Somatic Yin & Restore (Community Class)
At Om Home: A nourishing journey of body awareness, unlocking energy flow, and embracing deep rest.
All the Details
Step onto your mat and into the blissful world of Somatic Yin & Restore, where we invite you to connect deeply with your body and release tension in a way that feels like a full-body sigh of relief. This is yoga with a sensory journey, where you’ll tune into your body’s sensations and let your bodily intelligence guide you through each moment of your practice. We’ll begin with a mindful practice designed to deeply engage the body’s connective tissues — the fascia, ligaments, and joints — unlocking energy channels based on Traditional Chinese Medicine. This isn’t just about stretching; it’s about slowing down, sinking into each pose, and becoming fully aware of the subtle sensations your body is offering. As you hold poses for several minutes, you’ll notice how your body responds, how it opens, and how your breath flows effortlessly with the movement. Flexibility? Sure, that’s a lovely bonus. But the real magic happens when you truly feel your body waking up and releasing tension from the inside out. Next, we’ll ease into full comfort. Using props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks, we’ll support your body in deeply restful poses that allow you to fully let go and unwind. It’s all about total relaxation, giving your nervous system the space it needs to repair and restore, while your mind gently drifts into peaceful stillness. These long-held, supported poses are designed to nurture and heal, offering you the ultimate invitation to just be. And the music? It’s the perfect soothing backdrop, thoughtfully selected to encourage safety, stillness, and rest throughout your practice. The calming melodies will create a gentle container, helping you feel held and supported as you settle deeper into each pose and embrace the quiet that guides your body and mind into a place of complete relaxation. Ready to dive into your body’s sensations and embrace total rest?
