CLASSES AND COURSES

These are popular laid-back evening floor- based somatic exercise sequence classes are designed to deeply relax your nervous system. We investigate the body through gentle yet focused movements to unlock muscular aches and pains, connecting into deeply relaxing the myofascial system.
