A Four Week Somatic Energy Alignment Exploration
November - December 2026
Unclench: From Jaw to Pelvis
Four weeks on the hidden coordination between the jaw, breath and pelvic floor.
The jaw, breath, voice, pelvis and protective holding, explored as one living system.
All sessions will be recorded and available for one year.
Your JAW participates in breathing, swallowing, speaking, orientation, posture, pressure regulation and emotional expression.
Its patterns may involve the tongue, throat, neck, rib cage, diaphragm and pelvic floor, alongside stress, sleep, pain sensitivity, habitual clenching and states of heightened alertness.
This four session experiential workshop through a Somatic Energy Alignment framework offers a progressive exploration of the jaw as part of a larger living system.
Does your body keep returning to the same tension?
You may notice yourself:
-
Clenching your teeth while concentrating, working or sleeping
-
Teeth grinding that is affecting your dental alignment and bite.
-
Waking up with tension around the jaw, temples or face
-
Feeling tension around the throat, neck or base of the skull
-
Swallowing Problems
-
Experiencing frequent headaches or facial fatigue
-
Bracing before speaking, setting a boundary or expressing a need
-
Feeling that the jaw relaxes temporarily and then tightens again
-
Pelvic Floow Tightness
Jaw tension is rarely explained by one muscle, one emotion or one event.
This workshop will help you investigate your individual patterns without reducing them to a single story.
The weekly structure lets you explore one layer at a time.
SESSION No. 1
Mapping the Jaw and Establishing Safety
Tuesday, November 24 - 7:00 pm CET
We begin by creating a clear and safe map of the jaw.
You will explore the temporomandibular joint, masseter, temporalis, tongue and surrounding facial structures in accessible language. We will look at how chewing, clenching, swallowing, attention and stress can influence muscular recruitment.
-
Understand the basic structure and movement of the TMJ
-
Differentiate joint sensations from muscular fatigue and generalized tension
-
Map the masseter, temples, face, tongue and resting jaw position, through the S.E.A touch protocol
-
Explore gentle external self touch and sublte energy releases.
-
Notice habitual contact between the teeth, lips and tongue
-
Create a baseline for tension, pain, breathing, sleep, headaches and clenching
SESSION No. 2
Jaw, Neck, Breath and Vigilance
Tuesday, December 1 - 7:00 pm CET
We will explore the sternocleidomastoid, suboccipitals, tongue, throat, hyoid region, rib cage and respiratory diaphragm. You will investigate how breathing changes with support, movement, concentration and alertness.
-
Explore relationships among the eyes, head, neck and jaw and fascial expressions
-
Understand the role of the SCM and suboccipital muscles
-
Map the tongue, hyoid region, swallowing and throat without deep neck pressure
-
Observe how breathing and jaw effort may change during alertness or concentration
-
Experiment with rib movement and ordinary breathing
SESSION No. 3
Expression, Protective Parts and the Jaw
Tuesday, December 8 - 7:00 pm CET
This session uses an IFS informed educational approach to explore protective holding. You will be invited to relate to tension as a strategy that may be trying to help you manage something in the present.
-
Explore voice, swallowing and expression as coordinated body functions
-
Notice whether the jaw works harder when trying to sound convincing or emotionally correct
-
Use parts language to approach bracing with less shame
-
Explore preferences and boundaries at low intensity
-
Work with words, investigate anger as information about limits, needs or action
SESSION No. 4
Jaw & Pelvis - Whole Body Integration
Tuesday, December 15t - 7:00 pm CET
This session explores the connection between the jaw and pelvic region, inviting participants to open the centers of creativity and expression.
-
Awaken the jaw and pelvis as energetic gateways of creation and expression
-
Explore subtle pelvic movements to reconnect with your sensuality, intuition and creative life force
-
Weave breath, sound and movement together, allowing held energy to soften and expression to move freely through the body
-
Open the inner channel between voice and creation, giving form to what has remained unspoken
-
Notice whether the jaw works harder when trying to sound convincing or emotionally correct
BONUS
To close the journey
Full Somatic Alignment and Energy Transmission with Santi
The workshop concludes with an extended Somatic Alignment energy transmission.
Over the previous weeks, participants will have developed greater awareness of the sensory, respiratory, movement and expressive pathways involved in their individual holding patterns. The transmission offers space to receive, integrate and observe what emerges without demanding a particular physical or emotional result.
This will take place during the final 45 minutes of our last session, on the 15th of December!
