Somatic Yin

The majority of our students begin a yoga practice to improve flexibility, ease tension, and reduce stress. As their practice matures, they begin to experience the meditative qualities and become more receptive to the flow of Prāna. As teachers we want to have the skills and knowledge to not only help them discover the wonderful physical benefits, but we also want to have the ability to help them experience the more subtle and yet profound energetic benefits.

Chronic muscular tension (CMT) affects everyone to varying degrees. CMT is often invisible.It can be painful and block a student’s yoga journey.

As an engineer and as an experienced yin yoga teacher with studies in tantra and hatha yoga, yin yoga, and gentle somatic yoga Brian will share how to use the science of somatics to gradually, logically and efficiently guide your students in a practice that not only dissolves chronic muscular tension, but in a practice that awakens the mind to the energetic body. These techniques apply to all yoga practices.

Somatic Yin

Somatic Yin builds on the science of somatics to identify the cause of chronic muscular tension, and gently dissolve that tension.
