As we transition from winter to spring, we move from the season of yin to the season of yang. Where cold and damp once dominated, we transition to warmth and sunshine. However, the body often struggles with seasonal transitions - allergies may act up, we may come down with colds, feel sluggish in body and digestion, etc. This is the residue of what is called Kapha dosha in Ayurveda - dominance of earth/water/dampness. This practice helps bring gentle heat into the body, encouraging circulation and energetic flow, helping us navigate the transition from winter to spring with ease. What is Somatic Yoga?
Due to lifestyle, stress, trauma, sitting in chairs, we all have patterns in our bodies that can create imbalance in the form of muscles that are chronically tight and/or weak. Our fascia continuously adapts to our habits, thought patterns and stress levels. Through gentle movement and myofascial release techniques, the practice of somatic yoga will help you release chronic pain and stress in the body. By working on our sensory motor system, our muscular-skeletal structure and overall health can improve without the use of medications and expensive treatments. Based on the work of Thomas Hanna, the term “somatic” means to experience something in your body through interoception, sensing within. This practice is gentle and effective, no experience is necessary! Everyone can benefit, regardless of age and ability. This practice is done on the floor, no standing work, and incorporates myofascial release with tennis balls. Please join Deanna for this transformative and deeply relaxing practice. Deanna is a certified SATYA practitioner, which stands for sensory awareness training for yoga attunement. She has trained extensively with Tias Little of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
