As electromagnetic beings, every experience we’ve had is encoded in our physical tissues. Bessel Van der Kolk said, “the body keeps the score.” Somatic yoga invites you to release anything that may be “sticky,” for example, chronic tension, anxious thoughts, physical or emotional fatigue.

This workshop is all about you and how you feel. You’ll be invited to tune into your bodymind as you pulse through incremental physical movements. We will spend a lot of time on the floor and we will close with some supported asanas.

So, how are you feeling this winter? Energized or over-energized? Exhausted? Stressed? Anxious? Dehydrated? Are you experiencing chronic pain? Wishing you could afford that tropical island vacation? Maybe start with some “me” time.

While this workshop is designed for all levels and no yoga experience is required, it is not suitable for pregnant students that are 16 weeks or more, due to the extensive time we will spend lying on backs on the floor.
*Price: $65 / $45 for Ahimsa members
