Workshops
Soma Flow & Movement sessions are a space for self-exploration. They journey into and through the sensory landscape as we participate intimately with the NOW moment. Participating in the presence of our own being alongside the class. While we may be moving in the same energy direction, our unique imprint and expression will look different. We aren't conforming to a one-size-fits-all manuscript while embodying a different joint setup. It is a personal attunement.
This is a somatic movement class with the Heart of Yoga. The nervous system likes options. We will move through different postures, with time and space to discuss and practice variations that fuel you. Note: The pace is slow, but that doesn't mean it's a Yin class. The workshop will safely contain both active and passive movements.
Who is this workshop for?
If you're new to yoga or somatic movement, this is a less intimidating container to start with. I will guide you in a way that is not one-size-fits-all or linear, but encourages collaboration with your attention and sensory feedback. It is accessible because we fit the postures to what we need, at the moment.
If you're experienced in yoga or somatic movement, this workshop may complement your existing practices by expanding the range of what's available. Often, there isn't enough time in an hour-long class to provide a student with an alternative flow or positioning, so you either feel like you're missing out or have to recklessly contort yourself into a single-sized pose.

Soma Flow Dance breathes the same essence with more rhythm. These sessions are not for engagement with others on the 'dance floor.' This is a journey of tuning into and engaging with ourselves in a supportive space together. *Personal engagement on the floor is removed entirely. There's something profound about moving into the space of ourselves alongside others doing the same thing. Without reaching out, we feel seen and supported through our peripheral network.
The Setup: We will begin the workshop by soft tuning in and then move into practicing various body movement explorations together. These explorations will be different forms of standing flow and movements close to the ground. We may incorporate personal sounds into some of our explorations, using only what feels resonant. 30 minutes of free-flow dance before we surrender into a 15-minute savasana. The last 30 minutes are free for you to be quiet in your own space and integrate or connect through casual, light-hearted dialogue, during which you can share anything about your experience.
The Music I will use a variety of music, in no particular relational sequence, to help guide us into forgotten pockets of our moving vernacular. I recognize that music is so personal that each genre or style has its unique sensory feedback in the body. Various sound reflections may act as a conduit to free up space in the soma. It's like having access to many props in a yoga class, where we can bring the yoga to us, not the other way around, to a one-size-fits-all version of 'Yoga.'
Who is this for? This workshop is perfect for folks who have an inner desire for dance movement yet would like guidance to help unlock or unbind the flow within. This workshop could complement ecstatic dance workshops as a prerequisite or alternative form that may resonate more with a particular nervous system or desire.

Partner Soma Flow
Partner Soma Flow is back in September, with Ashley Simran and Sonoro Love co-facilitating.
I have studied and worked with the body for 14+ years through various somatic modalities.
While we acknowledge the importance of self-sustainability, the intimate practice of safe co-regulation can be a potent source of therapeutic harmony.
This 3.5-hour play workshop will allow us to reconnect with ourselves through attunement with one another while learning some fabulous bodywork techniques along the way.
