Is This Class Right For Me?
This class may be right for you if:
✓ You would like to explore very gentle movement
✓ You need support calming your nervous system
✓ You want to reconnect with your body safely
✓ You prefer slower, floor-based practices
✓ You enjoy combining movement with deep rest
Very gentle floor based somatic movement is an opportunity to reconnect mind and body safely.
What To Expect
This class combines:
Very gentle breath-led movement
Somatic awareness
Nervous system regulation
Rest periods throughout
Guided relaxation
You will move gently, rest, breathe, pause and rest again.
The practice finishes with a long, nourishing savasana.
I always open our Zoom space 15 minutes before the class begins, for those that would like connection and chat.
Movement Without Pressure
Everything is optional.
You are encouraged to:
✓ Rest whenever needed
✓ Move less than you think you can
✓ Listen to your body
✓ Avoid pushing through fatigue
What you'll need to practice
Find somewhere comfortable and warm to practice, where you won’t be disturbed. I have a wooden floor so I stack 3 yoga mats and lay a blanket on top. If you have carpet, you may not need as much support.
Prop list
Props vary for this class - I will always let you know in advance if you need anything beyond the following:
Several blankets
Props to support you in savasana
An eye cover (or lightweight scarf)
