Therapeutic Approach to Classic Asana [SomaYoga Weekend Immersion]

SomaYoga Therapy is the blend of gentle therapeutic yoga with neuromuscular retraining of Somatics. In this immersive training, we will look at yoga asana through a study of anatomy, kinesiology, and SomaYoga methodology & techniques so your own practice and students’ practice can flourish with ease. Specific SomaYoga techniques – such as aligning from the spine out to the largest joints and the extremities, and using self-pandiculation to increase mobility and function – will be studied within the framework of this intensive workshop.

 

SomaYoga Therapy and Somatics can help us work toward smarter muscles, and you'll learn why two very conscious cycles with curiosity are better than 10 fast repetitions. Explore how Somatics involves the brain, muscles, and the nervous system. Learn how to incorporate it into yoga practice to help students improve posture and get out of chronic or persistent pain.
