Explore new ways to move. Build on your experience.
Through yoga and mindful somatic movement, you bring a meditative quality of attention to how a posture or flowing movement feels from within. You begin to sense differences that might otherwise pass unnoticed, including the pleasure of moving with greater ease.
Your nervous system uses this sensory feedback to adjust how you move. With practice, a newly felt possibility can become a more familiar way of moving in everyday life.
