What is Gentle Somatic Yoga®?

Therapeutic Yoga + Somatics

Gentle Somatic Yoga® (GSY) incorporates therapeutic yoga and somatic movements that are slow, mindful and help amplify bodily awareness allowing it to self-heal. We work together in our Gentle Somatic Yoga® practice to self-correct and permanently release persistent stress-based patterns from within your body (Soma).

Instead of stretching muscles, GSY utilises the technique of pandiculation to reprogram muscles to their most optimal length in a resting position. The restorative sequences, called Somatic Movement Flows®, are ideal for unwinding stiffness, pain and postural imbalances and can significantly increase flexibility through brain-to-muscle re-education. From this place of new-found freedom, we naturally return to our generative state of peace and well-being.

Gentle Somatic Yoga® is dedicated to researching, pioneering, and facilitating the most leading-edge neuroscience in movement education.

GSY has helped diminish, correct, and/or eliminate symptoms from these conditions:

  • Chronic Lower Back Pain

"Like it or not, our bodies are a map to our whole entire life experience mentally, emotionally, physically. We temporarily forget how to use our bodies because the muscles can become unconsciously contracted even in resting states due to a reflection of stress.”"
James Knight (founder of Gentle Somatic Yoga®)
