Cultivating new choices can lead to freedom in the body
Many of us are distracted on a day-to-day basis by feeling dissatisfied with how we feel in our bodies. We are aware of the effects of stress on our physical health by feelings of pain, stiffness, and fatigue. On an emotional level, we can sometimes feel overwhelmed, helpless, and discouraged.
It’s curious that even with the best of intentions most of us fall short in our daily habits of self-care by procrastination. Overtime, we develop unhealthy habits and patterns that sabotage our energy, health, sense of self-worth, and confidence.
Gentle Somatic Yoga® (GSY) & Somatic Wellness™ gives you a solution! You can easily turn your habits and limiting beliefs around by developing nourishing daily self-care practices. Cultivating a sense of devotion to self-care: a kinder and more compassionate way of being while creating your Somatic Wellness™ lifestyle by design. You can learn to understand your body’s messages to self-correct and self-heal.
The invitation of Gentle Somatic Yoga® is to develop a home practice that will help you easily unwind from old stress-holding patterns and increase your flexibility, strength, and overall sense of peace and well-being. By exploring the Somatic Movement Flows® the positive effects are immediate for most people and also long-lasting.

Virtual Deep Dive Workshops
2 ½-hour livestream Event
Offered Seasonally*
These livestream Workshops are similar to our Somatic Sanctuaries, however, there are two movement classes paired with two “learning laboratories” where you can write notes and ask questions about tailoring the Somatic Movement Flows for your practices. This is a great way to learn more about the method, neuroscience, and philosophy of Gentle Somatic Yoga.
The best gift of all is Self-care. Our Somatic Movement Flows allow you to find peace in every moment.
PEACE AND WELLBEING IS OUR NATURAL STATE
- What are some of your life stressors and how do they affect your body?
- Do you remember a time in your life where you mind and body felt in balance?
- When you feel an “Inner Yes” to a life choice, how does it register as and internal felt sensation?
