Explore new ways to move and feel more at ease.
Yoga and somatic movement with Alan Franzi—in Madison, Connecticut, and online.
Build strength, balance, and confidence through unhurried practice, with time to notice, explore, and learn. New here? Let’s find your starting point.
Feel better. Keep growing.
Through yoga and somatic movement, our work is designed to relieve stress and help you move with greater strength and coordination. Whether you want to feel more comfortable in daily life or improve your athletic or artistic performance, you’ll work toward abilities that matter to you.
Together, we’ll slow down familiar movements and yoga poses so you can notice where your effort helps and where it gets in the way. You’ll practice adjustments that improve how your body works together, with time to feel and absorb what you learn.

What’s New
Fall Sunday series · October 4–November 22
Go deeper without working harder
Sundays, 9–10:30 a.m. Eastern · Online via Zoom
October 4–November 22, 2026 · Eight weeks
$20 drop-in · Join the remaining series for $16 per week
Make a little room for yourself on Sunday morning, right from home. For students with some yoga or somatic experience, we spend time with yoga postures and gentle movement variations, attending to sensation and allowing pauses to feel what changes. Going deeper doesn’t have to mean working harder. Sometimes it means giving yourself time to settle in.

About Alan
Alan Franzi, MS, C-IAYT, brings 35 years of experience in yoga and movement therapy to his teaching at Creative Edge Yoga. A certified yoga therapist and movement educator, he draws on that background to help students understand how they move and stay involved in the activities they enjoy.
Alan encourages you to ask questions, pay attention to what you feel, and try things at your own pace. You might notice you’re holding your breath or working harder than you need to. There’s room to learn whether you’re starting out, returning after a break, or building on years of practice.
What Students Experience
Although I have a yoga practice that spans twenty years and a variety of styles, I discover something new and profound every time that I’m in a classroom with Alan Franzi.
