Somatic Yoga
Unwind The Body - 6 Week Online Course
Starting: Wednesday 22 October, 7-8pm
“This course is much more than simply movement, it's reconnecting with yourself and reclaiming your well-being, because you can't pour from an empty cup. "
Somatics Yoga: Accessible - Adaptable - Effective
Rejuvenate and nourish yourself. Designed to help caregivers and parents release stress, rediscover spaciousness, and cultivate lasting well-being.
Join us for a transformative journey of self-care and rejuvenation with our "Unwind the Body" somatic yoga course. This course offers a much-needed opportunity to prioritise self-nourishment and relaxation.
Over the course of six weeks, participants will engage in a practical, hands-on exploration of the body's tensions and tightnesses that accumulate from life's responsibilities. Through a variety of movement practices, including standing, seated (on chairs or the floor), and floor exercises, you'll learn to release stored stress and rediscover a sense of spaciousness within.
Each week will offer a unique focus, allowing you to dive deep into different aspects of somatic yoga that can be integrated into your daily routine. Whether it's gentle stretches to unwind tight muscles, breathwork to soothe the nervous system, or mindfulness practices to cultivate presence and peace, you'll leave each session feeling refreshed and renewed.
A recording of each weekly class will be available for one week to support student practise.
This course is not just about physical movement; it's about reconnecting with yourself on a deeper level and learning to listen to your body's wisdom. You will develop tools and techniques to support your ongoing well-being for life.
I look forward to welcoming you on this journey of self-discovery and self-care.
