Who This Is For

Women 50+ who want to:

  • Improve balance and reduce the risk of falls
  • Build strength without aggravating joints
  • Protect bone health and improve posture
  • Feel confident and stable in everyday movement

What is Somatic Strength?

Somatic strength means learning to tune in to the signals your body is sending.

Instead of pushing through a generic workout, you use awareness of sensations, connection to your foundation, variations in effort and sensing resistance as a guide to how you move.

This helps you build strength in a way that is balanced, efficient and appropriate for your body.

It’s not a one-size-fits-all exercise routine.
It’s a smarter way to develop strength.

Hi I’m Sonja,

your guide to moving with strength and confidence as you age.

I’ve spent more than 25 years working with bodies, and I’ve seen the same problem again and again:
most exercise advice simply wasn’t designed for women over 50.

Many of the workouts people are told to follow lead to joint strain, frustration, or injury. And too often, women are left believing their bodies are fragile or that getting stronger isn’t possible anymore.

But that doesn’t have to be the story.

Through the Feldenkrais Method and my Smart Moves somatic strength training, I’ve helped hundreds of women rebuild balance, strength, and confidence in their bodies.

Together, we can move away from confusing fitness advice and toward a smarter, more sustainable way to build strength for life.

Common Questions I’ll Answer in This Webinar

Many women over 50 tell me they feel confused about which exercises are actually safe and effective. In this live session, I’ll answer questions like:

• Is walking enough exercise to maintain strength and bone health?

• Why do some workouts cause joint pain, even when they’re supposed to be “good for you”?

• What kind of strength training actually works best for women over 50?

• Which exercises are actually safe for your bones after menopause?

• How can you improve balance if you sometimes feel unsteady on your feet?

• What makes somatic strength training different from traditional fitness programs?

You’ll also have the opportunity to ask your own questions live.
