In a warm ceremonial atmosphere, I guide you on a journey to connect with your body, emotions, voice, and heart. We’ll work with different somatic awareness and movement exercises combined with embodied voice work. We’ll release what’s burdening your heart so that you feel connected to yourself and feel more free and confident to express yourself authentically and let yourself shine. We’ll end with singing some mantras and medicine songs to open and express our hearts and discover the creativity of our authentic voice.
Somatic yoga is a gentle mindful movement practice inspired by different somatic awareness and movement approaches combined with gentle yoga stretches. Somatic yoga focuses on developing an intimate connection with and awareness of bodily sensations and emotions, and encourages movement exploration, curiosity, and playfulness. Combined with restorative yoga poses, this is a deeply relaxing class to help you slow down, release, ground, and regulate your nervous system. We work mostly on the floor and classes are accessible for everyone.
These classes explore different meditation practices to experience states of relaxation, inner calm, focus, clarity, expansion, and inner peace. Rather than working with one technique, each class guides you through a sequence of practices to gradually take you deeper into a meditative experience. During a class, we might use practices such as guided relaxation, mindfulness, and different traditional meditation techniques along with more somatic approaches to inner calm like self-touch and self-holding, and sound healing, The class is suitable for beginners as well as people who are familiar with meditation and presence-based practices.
