Gentle Yoga

A slower-paced practice with gentle movement, stretching, and options to reduce effort. For those seeking a gentler experience, whether new to yoga or experienced.

Find Your Fit

A practice shaped around your experience.

Pace: Slow, with options to reduce effort

Experience: New and experienced practitioners seeking a gentler practice

Gentle Flow & Deep Stretch combines unhurried flowing movement with stretches and breath awareness. Gentle Somatic Yoga explores comfortable movement and internal sensation. Both welcome all levels, including beginners. Choose a range of motion that suits you, and pause or rest when needed. Gentle describes pace and effort; it does not necessarily mean a class is devoted to step-by-step instruction in yoga fundamentals.

Our experienced instructors offer guidance and variations. Let your teacher know you are new, and choose the options that fit your body that day.

This practice is not a substitute for individualized medical or mental health care, physical therapy, or rehabilitation. If pain, injury, balance concerns, or a health condition may affect participation, consult an appropriate clinician and speak with your instructor or practitioner before participating.

Gentle Somatic Yoga

Move gently, breathe mindfully, and reconnect with your body's sensations. This accessible somatic yoga class emphasizes comfort, curiosity, mobility, and relaxation over perfect poses.

Read More about Gentle Somatic Yoga

Reconnect with your body through gentle, exploratory movements, breath awareness, and mindful attention to internal sensations. Rather than striving for a perfect pose, you'll be invited to move comfortably, notice how you feel, and develop greater ease and body awareness. This slower-paced class supports relaxation and mobility.

Level: All levels, including beginners.

Somatic movement emphasizes how an action feels from the inside rather than how it looks. You'll explore small, comfortable motions, breath awareness, and opportunities to pause and notice sensations. The practice encourages curiosity, self-direction, and a gentle approach to mobility. There is no pressure to stretch deeply or perform a particular pose.

Small movements can be meaningful when approached with attention. The instructor will encourage you to pause, notice, and respond to your own experience instead of comparing yourself with others.
