With an attitude of exploration and discovery, learn how you can reconnect with the abandoned parts of yourself, due to stress, and to become whole again
Learn how to discern the important difference between stretching - versus - pandiculation and also fitness - versus - wellness
Embody a series of Somatic Yoga Movement Flows® to erase chronic pain, stiffness, mis-aligned posture, and other effects of stress throughout the soma (body). These Flows can be easily learned and implemented into a daily home practice
Discover areas of Sensory Motor Amnesia (SMA). SMA happens within the body when muscles stay contracted regardless of your best efforts to release them. SMA can happen as a result of overuse of specific muscle groups, accidents, surgery's, and other traumatic experiences.
Through Gentle Somatic Yoga muscles can be repatterned out of Sensory Motor Amnesia. When this happens you can retake control over your muscles and return to ease and freedom of movement.
