GENTLE SOMATIC YOGA
"The only way you can hurt the body is not to use it."
-Jack Lalanne-
Gentle Somatic Yoga (GSY) is based and derived from Hanna Somatic Education and reverse the effects of Sensor Motor Amnesia (SMA). The movements are slow and mindful, and raise bodily awareness.
The restorative therapeutic movements address the root cause of most muscles tightness and chronic pain. Ninety five percent of tightness and chronic musculoskeletal pain is functional (brain) and not structural. Sensor Motor Amnesia (SMA) is an adaptive response of the nervous system, it can be unlearned.
Most people who have chronic pain are afraid to move.

musculoskeletal pain in your body. You can even learn how to prevent pain and tension in the future.​

range of motion. The result is unlocking chronic pain, greater
freedom of movement and lasting satisfying changes to the
whole self.
