Wednesday January 15th, 7:00 to 8:15pm. Cost $25 + tax.  Join Lisa Beaupre-MacKinnon on a gentle Somatic Yoga practice.

Somatic Yoga is not a different or new style of yoga but rather a movment therapy, a way of re-educating the way our brain senses and moves the muscles. It encourages you to get in touch with your own senses, your own authority and move in a way that feels good for you - continuously exploring new ways of moving and being.   Your practice becomes guided from the inside, rather than the outside.  The practice brings you into relationship with your body and tries to bring your nervous system into a parasympathetic state (relaxation).   It helps retrain the brain to allow muscle to relax and go back to their natural state, undoing habitual learned movement patterns that can lead to pain. It can eliminate muscle imbalances and postural issues. Release tension and trauma from the body.   You will need a mat, comfy clothes water and a smile.
