Sink into Support | supported mindful movement

Soma Yoga | Trauma Informed Yoga

4 SESSION SERIES

In this series you are invited to sink into the support around you, beneath you, and within you. In every session we will utilize the wall and props to explore supported shapes. You are welcome to find reprieve in being supported as we move, breathe, and connect with our bodies.

Hip flexors and supported half moon pose at the wall.
