This is going to be a special one!! I'm excited to collaborate with and for this Yin & Pin workshop. Our intention is to help you let go of any old wintery stuff you no longer need and invite in that vital spring energy.

While winter is a time to rest and conserve, there can also be a stagnation, or feeling of being stuck that shows up that can hold us back from fully enjoying and letting in the vital spring vibes. The 4 gates acupuncture points also happen to be a great introduction to acupuncture if you've never received this medicine before. posted a great reel about the points, if you want to learn more.

Did you know that yin yoga works with the same meridians as acupuncture? While we might view the yin practice as a great stretch and relaxation practice, each pose also correlates to a meridian that your chi (energy/prana) moves along. We can even sequence a practice for the particular season.

All the poses will be familiar if you've practiced yin but we don't always talk about the meridians in a regular practice. This yin practice will work to stretch and compress the meridians that correlate to the 4 gates acupuncture points that M & T will be needling for the extended savasana. Preparing the energy pathways prior to the acupuncture treatment is sure to be a powerful combination.

Plus! Emily will be providing intuitive group energy work while we practice ✨!

To sign up head to the app, purchase your workshop credit and book your mat for May 4th at 7:30pm.

I hope you can join us!

This workshop has been simmering in my brain since last fall, so I'm excited to finally bring it forward!

This 3 hour class is an exploration of somatic skills via Restorative Yoga and Somatic Experiencing concepts and methods.

Our relationship to support is the focus in this class. We will use the physical supports of restorative yoga and explore the concept of 'the web of support' in our lives. Using a short journaling exercise and visualization work as well as orienting, somatic tracking and pendulation practice we will begin to attune to the parts of us that are overworking, creating excess tone and holding patterns (eg. breath holding, muscle clenching) in an effort to hold us up, and begin to teach these parts they dont have to work so hard all the time and soften into support.

It's important to note that we are not looking to "release" anything. Rather building a better relationship with our body so we can begin to understand what our body is trying to communicate and integrate the self protection responses that are actually showing up to support us.

This class is primarily practice oriented with some education woven in as well.

You should dress in layers as the body can cool down with restorative work.

Please bring a pen, journal or paper, a yoga mat ( I have some if needed), and a pillow and blanket that you really find cozy or really enjoy the texture of. You may also wish to have something to cover your eyes like a scarf, eye mask or hat you can pull down.

This is going to be especially helpful for those who are or have been hyper-independant, work as supporters, healers, caregivers (traditional and non-traditional), self-employed folks, or people in roles where they have to provide a lot of support (even if it isn't "your job") have experienced a lack of family/friend support, you're the ones who everyone turns to for a listening ear, and anyone who is experiencing doing it all on their own.

This workshop will be 1-4pm on Sunday April 27th at Lokamotion.

Somatic Experiencing (SE) focuses on the body's physical responses to chronic stress and/or trauma, rather than solely on thoughts and emotions.

SE recognizes that chronic stress, chronic pain and trauma can create dysregulation in the nervous system, leading to physical symptoms and emotional distress.

SE can be integrated into bodywork, classical therapy work, movement practices, artistic work and beyond. It is more about changing our approach to this work by using a trauma informed, mindbody approach that may integrate movement and manual therapies, breath work, guided imagery, education and more.

SE encourages clients to become more aware of their internal sensations (interoception) and to develop greater capacity for self-regulation.

The goal of SE is to help individuals integrate physical and emotional tension stored in the body, which can reduce symptoms of chronic stress and trauma-related disorders like PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

SE works "bottom-up," meaning it starts with the body's sensations and uses them as a guide to help unravel holding patterns and other self protection responses associated with physical and emotional stress.

SE uses principles of titration (gradual exploration) and pendulation (navigating between states of tension and relaxation) to facilitate healing.

As a body-centered therapist my work with SE is integrated into massage, myofascial work, cranial sacral therapy and movement and breath practices to help clients navigate their bodies responses, facilitate nervous system regulation and increase somatic, body-mind awareness.

Early on in my career I began noticing that certain body issues went beyond the biomechanical, myofascial framework we typically work within. This holistic approach to treatment has been changing not only the way I practice, but my approach to my business, my yoga teaching and even to parenting and of course, my own healing journey.

Though I'm booked out for a while I'm opening my books to new clients looking to explore this work within the context of body-centered therapies.

Please reach out to me directly here or at sherryyounker.rmt@gmail.com if you're interested in booking!

Mondays at 7pm! A 75 minute class with plenty of time to flow and stretch and still get a nice long restorative savasana to prepare for sleep. This class has it all!

Join me for a 4 week somatic exploration which will combine a variety of somatic movement practices and a somatic oriented yoga practice. Soma is a greek word simply meaning body, but within this context it refers to our bodily intelligence, our Soma. You can think of this bodily intelligence almost as entity within us that is attuned to our best interests, that part of ourselves that has an inner knowing that "speaks up" through sensation, tension and movement patterns. Learning to tune in to our body intelligence through body oriented meditation practices, slow repetitive subtle movement and gentle yoga allows us to really slow down and listen.

This practice is mostly done on the floor, so while it's a gentle practice we will be on hands and knees and the ability to get up and down off the floor is required.

Wear warm comfortable clothing since this is a slow practice that does not build heat. Feel free to bring anything that makes you feel cozy and supported, but we have all the props you need.

$88+hst

I have a 4 week Somatics & Gentle Yoga series starting next Thursday at 6:30pm at Lokamotion on Main! This class will combine slow and mindful repetitive movements from Hanna Somatics and Yoga that gently help to unwind tension patterns in the body. Slowing down the movements and making them smaller gives the body the opportunity to really sense and feel the subtle tissue changes and allows us to really tune in to what is happening as we move.

This class is very gentle but the ability to get up and down off the floor is required and we will spend some time weight bearing on the wrists (think cat/ cow, rather than down dog).

I hope you can join me!
