Therapeutic Yoga for Stress Management

Sunday, August 23 | 12:00–1:30 PM | $50 non-members / half off for members

If you've ever noticed your shoulders creeping up toward your ears during a stressful week, or found yourself holding your breath without realizing it, you already know something yoga therapists have long understood: stress doesn't just live in your mind. It settles into your body — into your posture, your breathing patterns, the way you move (or don't move) through your day.

That's exactly what this workshop is designed to address.

What Is Somatic Yoga for Stress Management?

Therapeutic Yoga for Stress Management: A Somatic Yoga Experience is a 90-minute guided workshop combining the principles of therapeutic yoga and somatic movement to help you regulate your nervous system, release stored tension, and reconnect with your body.

Unlike a traditional vinyasa or power yoga class, somatic yoga is slow, internal, and deeply supportive. The practice is done seated or lying down, which makes it accessible to every body and every level of experience including complete beginners.

Through gentle, conscious movement paired with breath awareness, somatic yoga helps retrain habitual patterns of tension and improve communication between mind and body. Instead of pushing into a pose, you'll be guided to slow down, tune in, and notice.

What to Expect in This Workshop

This session is structured to help you actually feel the shift, not just hear about it:

• A guided breath assessment at the start of class, so you can observe your body's current patterns without judgment
• Slow somatic movement and breathwork to support nervous system regulation and release unnecessary muscular tension
• Restorative practices that let you experience firsthand how mindful movement changes your stress response
• A closing breath assessment, giving you the chance to notice what's different — in your breath, your body, and your overall sense of calm

By the end, you'll walk away with practical, repeatable tools for managing stress that you can use long after the workshop ends.

Who This Workshop Is For

This class is for you if you're:

• 
  Feeling overwhelmed or stretched too thin
• Living with chronic stress or a nervous system that feels stuck "on"
• Struggling to relax, wind down, or sleep
• Looking for a gentler, more restorative way to move
• Curious about the mind-body connection but new to yoga entirely

No prior yoga experience is necessary. All levels are welcome.
