Question 1

Do I need to have previous yoga experience?

Accepted Answer

All levels are warmly welcome, no prior experience required. Somatic Yin Yoga is accessible to all levels, whether you're a beginner or experienced. The focus is on body awareness and gentle movements, making it suitable for everyone.

Question 2

What is the difference between a traditional yin yoga class and somatic yin yoga?

Accepted Answer

In traditional yin yoga, the focus is on long-held passive poses to stretch deep connective tissues and improve flexibility. Somatic yin yoga, however, invites gentle, intuitive movements that increase body awareness, helping you tune into your sensations and create a deep body-mind-connection.

Question 3

How does somatic yin yoga help with stress relief?

Accepted Answer

Somatic yoga encourages you to tune into your body, release tension, and become aware of subtle sensations. Along with breathing & meditation, this mindful practice helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes deep relaxation and stress relief.

Question 4

What do I need for the online class?

Accepted Answer

Besides an electronic device & stable internet connection, you'll need a yoga mat, comfortable clothing, and a quiet space. A bolster, blanket, or pillows can be helpful for extra support in some poses, but they are optional. Also: Bring a journal & pen!
