Roberta Gallagher

Roberta has been practicing and teaching various forms of yoga and mindfulness for over 20 years. Her foundational studies include Hatha, Iyengar, and Restorative Yoga Therapy, with additional training in Feldenkrais and Somatics. She is certified in MBSR, Luminous Awake Awareness Meditation, and the quantum physics of system coregulation for healing. In 2010, while living in San Diego, Roberta was introduced to Gentle Somatic Yoga® with James Knight. She continues to collaborate with James at retreats and teacher trainings. Gentle Somatic Yoga has become a central focus of her work, as its unique approach to movement is unparalleled in its ability to restore full range of motion. Somatics is a form of neuromuscular education that uses the technique of pandiculation to retrain muscle memory and relieve pain. Inspired to help others connect deeply with their body’s inner wisdom — both in recovery and self-discovery — Roberta integrates art, movement, energy work, and mindfulness in her private and group workshops and retreats. She creates a sacred space where students feel safe to explore, express themselves, and return to their true nature.
