This two-part workshop on the chakra system offers an illuminating synthesis of information distilled from a rich collection of sources historically linked to the ancient traditions of Yoga and Tantra. Each of the seven main energy centers will be examined in detail with reference to energetic anatomy and corresponding physical, psychological, and transpersonal attributes. Our exploration will include aspects of subtle-body theory and experiential samples of yoga postures, breathwork, and meditation which help to support or restore the healthy function and balance of the chakras and the subtle-to-physical-body network.  Read more >

You CAN feel better! 

Lean how to relax and release tight, contracted muscles and improve motor function through a combination of yoga postures and meditative somatic movement.  This combined technique stimulates the brain and nervous system to release chronic muscle tension so that the brain can take back voluntary control of otherwise involuntarily contracted muscles.

While our brain and central nervous system controls our muscles and movement, it can also keep our bodies tight and contracted due to accidents, injuries, repetitive tasks, or on-going stress. If we sit at a computer all day long, our muscles learn to stay contracted only to a certain length in order to be ready to hold that same position again the next day. In other words, our muscles habituate to whatever it is we do repeatedly, and certain muscles become set, by the brain, at a certain length and get "stuck" on. Through neuromuscular re-patterning, students learn to re-educate their muscles to relieve habitual postural tensions and maladaptive movement habits while setting healthy, supportive muscle tone and joint function.

This unique, meditative floor-based practice gives priority to the internal experience and perception of movement, rather than in the external perfection of a pose.  Somatic Yoga is for everyone - including...

• those with chronic pain (especially in the shoulders, back, and hips),
• those with limited range-of-motion who want to move more efficiently and freely,
• those who are recovering from trauma or an injury and are seeking to prevent future problems,
• experienced yogis who are suffering from chronic instability, injury, pain or just want a more meditative practice.

Designed to be a safe and effective way to utilize our ability to self-heal, self-correct, and ultimately gain self-mastery while quieting the mind. (Based on Eleanor Criswell's Somatic Yoga & Thomas Hanna Somatics, and draws heavily from biofeedback research literature for actual effects of the practice.)
