Facts and benefits of Somatic yoga:
~ muscles are controlled by the nervous system sending messages to the brain.
~ the brain can learn new muscle patterns (from repetitive movements, muscle strain, injury, trauma and emotional tension.)
~ muscles may become tight and weak, causing pain.
~ somatic movements re-educate the brain to create new muscle pattern.
~ the only way to change muscle patterns is the involve the brain.

Short Survey on Class Preferences

I have created a very short survey and am hoping you will complete it as soon as possible as I will soon need to book the Findlay centre for the fall later this month. This will enable me to plan better when I know people’s preferences.Thank you so much for your time and looking forward to “seeing you on your mat” soon!

Love and peace,

Barb

This is your opportunity to provide input into yoga classes this fall so io can plan with your preferences!

TESTIMONIALS

What people are saying about our SOMATIC YOGA CLASSES this week

Jeannine, I met you 10 years ago in my first class at the church off Caldwell road. It was a pleasure meeting you and looking forward to coming to the class every week.
You help many of us with our aches and pains.
Sophie ♥️

Barb,
I am seeing benefits from your instruction and my participation in the somatic yoga classes as they relate to my particular type of dizziness. Things that are helping include: movement while laying down or seated on the mat, gentle and mindful movements with repetition and gradual challenge, pausing to check in with our body and thoughts, slow and coordinated breathing, and suggestions on how to support balance and body comfort . I look forward to my time on the yoga mat!
