Moving from the inside out: An introduction to Somatic Movement.🐌
What is Somatic Movement?
Unlike traditional exercise that focuses on external performance, somatic movement focuses on your internal experience. Through slow, conscious, and gentle movements, we retrain the nervous system, release deeply held physical tension, and cultivate deep body awareness.🐚
The Benefits:
🌿 Regulates the Nervous System: Shifts your body out of fight-or-flight and into a state of calm and recovery.🧠
🌿 Relieves Chronic Pain & Tension: Addresses the root patterns of restriction rather than just masking the symptoms.🕊️
🌿 Improves Mobility & Coordination: Rewires neuromuscular pathways for effortless, fluid movement.💃🏽🕺🏽
🌿 Deepens the Mind-Body Connection: Helps you listen to, trust, and understand your body’s unique language.☀️
About the Director:
Hi, I’m Nina Madsen Puckett (RSMT/E, CMA, LMT). As a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist & Educator and Certified Movement Analyst, my work is rooted in Laban Movement Analysis and Bartenieff Fundamentals. I founded Madsen Movement in 2023 to guide movers to step into mindful, therapeutic embodiment. For full bio, feel free to check out my website (link in bio).😊
Today, Madsen Movement is proud to be a program of Oklahoma Performing Arts (OPA), offering a supportive space to help you come home to your body.🐌
Ready to experience it? Check out our class schedule on my website or send a DM to learn more about upcoming somatic movement sessions at OPA in Broken Arrow.

This class integrates Laban Movement Analysis, Bartenieff Fundamentals, and somatic practices to deepen your mind-body connection.

Big things are moving in the Oklahoma arts community! 🌪️✨
We are beyond thrilled to announce a beautiful evolution for two local staples in dance and education. Beginning in 2026, Madsen Movement will officially become a program of Oklahoma Performing Arts (OPA)! 🎭🩰
What you should know:
🐌🐚Madsen Movement has been a sanctuary for somatic movement and artistic expression. With a focus on the mind-body connection through Laban/Bartenieff techniques, it’s helped movers of all levels find their authentic voice.
🎭🩰Oklahoma Performing Arts has been a pillar of excellence in the community since 1996, dedicated to teaching “character through performance” to the next generation of artists.
Why we’re excited:
By bringing Madsen Movement under the OPA umbrella, we are bridging the worlds of professional somatic wellness and classical arts education. This partnership ensures that the legacy of mindful, healthy, and expressive movement continues to grow within our community for years to come.
Stay tuned as we prepare for this transition! We can’t wait to show you what’s in store for 2026. 👣💫
