Program Description
Experience a weekend of complete restoration while learning therapeutic movement sequences called Somatic Movement Flows®. Gentle Somatic Yoga® (GSY) is a simple, practical, and reliable form of brain-to-muscle repatterning that goes to the root cause of most muscular pain, stiffness, and posture imbalances.
Instead of traditional stretching, GSY strengthens the brain-to-muscle connection through a technique called pandiculation. Bring back comfort to the movement of your body, improve your health, and amplify the overall quality of your life. Feel empowered by embodying progressive and innovative techniques that combine Hatha Yoga, Hanna Somatic Education, Core Energetics, pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation.
This is a great introductory course for anyone wanting to build or enhance a daily home practice. If you are a yoga teacher, yoga therapist, bodyworker, or health care professional you can implement Gentle Somatic Movement Flows effortlessly into your group classes or customized personal sessions.
