Abstract
A Study about the Teacher-Student Relationship in a Somatic Movement Program ×

This study explores the teacher-student relationship in a somatic movement program through a self-study approach, based on the teaching activity for a class consists of 9 females of 65–80 age groups. Through the somatic classes, in general, people experience their own movements. In this study we learned that the teaching is far more effective if the teacher-student relationship is horizontal and consistent body contact exists. Teacher-student relationship was getting deepen into love and compassion through the body contact such as short time massage in the movement session and hugs as the greeting. It provided calm and happy moments to the participants’ minds and bodies; moreover, the touch as a primal and instinctive act made them feel better sensitively and kinetically. Furthermore, the students permitted to access into their soma, which obviously improve the learning process of somatic discipline and they had the modulations of somatic experience in the first-person and second-person experience.
