Gentle Somatic Yoga

Gentle Somatic Yoga® is a therapeutic movement practice designed to help you reconnect with your body, release chronic tension, and promote deep healing from within. Unlike traditional yoga that often emphasizes achieving poses, GSY focuses on retraining muscle groups—inviting you to slow down, listen inward, and reset your nervous system through mindful exploration.

The Heart of GSY

Movements are typically done lying down or seated and are intentionally slow and subtle—perfect for those recovering from injury, dealing with chronic pain, or seeking to improve.
