Move from within.
Explore somatics as a powerful complement to yoga, cultivating awareness, fluidity, and presence through deeply felt movement. Drawing from traditions like Laban Movement Analysis, Body-Mind Centering, Feldenkrais, and Bartenieff Fundamentals, we’ll explore how somatic principles can soften the structure of yoga, allowing each pose to unfold with more ease, adaptability, and inner listening. Rather than “doing” postures, we’ll explore what it means to feel, sense, and move from the inside out.
You’ll leave with:
💜 A new lens on yoga through somatic movement principles
💜 Tools to guide inner listening and intuitive sequencing
💜 Practices that support fluidity, adaptability, and presence
What You'll Learn
Move beyond fixed shapes. Explore how postures can emerge from inner sensation rather than imposed form, guided by curiosity and embodied presence.
Blend traditional asana with intuitive, somatic movement. Break habitual patterns, awaken adaptability, and rediscover the freedom to move in new ways.
Let go of striving. Embrace wave-like motion, spirals, and subtle adjustments — shifting from external cues to the body’s own wisdom as your guide.
