SomaYoga Therapy to Enliven Your Core Immersion with Ann and Dan Blackburn

SomaYoga Therapy is a unique blend of Somatics (neuromuscular re-education), ancient yoga practices, and functional movement. This approach creates mobility, strength, and stability while nourishing the body and mind.

The Somatic movements release tension patterns & retrain muscle imbalances to enliven the core. Yoga practices strengthen, stabilize, and regulate the nervous system. This blend can lead to greater freedom and strength in our daily activities, help prevent injuries, and helps integrate the body, mind, and spirit. In this immersion, we will explore the neurophysiology behind SomaYoga, learn about the stress response in our nervous system and how to retrain it. We’ll learn how to integrate this approach into your life and share it with others. This exploration enlivens our core for freedom, strength, and stability. This practice is like unfurling from deep Winter into Spring.

You will receive videos and audio to support your personal practice. No experience is necessary. This immersion is accessible for everybody as you are guided to find the postures, movements, and variations that are just right for you.

Also included is a light Ayurvedic lunch prepared by Chef Renee Deman.
