Repattern Muscles from Head to Toe!

Join James Knight, founder of Gentle Somatic Yoga®, and discover for yourself why Gentle Somatic Yoga has gained world-wide recognition for offering immediate and lasting relief from chronic pain, stiffness, and other tension-based patterns. In this workshop, you will be invited to explore this innovative method that combines Hatha Yoga, Hanna Somatic Education, Core Energetics, pranayama, quantum physics, and healing meditations.

Learn how to address the root cause of muscular pain through therapeutic and corrective sequences called Somatic Movement Flows®. These Flows can significantly improve flexibility, strength, posture, and freedom in everyday movement. Through a process of brain-to-muscle repatterning most people find beneficial results that are immediate and long lasting. In this experiential 3-hour workshop, be ready to be inspired into deeper levels of self-care and self-healing.Gentle Somatic Yoga® is unparalleled in terms of its capacity to nourish, liberate, and enhance the vitality of the Soma (whole self).

In this experiential 3-hour workshop, be ready to be inspired into deeper levels of self-care and self-healing. All sessions will be recorded and available for up to 30 days after each event. You will be guided through therapeutic movement sequences called Somatic Movement Flows®. 

These easy and reliable sequences will help you dissolve internal stress holding patterns, significantly improve flexibility, and re-establish good posture. Instead of traditional stretching, you will learn how to reeducate the mind to muscle connection through a technique called pandiculation. 

After each movement class within the workshop, there will be a “learning laboratory” to review each Somatic Movement Flow in detail, along with tips and modifications so you can tailor this practice for your specialty niche. Also, there is a presentation in every course to review the history, neuroscience, philosophy, and method of Gentle Somatic Yoga.

Recommended props: blankets, blocks, a chair--whatever helps you to feel comfortable!

Equanimity, or Upekkha, is a heart practice from the Buddhist teachings that keeps us still in the midst of chaos. It protects the heart from going into envy, the excitement of joy from becoming agitated, and compassion from sliding into pity. It stays present to whatever is arising without judging or reacting. 

For those of us who are yoga teachers, health care providers, educators, social workers, and in other healing and caretaking roles, we are conditioned and even trained to hold the hearts and suffering of others, when they’re simply not ours to hold. 

As our global community navigates this time of transition, we might be exploring how to emerge with grace as we heal from the impact of a period of collective trauma. 

This workshop will be rooted in the Buddha’s teachings and will include a Dharma talk, formal meditation practice, a Yin Yoga practice, and a dialogue about how we take our practice off the cushion and into the world.

This discussion and experiential practice provides a fundamental understanding and awareness of your state of being or state of your nervous system. Develop internal awareness of when and how to self-regulate. Gain an understanding of the bodymind’s energy and communication systems (nervous systems, brain functions, and vestibular system). The experiential practice uses evidence-based trauma-conscious yoga protocol—asana, pranayama, and meditation—to develop your inner awareness and proprioceptive and kinesthetic senses to develop greater resiliency. Resiliency in all energetic beings is the ability to appropriately vacillate between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems as life demands.

A recording will be made available to registrants for two weeks following the workshop.
