Gentle Somatic Yoga® for pain relief and deep self-care
Life is a journey, and learning skills for self-care and aging gracefully is a journey as we enter different phases in our lives. We begin or continue somewhere on a path because our spirit is calling us forward to evolve. And, sometimes, along the way, it is helpful to have guides. Gentle Somatic Yoga® and Somatic Wellness™ founder, James Knight, and his Team, are here to support and inspire you into optimal health and wellness!
Here are some new categories for you to discover on our new GSY website:
First, our biggest addition is the announcement of our Somatic Wellness™ brand that encourages and fosters whole-self nourishment. This not only includes gentle yoga, but also lifestyle.
Our intention for this brand we are growing is to:
- Offer easy and reliable everyday self-care tools to a wider audience. These methods are accessible for everyBODY regardless of age, background, or skill level. No knowledge or experience of yoga is necessary.
- Empower you with the newest evidence-proven and heart-based discoveries on how to maintain vibrant health.
- Inspire more people to enjoy feeling freer in their bodies. (This might include people that consider themselves overweight, not flexible, or not confident to move in a room with others).
- Invite athletes to improve their strength, flexibility, and performance.
- Evolve together in a conscious global community where we can share information, support each other, and make meaningful long-lasting connections.
