Soma Yoga

the ancient traditions of yoga and meditation
 come together with the modern wisdom of somatic movement education

Soma Yoga is a very gentle somatic movement based practice with meditation and pranayama (breath energy practices).  This practice fosters heightened awareness, equanimity, a deep unwinding and endless discovery.  The slow, meditative movement explorations invite the opportunity to reawaken 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.  Awareness of habitual thinking, moving and attention patterns is possible; and with awareness sits liberation.  No previous experience needed - open to all. 
 
Soma Yoga is informed by Somatic Unwinding, the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais, Skinner Releasing, BioSomatics, Hanna Somatics, the Alexander Technique, Continuum, the teachings of Russell Delman, developmental movement, hatha yoga and meditation.
 Sessions are facilitated by Jean Hindle, founder of Soma Yoga
