Hello and welcome

I’m Hunter Toran, a Registered ISMETA movement educator and therapist, a Level II Spacial Dynamics Practitioner and Practitioner of Biomechanics. With over 10 thousand clinical and teaching hours, and a lifetime of somatic exploration, I strive to shape unique programs to assist individuals in overcoming pain and expressing their best selves in their personal and professional lives. My passion lies in the interplay between movement and consciousness and in helping individuals to express their personal genius through flow and function. I live with my wife and three children in Seattle, Washington.

Who I Am What I Do

“There is something of tremendous beauty and power just beyond our pain, beyond our trauma, out of reach from our reactive consciousness. There is an aspect of ourselves forgotten, unknown to most, that can inform our experience through the language of human movement in relationship to eternal spaces.”
​—Hunter Toran

“After the first few hours working with Hunter I knew my body and the way I moved it would never be the same.  I went looking for a mechanic to fix the pain in my neck, which he did, only then to show me how to know my body well enough not to have it come back. Over the weeks I have felt therapeutic movement and embodiment exercises evolve into a kind of spiritual practice, spacial dynamics, which keeps my body and mind in rhythm and unity with my work and life.”

“I have had an incredible experience working with Hunter after shattering a bone at my left knee in a ski accident, a major orthopedic injury that required surgery and an expected recovery time of more than one year.

Hunter’s care has been an integral complement to my conventional physical therapy. Our sessions are educational, safe, and healing. He takes the time to hear my concerns and educates me about his approach with great clarity. He creates a safe environment for movement and supports me in the work I need to do to heal. The exercises and accompanying visualizations help me to more fully embody the injured leg and are integrated with the healthy functioning of my whole body. At home, when I do Hunter’s exercises first, I get better results from my conventional physical therapy exercises. Hunter has also found solutions when I’ve encountered problems with specific exercises. I trust Hunter’s grounded understanding of how the body functions in space, and I deeply appreciate the meditative and spiritual aspects of his work. Hunter is empathetic and sensitive to my injury and yet reminds me of the joy of fully inhabiting the physical realm, helping me to stay positive throughout my recovery. ”

“ [I] feel connected to my whole body again rather than just what hurts.”

“It was like a gesture of kindness that was inviting me to take my place in the world again, to step into life in a fuller way. Images like this kept floating up in my mind as I was resting yesterday. There is a great healing power in gestures of kindness.”

“The study of Spacial Dynamics with Hunter has increased my athleticism and invited more play into my life. Because I am now moving in harmony with my body and space, it is easier for me to incorporate techniques and try new things. I have also grown in my ability to accept and receive warmth. This has improved all of my relationships: family, friends, work, etc. It has even opened me up to explore deep connections and a healthy love life with an incredible guy. Thank you so much for igniting so much positive change in me and I look forward to continuing to move with you.”

“​​I thoroughly enjoy working with Hunter. He has the amazing quality of being able to consistently correct my movements and keep my practice moving forward while remaining the perfect gentleman, so I don’t get frustrated – just keep learning!  In my sessions with him my experience and understanding of Spacial Dynamics grew considerably.  And while I get a lot from the group sessions, it is in the one-on-one sessions that I felt my practice really took off!  I highly recommend him.”
