Therapeutic Yoga Focused Workshops

Continuing Beginner’s Yoga Series
starts Thursday, Jan 22nd
9:45 – 10:45 AM
Madison, WI

This series explores the subtle, intelligent connection between breath, body, and movement with specific focus on your upper body. Somatics techniques to help you refine your practice, release tension, and develop a deeper, more intuitive sense of movement. With practice, you become more mindful of your posture in your yoga and in your everyday life. Perfect for experienced beginners looking to deepen body awareness and improve core mobility.

Reach Out with Ease, Strength with Somatics
+ Explore expansion and innate upper body strength from center

+ Create more length in your reach without over-stretching

+ Arm and shoulder positions for strength, comfort and ease

Thomas Hanna Somatics exercises engage the sensory-motor cortex in new and novel ways to support neuro-muscular exploration. One of the primary methods is pandiculation – a conscious contraction and conscious release – to engage various muscle groups in order to shift or grow internal, sensory awareness – interoception. Work with primitive reflex patterns to identify and shift habitual contraction. 

SomaYoga is a blend of Somatics and Yoga asana (postures). We may explore common standing yoga postures, but not at a depth that adds unnecessary tension to the body. You will get a better sense of your standing and sitting positions, and learn which muscles to relax and engage, during this class series.

No prior Yoga or Somatics experience necessary. This series is accessible for beginners and advanced practitioners.
