Yin & Somatics blends traditional Yin poses with somatic
education. Yin poses are almost always done on the floor with the
support of yoga props. They are held for duration, generally 2-6
minutes. Somatic education is gentle movement, breathing and
awareness practices that re-educate the neuro motor system. This
type of movement is known to help release chronic tension and pain,
improve body awareness and proprioception and self regulation. This
is a deeply meditative and healing practice that will leave you
feeling great.
Students who are at the very beginning of their Yoga journey
and students who have practiced for decades love this class
equally. That's because there are very few poses in a practice. All
postures are performed close to the ground in a seated, supine or
prone position with the help of lot's of Yoga props.
Pranayama and meditation techniques are explored in this class
as well as a healthy dose of yoga theory and philosophy, anatomy
and tissue mechanics.
