What is Somatic Hatha Yoga?
Through movement, body awareness, and breathing exercises, you’ll support your nervous system in releasing tension—both muscular (jaw, pelvis, neck, lower back) and mental—to find greater calm.
Elements of body therapy and yoga are combined to stimulate your vagus nerve.
