Breath & Body is a somatic fitness class that brings breath, movement, and the nervous system together — so your body can move with more ease, strength, and coordination.
Instead of pushing harder, you’ll learn how to:
• Release unnecessary tension
• Build strength without fatigue
• Move in a way that supports real life
• Feel more at home in your body
This class is gentle, intelligent, and deeply grounding — designed for beginners and experienced movers alike.

Join us for the upcoming Breath & Body Somatic Fitness class online or in-person.

Happy New Year ✨

In 2026, I’ll be offering Breath & Body: Somatic Fitness both in Durham and online. https://www.jiyu.us/breath-and-body

In-person sessions (Mondays at 6:30pm) will focus on moving in relationship to our environment—how we adapt, respond, and find ease within real-world conditions.

Online sessions (Tuesdays at 6:30pm) will go deeper into the details of breath and healing movement, tailored to the specific needs of the participants.

If there’s one thread you can pull to improve nearly every aspect of your life, it’s breathing.

Where my work differs from most is its pragmatism and integration—not aesthetics or blind faith in any system. What works, works. A truly holistic approach. The goal isn’t to master a method, but to find balance in health, build autonomy, and learn how to learn. I don’t separate mind/body/spirit or internal/external— it’s all one integrated system. Nothing exists in a vacuum.

When you’re healthy and in balance, you can learn anything—and handle whatever life brings.

Inspired by a lifetime of experience in martial arts, yoga, and bodywork.

🌿 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐉𝐈𝐘Ú — 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡, 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠
Craniosacral Therapy is a deeply relaxing, hands-on bodywork technique that uses light, intentional touch to release tension around your central nervous system — the system that governs how your whole body feels, moves, and responds to stress.
This subtle yet powerful approach can help with:
• Headaches, migraines & neck tension
• Chronic pain & stress
• Sleep challenges & fatigue
• Emotional tension & trauma patterns
• Nervous system dysregulation
• TMJ and connective-tissue discomfort
…and more.
Rather than forcing change, CST encourages your body’s innate ability to heal itself — easing restrictions, improving function, and supporting long-term well-being.
✨ Sessions are gentle, non-invasive, and frequently described as deeply restorative.
✨ Ideal for anyone seeking relief beyond the surface level.
✨ Perfect complement to ongoing movement or bodywork practices.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠
Before we stood upright…
we learned to move on the ground.
Quadrupedal movement (hands + knees or feet) helps the body rediscover patterns of strength, coordination, and ease that many of us have lost.
This kind of movement:
• Builds core strength without bracing
• Improves shoulder and hip mobility
• Reconnects cross-body coordination
• Reduces unnecessary tension
• Supports nervous system regulation
• Makes movement feel lighter and more fluid
It’s not about crawling harder.
It’s about moving smarter.
When we return to the ground, the body remembers how to organize itself with less effort — and more stability.
That’s why quadrupedal work is a core part of Breath & Body.
It rebuilds strength from the inside out and carries directly into how you walk, lift, and move through daily life.
If standing movement feels heavy or tense, the ground might be the place to begin.
