Teacher Feature
These past few weeks I’ve had the pleasure of talking with [[April Herndon]] about how her own practice is changing to support what her body needs. As always with April, I was impressed with her willingness to be real. She embodies the truths that all bodies can do yoga. And talking with her reaffirmed for me how beneficial—and indeed intense—a quiet restorative yoga practice can be.
April just returned from a yoga retreat where she explored the subtle aspects of a yoga practice and the intensity of going within. Please read her personal reflections on this experience and her growing practice.

Elle – Breath

SomaYoga: Somatics is a way of re-educating the way our brain senses and moves the muscles. Soma Yoga brings this wisdom into our yoga & meditation practice.

Suitable to all individuals with various physical abilities and conditions.
