ReForm Somatic Yoga Therapy, formerly Atha SomaYoga

Somatic Yoga is a combination of traditional yoga, therapeutic yoga, and the Neuromuscular Re-education of Somatics. In Somatics, we learn to become aware of patterns in our bodies that are causing pain and immobility. Through a greater awareness of these patterns and the small, specific movements of the shoulder girdle, pelvis, and spine, we can learn to release chronic muscle tension and increase freedom of movement. Therapeutic yoga is based on the 8 Limbs of Yoga of which Asana (or poses) is only one of these 8. Breathwork is also a major focus of SomaYoga, as well as bringing all of the 8 limbs more into balance.
