Soma
Yoga:
A modern yoga with ancient roots.
Soma
Yoga brings the wisdom of somatic movement education to your yoga &
meditation practice.
This practice of mindful movement and meditation invites
awareness, quiet mind, a deep unwinding and endless discovery.
These slow, gentle movement
patterns liberate us from layers of involuntary, habitual holding patterns.
Chronic tension patterns change as the body regains its innate ability to
self-correct to ease and efficiency (neuromuscular re-patterning). Awareness of habitual moving,
thinking and attention patterns is possible; and with awareness sits
liberation.
Sessions always end with a ten minute
lying down meditation (savasana).
Private and Semi-Private Sessions by appointment. Tuesday
Gentle Soma Yoga Drop-in class is 6:00 -
7:10pm - open to all.
Somatic Movement
Somatic Movement re-awakens our inherent agility and expands our
possibilities for moving effortlessly in all we do.
Through
slow, gentle movement patterns, this sensory-motor learning process
encourages the release of muscles from involuntary, habitual contraction.
Chronic tension patterns change as the body regains its innate ability to
self-correct to ease and efficiency (neuromuscular re-patterning). This work stems from Somatic Unwinding, Hanna Somatics,
Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique, BrainDance patterns &
my twenty years as a somatic movement educator.
Discover the
amazing capacity of your nervous system for somatic releasing, resourcing
and re-education.
The 8 BrainDance somatic movement patterns
focus on the fundamental movement patterns which
originally wired our brain/central nervous system. These patterns are the
foundation for all movement and support optimal movement & cognitive
function in any activity you do. Bring agility, balance, strength and
ease to all of the movement activities in your life.
We can expand our possibilities for moving and thus living.
BrainDance is an excellent cognitive and physical warm up. The
re-patterning will improve any physical activity you enjoy.
A five minute BrainDance makes a wonderful computer break to support
your office life!
