Move more comfortably.
Build flexibility and strength.

Make a little room for Sunday serenity and a deeper practice. Join from home for an unhurried exploration of yoga, breathing, and somatic movement. You’ll have time to notice unnecessary tension, begin letting it go, and discover how different parts of your body can share the work.

Going deeper doesn’t have to mean working harder. A small change in how you move or breathe can open up a possibility you hadn’t felt before. Build flexibility, strength, and coordination while exploring what you can carry into the activities and challenges of the week ahead.

For students with some experience in yoga or somatic movement who want time to explore their practice more fully.

Whether you’re beginning yoga or finding your way back, this class offers a place to build flexibility, strength, and balance. Alan guides you through foundational yoga and somatic movement, with time to notice what you feel and find a comfortable way into the practice.

You’ll explore where you hold tension or use more effort than you need, then try other ways for your body to work together. The aim is to give you more choices in how you move, both in yoga and in the things you enjoy doing. There’s also time to breathe, pause, and relax.

Ideal for beginners, returning students, and experienced practitioners seeking an awareness-based approach to flexibility, strength, and stress relief.

If you’ve been feeling stiff or hesitant about movement, begin with what feels manageable today. Simple yoga postures and somatic and Feldenkrais-inspired explorations give you a chance to notice unnecessary tension and discover movements that feel more comfortable.

Alan helps you explore how different parts of your body can support one another as you reach, turn, or shift your weight. Build strength and balance gradually, with room to make a movement smaller, ask questions, or rest. Bring your hopes for the everyday activities you’d like to enjoy with more confidence. New and returning students are welcome.

Ideal for those seeking improved mobility, postural balance, and stress relief in a supportive environment.

Keep exploring what’s possible in the activities you enjoy. Through yoga, mindfulness, and somatic movement, Alan helps you notice habits of tension and effort and try other ways to move. You may discover that involving more of your body changes how a familiar movement feels.

Work on flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination while learning to use less unnecessary effort. Begin with your present abilities and explore options that support the life you want to stay involved in. There’s room to adjust the practice as your needs change.

For anyone interested in moving more comfortably, improving balance, and maintaining an active life.

Release unnecessary tension. Rediscover ease in movement. Reconnect with the activities you enjoy.

Find out what somatic awareness can bring to your yoga practice. Alan guides you through movements that help you notice and begin releasing unnecessary tension. You’ll explore how different parts of your body can work together, with less effort and more freedom for the activities you enjoy. What you feel helps guide what you try next.

Give a small movement time to become familiar. If it begins to feel easier or more enjoyable, stay with that sensation. Pleasure deserves attention, especially if you’re used to measuring progress by how hard you work.

Your nervous system uses what you feel to adjust how you move. Returning to a movement gives you time to recognize a new option and become familiar with it. You’ll explore how discoveries on the mat can carry into daily life, whether you want to walk more comfortably, return to a favorite activity, or deepen your yoga practice.

If stiffness or discomfort has made you hesitant to move, start with what feels manageable today. This is movement education that can complement appropriate health care; it does not diagnose the cause of pain or provide injury rehabilitation.

Each 90-minute session offers clear, supportive guidance to help you:

• Notice movement and postural habits that may contribute to discomfort or restriction.
• Develop flexibility, strength, and coordination through adaptable movement practice.
• Explore breathing and relaxation practices to reduce unnecessary effort.
• Build sustainable movement habits you can apply every day.

Bring your goals for walking, bending, reaching, or feeling steadier. Alan offers options so you can explore within a comfortable range, rest when needed, and build a practice for daily life. If you have persistent pain or an injury, consult your health professional about participation and any restrictions.
