Gentle Somatic Yoga & Movement Workshop

Investment: $40

Hanna Somatics offers gentle movement patterns that change our bodies (somas) by changing our nervous system.  Integrated with yoga, we dive inward exploring the body as perceived from within, enhancing sensory-motor communication.  Using the neo-cortex and the plasticity of the brain to release stuck patterns of contraction that can cause pain. Ultimately the intent is to be free and move in functional triaxial pathways of our choice.

Leslie Young is a yoga teacher, Hanna Somatic movement educator, massage practitioner and outdoor enthusiast.  Since discovering and training in Hanna Somatics as a way of reducing pain, this gentle approach to movement continues to infuse her practice and research.   Her clear, down to earth teaching invites space and ease in the mind and body.  She lived and taught yoga in the Whistler/Pemberton area for 20 years.  Now based on Savary Island, she divides her time between the ocean and the mountains, balancing fluidity and stability in life and yoga.
