This class is great for someone that is totally new to yoga and looking for a more somatic approach to the practice.

This class is part of an ongoing series, but you are able to drop in to one or many..

In many yoga traditions, the teaching emphasis is on perfecting shapes (poses) and isolating movement at specific joints. In this blended class, attention is focused on treating your body as a connected system, moving beyond isolated exercises. The first part of class will mostly be on the floor, using bolsters and other props to develop an understanding of joint movements that will later be used in the more traditional yoga asana poses. The last half of class will be more active poses and stretching, concluding in a restful savasana. 

Each class is an original, innovative creation of Sarah’s teaching. She blends a more traditional gentle yoga practice with the novel Feldenkrais® awareness practices. But that’s not all, she incorporates joint specific training, functional range exercises, self-massage, breathing exercises, and a compassionate non-competitive mindset. It’s a true experience of movement therapy! You will train your sensitivity in such a way that you find yourself feeling more alive, vibrant and spacious.
