Feel The Movement Yoga
A Hatha and Somatic Infused Practice

Join Cheryl into a space of deep listening, intentional movement, and embodied presence. Rooted in the grounding traditions of Hatha Yoga and enriched by the gentle inquiry of Somatic Movement, this practice is designed to reconnect you with your body’s innate wisdom.

Each class offers:

Slow, purposeful sequencing that builds strength, mobility, and awareness

Breath-led transitions to support nervous system regulation and emotional resilience

Somatic explorations that encourage curiosity, self-compassion, and embodied inquiry

Adaptable postures for diverse bodies and movement histories

Whether you're returning to movement, seeking a mindful reset, or deepening your practice, Feel The Movement Yoga meets you where you are. This is not about perfect poses—it’s about feeling, sensing, and reclaiming your relationship with movement.

Come as you are. Leave more connected.
