An Introduction to Soma Yoga- a gentle, therapeutic yoga suitable for ALL bodies taught by Kerri Hardy, CYT-200, CYT-500 student.

A FREE series to introduce a mindful practice called Soma Yoga (which is a blend of classic yoga and therapeutic yoga) for anyone middle school to 80 years + NO YOGA EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! Come give it a try!

Soma Yoga is a beautiful, mindful practice that can help us learn to sense and feel and release patterns of tension that cause us pain so we can move more freely and live with less discomfort. Some practices may be in a chair, some on a mat on the floor… and, if you cannot get on the floor, you could complete the practice in a chair! We will work on breath and small movements in our bodies. I promise there will not be big poses or yoga flows. We may try to work into some classic poses with MANY modifications as needed. I will also weave in some yogic philosophy about the “Yamas”. The Yamas are thought of as guidelines or ethical disciplines that can help direct us to a “well-lived and joyful life”.

• July 22 Non-possessiveness

Please bring a yoga mat or blanket to lay on if you can be on the floor.
