Somatic Yoga facilitates embodiment practices through gentle yoga in an intensive group setting. Somatic Yoga is designed to slowly and gently facilitate the mind/body connection, while also engaging in evidence based practices to support trauma recovery.
Why yoga? Yoga, particularly trauma-informed yoga, can be a powerful tool to help regulate the nervous system, reconnect individuals with their bodies, and foster a sense of safety and self-awareness. Through mindful movement, breathing techniques, and somatic awareness, yoga can help release physical tension, reduce stress, and promote emotional regulation.
During this 8 week series participants will engage in weekly 90 minute sessions which include:
Journaling to engage the mind and set intentions for your experience
Slow Gentle Yoga and Restorative Yoga incorporating props for support
Gentle art therapy
Options for reflection in a supportive group setting
