Please note: our instructors will be looking out for you for the first 5 minutes of class, and then we cannot guarantee they will see you in the waiting room after that. We appreciate your timeliness!!

Gentle Somatics yoga is designed to repattern muscles and fascia that have become tight and restricted from habitual postures and movement. Somatics is the mind/body as perceived from within. In this yoga class you will be guided into becoming acutely aware of your body in a way you may have never experienced otherwise. Using visualization, intention and creative exploration we move through subtle, gentle movements that have a therapeutic effect on the body as a whole. By releasing old patterns of holding stress and pain within our bodies we create space for more peace within ourselves.

Gentle Somatic Yoga® incorporates slow, mindful movements that amplify bodily awareness. This allows the practitioner to self-correct and permanently release persistent stress-based patterns from within their body (Soma).

The restorative sequences, called Somatic Movement Flows®, are ideal for unwinding stiffness, pain and postural imbalances, and will dramatically increase flexibility through brain-to-muscle re-education. From this place of new-found freedom, we naturally return to our generative state of peace and wellbeing.

Gentle Somatic Yoga®is an innovative blend of Hatha Yoga, Hanna Somatic Education, Core Energetics, Pranayama (breathing techniques), and visualizations & meditations.

All abilities and ages are welcome.

Benefits include improving mobility and strength, reducing or eliminating chronic pain conditions.

This class is a very nice complement to any more dynamic yoga or fitness practice.
