About Gentle Yoga and Somatics

Hi, I am a qualified Yoga Teacher and an Essential Somatic Movement Teacher. I am Yoga Therapist registered with CNCH.

I combine the above three disciplines in my Chair-Based classes and teach Pure Somatics after training with Essential Somatics.

They all offer great benefits, you can read more about Somatics and Yoga in those sections. I have also created a blog on what to expect in my Public Chair-Based Somatic Yoga Class.

Personally, Yoga has helped me with breathing, balance, mobility and stress release. Yoga has eased chronic pain (shoulder and hip). And since discovering Somatics I haven't had any pain in these areas, other than an occasional twinge.

Somatics is not an exercise programme, although it does look a little like Yoga and Pilates, it's about becoming aware of the habits that are causing the chronic pain and stiffness. Then releasing the chronic tension that is causing the chronic pain.

It is not age that causes chronic pain and stiffness but our habits. I work with people whose work has led to issues. Though as we age we develop more bad habits - therefore more stiffness and pain.

Contact me directly about 1:1 live (Hull/East Riding) or via Zoom. Or check out my classes.
