'Your body is the harp of your soul' [Kahlil Gibran]
​
'Somatic Yoga is a slow, gentle and meditative practice to help you unwind, release and return to your natural state of expansive, loving presence. 

I call it sloth yoga. Gentleness is its strength.

Drawing inspiration from the work of Thomas Hanna and my ongoing mentorship with Elizabeth Claire Burr, we drop into deep embodied presence. Through slowing down, awareness arises. Patterns of tension and trauma held in the body are brought into the light of awareness, so that they may be felt, witnessed and released.

Habitual actions over time can create involuntary trauma patterns in the body called sensory-motor amnesia. Through a series of simple movements we learn to recognise and release these patterns with sensory-motor awareness, bringing freedom, ease and liberation to the body-heart-mind. 

If you can feel it, we can heal it. So we return to our sensing, pulsing, liberated animal bodies.

I have been immersed in yoga for 20+ years and teaching since 2010. My classes invite you to really slow down and drop into deep loving presence, a state much needed in our fast-paced world. Tension is dissolved through micro-movements woven deep into the fascial tissue, bringing you home to your peaceful, loving essence. It may even help you stay a little bit more sane in our crazy world. [Sane = from Latin sanus meaning "sound, healthy."]
