The smallest moments can create the biggest shifts.
In Soma Yoga, we move at the pace of awareness — slow enough to feel, soft enough to listen, present enough to heal. 🌿
Join me on the mat this weekend and see what your body wants to say when you finally give it time to speak. I’ll be under the fall sky for Yoga on the Lawn this Saturday at 10 AM.
You’ll leave feeling grounded, open, and ready to step into your weekend with ease.

In our practice this month, we’re exploring gratitude through the lens of the nervous system. Learning to notice the glimmers: those tiny moments of warmth, safety, or joy that remind your body you’re okay. 🌿

When we begin to recognize these glimmers, our brain and nervous system start to rewire. Shifting from a constant state of alert or protection into one that can truly receive safety and rest. This is how healing begins, and each class this month will weave together movement, breath, and somatic awareness to help you find presence, peace, and gratitude for your body.

Join me on the mat this November as we practice Gratitude. ✨

Gentle Soma Yoga at Blossom Yoga
Mondays & Wednesdays | 11:45 AM
📍 334 W Main St, Fredericksburg, TX

Gentle Soma Yoga is a slow, mindful practice designed to help you reconnect with your body, release stored tension, and build awareness from the inside out. Through small, intentional movements and somatic awareness, we’ll explore how to move in ways that feel supportive, grounded, and kind to your nervous system. 🌿

This mid-day class is the perfect reset — a moment to soften, breathe deeply, and restore your sense of calm amidst the busyness of life. Whether you’re new to yoga or looking for a more restorative experience, you’ll feel at home here.

I’m so grateful to be teaching in the beautifully expanded Blossom Yoga Studio, now offering new amenities and holistic wellness services.🌸 Check them out at

Here is where I will be this week as we continue our journey of Gratitude: Noticing the Glimmers — slowing down, breathing deeply, and creating space to notice the moments of comfort and ease that remind our bodies we’re safe. 💛

As the holidays approach, life often speeds up — our to-do lists grow, our routines shift, and our nervous systems can easily slip into overdrive.

Soma Yoga invites you to pause.
To slow your breath.
To remember what it feels like to be in your body again. 🌿

Join me on the mat for gentle movement, nervous system nourishment, and mindful grounding throughout the week. Link in bio to sign up - alisonpoundsyoga.com

Costa Rica was a beautiful pause from my everyday routine, and a wonderful reminder of the impact nature has on the nervous system. The sound of waves, the rhythm of breath, the simplicity of just being in nature, all of it felt like yoga.
Sometimes all the body needs is space. Space to breathe, to slow down, to remember what ease feels like.
Now, as I return to the mat, I’m so excited to carry that same softness back into my practice, and share all the wonderfully beautiful views. (That I still can’t get over 💕)
