Atha SomaYoga

04/14/2026

I'm back! Life is sometimes busier than expected, and that's been the case these past couple of weeks. I'm still excited to share WHY I'm making changes in how my brand is represented. Why the change from SomaYoga to Somatic Yoga Therapy? Because a majority of what I do is Somatics. Because people are hearing the word Somatics and are curious about it. Because Yoga Therapy is what I do (which is different and has different requirements than a yoga teacher.) Because it defines what I do better!

Somatics is teaching people Interoception - learning to sense and feel what's happening in our bodies, from the inside. How am I holding myself in space? What muscles are tight vs taught (shortened and contracted vs being stretched/pulled)? How am I breathing? It's a departure from what we do in most healthcare settings, and it's powerful. So, the full word, Somatics, in the name.

Yoga Therapy is a field that is still emerging, and still figuring out exactly what that looks like. In short, a Yoga Therapist goes through training that is 1000 hours. It includes deep study in ancient yogic maps, the 8 limbs (did you know there is more than just poses), Ayurveda, focusing the mind, breath practices, and my training included a deep dive into Somatics. A yoga teacher is certified at 200 hours. So, Yoga Therapy will be included in the name.

When I started Atha SomaYoga, it fit. Atha! The Time is Now! (That is the first sutra of yoga.... the time is always now to use the practices of yoga.) As time has passed, and I've shared this work with more and more people, it became clear that A) people didn't know what I did by the name, and B) my practice has evolved! I wasn't planning on doing a Rebranding, but as I moved into my new space and talked to more people, it seemed like the right time. So why ReForm?

ReForm Somatic Yoga Therapy is an integrative nervous system and structural recalibration practice, combining somatics, breath re-education, yoga therapy, and fascial work and other hands-on techniques, to create sustainable change from the inside out. You can literally ReForm yourself - your posture, your breath, your nervous system, your relationship to yourself and to others, with these tools. I wanted to say the word "Somatics" as people are beginning to hear this word, and it's a big part of what I do. Yoga Therapy, because that's the broad work that I do - all of this is housed under being a Certified Yoga Therapist.

You'll see me making slow changes..... I'm in no hurry. I do want to tell you the "why's" and what I do these days. It's exciting, and I hope you'll be along for the ride, and maybe even try it out, if you haven't yet.

“The world thinks we should stretch and force change,” Jackson said during the class. “Somatics means tuning in and sensing what you’re doing, and learning how to release your muscles.”

Somatic workout classes, characterized by minuscule clenches and releases, have exploded in popularity as an antidote to high-intensity exercise.

To quote one of my favorites, Florence Welch, "Ultimately, I found my voice by stopping the attempts to prove myself to the mainstream and embracing my own weirdness." (If you don't know who she is, that's ok, she doesn't mind.) The work of Somatics, Breath Re-education, even yoga, is weird to a lot of people. It was weird to me at first! And, they're extremely good tools for finding better balance, health, and wellness. So why rebrand at this time? Because something shifted in how I do and view this work. Because it feels right. Because this new brand fits.

The new brand is a work in progress, like I am, like we all are. It might feel too busy or too much, or weird. I couldn't do it without including all that's there. It might not be the colors that are "recommended" for a logo. They're my colors. It might feel unnecessary - I get it - it's a lot of work. It feels necessary, to define better what it is that I do with Somatic Yoga Therapy.

I'll be separating out pieces of the new logo in my next posts, so you can see all the pieces, or tools, in this work. Why the name ReForm? Why the infinity symbol? Why the person with their arms up? Why the Multi-Tool? Why the colors? Why the circle like it is?

For now, welcome to ReForm Somatic Yoga Therapy!

The Time is Now for a ReBranding...... here's a sneak peak!

Spring..... the hours of sunlight in the days is changing, the outside world is coming alive with the budding of the trees, plants popping up, seeing more animals and birds. It feels like the right time, after moving into a new space and re-examining what I do, to make a change. Spurred by a client who reframed things for me, by her explanation, and encouraged by others that making change shows progress and better show where you are, what you do. Follow along, if you want, in the next few days, as I bring in some freshness to Atha. The Time is still Now!
