the ancient traditions of yoga & meditation come together with the
modern wisdom of somatic movement research
Soma Yoga is a slow, gentle yoga practice informed by the wisdom
of somatic movement and Qigong. Slow moving meditations, sitting meditation and pranayama bring the opportunity for heightened awareness, equanimity, a deep unwinding
and endless discovery. This practice reawakens inherent agility and
strength, expanding possibilities for moving, and thus living. Chronic
tension patterns change as the body regains its innate ability to
self-correct to ease and efficiency in movement. Sessions always end
with a ten minute savasana (lying down) meditation and sitting meditation. Awareness of habitual thinking, moving and
attention patterns is possible; and with awareness sits liberation. gentle, all
