Soma Yoga is a combination of somatic movements and yoga relaxation techniques. These movements and techniques are designed to bring mind/body awareness, resulting in decreased stress response and pain, increased movement, and increased enjoyment of life. These gentle, mindful movements are tools you can learn to practice daily to enhance the quality of your life. How you feel physically determines how you feel mentally, and vice versa. It’s a never-ending circle of influence! Throughout our lives, our body/mind responds to stressors and traumatic experiences by producing reflex muscle contractions. This eventually results in stiffness and pain, decreased movement, and postural changes. The gentle movements of Soma Yoga can help!
