Somatic Restorative Yoga

About this event

This trauma-informed practice consists of restorative poses with creative supports, making postures and deep stretches accessible with minimal physical exertion. Through each class, somatic awareness is prioritized over "correct" form. Most classes begin with slow, gentle, fascia-focused movement before we settle in. Each session is sequenced to target two designated areas of the body commonly associated with tension and emotional holding. Along the way, we'll occasionally explore the veil between science and woo-woo: the neuroscience and physiology behind how we experience emotion and energy in our bodies. With regular attendance, this class is designed to help develop a broader range of motion, greater bodily and emotional awareness, an understanding of your body's responses, and a deeper sense of comfort and safety within your nervous system. (Bolsters, blankets, blocks, mats, and straps are provided. Feel free to bring yours from home.)
