SomaYoga Therapy

SomaYoga Therapy is a blend of Traditional Yoga, Therapeutics, and the Neuromuscular Re-education of Somatics. SomaYoga Therapy resolves pain and teaches new movement patterns to keep you out of the injury/pain cycle.

What is SomaYoga?

Years of stress & repetitive movement patterns can lead to chronic muscular tension and pain. You can address these underlying patterns through the active learning process called Somatic Neuromuscular Re-education and Yoga Therapy, also known as SomaYoga. 

SomaYoga techniques help you release chronic muscular holding and pain, retrain your nervous system, restore posture, expand your breath, and learn fluid movement patterns. The result is greater freedom in how you move, greater freedom in how you feel, and greater freedom in your life. 

Sensing & feeling our bodies from within is essential to pain relief, healthy fluid movement, and connecting to who we are more fully. Together we can reawaken your mind's control of movement, flexibility, & health. 

In a culture of quick fixes, SomaYoga gets to the root cause of pain and teaches you how to heal. SomaYoga is efficient & effective because you are in partnership with your body, mind, and spirit. Sensing and feeling our bodies from within is essential to heal our patterns and create long term change. 

Available to All

SomaYoga Therapy is accessible to ALL people.  SomaYoga feels great, is highly engaging, manages stress, and creates long term change from the inside so you can be self-regulating and self-correcting. Learn how to move without pain and have more freedom for the daily activities you enjoy!

“I came to Wendy this fall for a super sore SI joint. My pain was so debilitating that I could barely get in and out of a car without wincing and bracing myself. Being fit and a yoga instructor myself, I was at a loss. I tried yoga, strength training and chiropractic care. While all of those things helped me, they seemed to act as a bandaid. The pain still returned. During one of my chiropractic adjustments with my amazing Chiropractor, Dr. Rebecca, she advised me to check out SomaYoga with Wendy. I mentioned my goal was to permanently fix my problem. I made an appointment that day. After just 6 sessions, I am completely 100% better. I have a new, deeper understanding of my body. Wendy helped me to guide my body back to a pain free state. It’s been 4 months since I had this pain and it has not returned. I feel confident though if it were to return that I would use the tools Wendy taught me. SomaYoga is fascinating and incredibly helpful. Thank you Wendy!!!”
