slowly and paying close attention. As you go, you start to notice your timing and balance. You also spot the places where you work harder than you need to.
Over time, you can use this awareness in everyday activities, such as walking or lifting objects.
Embodied Contact Awareness
This practice is about touch between two people. You work with a partner and explore how changes in pressure, speed, and attention shape what each of you feels.
You also learn what your touch feels like from the other person’s side. That’s hard to pick up from a book or a video.
How the SomaFlow™ Facilitation Path Works
SomaFlow™ is about noticing, not fixing. You learn to feel how you move, how you stand, and where you hold tension. Once you can sense this in your own body, you learn how to help others notice it in theirs.

- Work with greater efficiency through refined awareness

Glenn Hall and Shoshi Hall lead SomaFlow™ and teach every workshop themselves. Shoshi has more than 40 years of experience in movement and dance, and Glenn has spent decades studying movement, body awareness, and Qigong. You learn directly from them in every session.
What You’ll Work On in Every SomaFlow™ Session
Each session builds four skills that work together. They are body awareness, ease of movement, working without force, and a whole-body view.
Body Awareness
You learn to pay close attention to how you stand, move, and hold tension. Over time, you start to spot your own movement habits. Then you can make better choices all through your day.
Ease of Movement
When you slow down, you notice how speed, timing, and balance shape the way you move. Small changes can help you move with less effort. They can also help you feel more at ease.
Working Without Force
Here, you learn to work with a light touch. You use less force and drop the pressure you don’t need. This helps massage therapists, bodyworkers, and dancers who use their hands and bodies all day.
A Whole-Body View
SomaFlow™ draws on several movement and body-based practices, such as Qigong. You learn how all the parts of your body work as one.
Skills You’ll Build With SomaFlow™
SomaFlow is a movement education method. It is not medical treatment, therapy, or a professional credential. SomaFlow is for people who learn best by doing, not just reading. You first practice the skills below in your own body, then learn how to share them with others.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
- Keep a simple daily practice you can do at home or fit into your routine
- Catch extra effort as it happens, in how you stand, balance, and move
- Observe how others move and spot where they hold tension
- Guide others clearly, using simple cues and gentle, respectful touch
Body Awareness From the Inside Out
Most of us don’t notice how we move until something feels off. SomaFlow helps you notice your patterns earlier, while they’re still small and easy to change.
Instead of judging your body from the outside, you learn to sense it from within. You feel when your breath gets shallow, when your shoulders creep up, or when your focus drifts while you work. Over time, these signals become easier to catch in the moment.
That’s the real shift. You stop reacting after the fact and start adjusting as you go.

What Participants Say
Dear Shoshi
Attending the SomaFlow™ Mastery Workshop was a transformative experience. Glenn’s expertise goes beyond expectations, and his compassionate teaching style ensures every participant receives the attention they need. My confidence soared, and I saw an immediate improvement in my practice. The workshop was flawlessly executed, and I am forever grateful for the teachings. Thank you, Glenn!
I’ve been a massage therapist for over 30 years, but learning SomaFlow™ took my skills to a new level. Traditional massage provides temporary relief, but SomaFlow™ restructures the fascia for long-lasting results. It also helps release deep emotional trauma stored in the body. Thanks to Glenn’s advanced training, I keep refining my techniques and improving my body mechanics. This work is life-changing!
Glenn is the acknowledged leader of continuing the lineage of the bodywork methodology developed by our teacher, Mark Lamm. He brings new insights to this remarkable system of healing and human transformation. I treasure the time I spend with him learning new ways to access and release the armored fascia tissue in my clients. The Advanced SomaFlow Workshop is a priceless experience for my growth as a SomaFlow practitioner.
