Sunday SomaFlow: Somatics + Flow Yoga

Subject: SUNDAY SOMATICS+FLOW, THROUGH AUGUST

SomaFlow combines Somatic movement and accessible flow to create a lovely, balanced practice. The first half of the class is SATYA—Sensory Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement—in which we "slide and glide" on a blanket; movements that are soft and slow and which bring us more deeply inward. Gliding, undulating, and pulsing, we move with little effort, sensing how movement emerges from within. The movements take us out of the ego and beyond conscious control, connecting to the deep interior of the psyche.
As we penetrate layer by layer into our interior, we experience not only physical, but psychic absorption, or Samapatti. This “soaking inward” is profoundly healing for both body and mind.
From these slow soft movements, we move into an accessible flow practice that mirrors some of the opening movements, but in a weight bearing, more active capacity to create an organic and progressive journey that will leave you feeling whole and grounded for the week ahead.
This class will be offered through August, Sundays at 11 am at our WRJ studio.
