Do you hold the stressors of life in your body, or more to the point in your Neck & Shoulders?  Maybe you find it difficult to turn your head fully to the side, or when your day has ended you can just feel like your shoulders are up by your ears?  Or, maybe you often get headaches?  We often seek modalities like massage (which is awesome) or chiropractic therapy, or just about anything to get relief. 

If we stay unconscious to moving our bodies mindfully we “can” eventually become stuck from the constant command to the muscles to stay contracted and tight.  Soma yoga can give you relief!  The movements learned in this class will help you regain a deep sense of internal awareness and an ability to recognize when you are holding patterns that lead to discomfort or pain - and provide you with the tools to unravel the contraction.

Here is what you will learn:

• An awareness that comes from the inside - out

• A series of therapeutic moves targeted to full body and {specifically neck & shoulder release}

• How to slowly lengthen and release the muscles to completely relax; and not through “stretching”

• Start to recognize and release dysfunctional patterns of tightness the can cause chronic pain

• Lastly, you will receive a handout to take home to practice this series - remember we learn best through practiced movement

It isn’t our age that determines our level of flexibility and well-being, it is what you bring to your age that matters.
