A familiar movement can become an opportunity to learn. In class, we take time to notice how we move, try a different amount of effort or support, and pay attention to what changes. The aim is to explore options you can bring into your yoga practice and the activities that matter to you.
The Yoga of Somatic Exploration – Ageless Ease brings this curiosity into practice. Join online or in person on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. at the Shoreline Center for Wholistic Health in Guilford. We combine yoga with guided explorations of how you move and use effort.
Alongside stretching and strengthening, we make time to learn the movement itself. You might explore how your ribs and pelvis participate in a turn or how shifting your weight changes a reach.
Simple, progressive movement explorations invite you to notice familiar tension, try a variation, and compare the experience. You do not need to achieve a particular range or shape.
The class brings yoga and somatic movement education together through observation, repetition, and curiosity.
The aim is to discover options you can practice on the mat and bring into daily activities. Each person’s experience and progress will be different.
You’re encouraged to explore at your own pace, make movements smaller when needed, and pause to notice how you feel. Alan offers guidance as you try different ways to coordinate a movement and adjust your effort.
Whether your interest is yoga, recreation, or everyday movement, there is room to work toward strength, flexibility, balance, and confidence. Start with what you can do and something you would like to explore.
