SOMATIC YOGA guided by
Saturday, April 25 | 4 - 5:30pm

A 90-minute experience designed to help soften, slow down, and feel more at ease in the body. A practice that invites you to sense and move the body from within - this offers a nervous system reset through slow, intentional movement done lying down and seated on your mat.

Somatics connects the brain-to-body to release deeply held tension and improve mobility, awareness, and ease. Through this mindful, intentional approach, we stimulate and thicken the prefrontal cortex - the part of the brain responsible for focus, concentration, awareness, and decision-making. This practice supports mental clarity and emotional regulation.

You’ll also be guided through a simple daily Cat Stretch routine you can begin to integrate into your own self-care rituals — a powerful way to create lasting change and resilience over time.

Expect a peaceful atmosphere, thoughtful guidance, and plenty of props and support. This class is fully adaptable and welcomes all bodies and levels of experience.

Let go of tension.
Unwind from within.
Come home to yourself.

🙏A Moment of Gratitude🙏

I always knew I wanted to have my own yoga studio. The minute I finished my teacher training, my goal was to teach as much as I could with the goal of having a space of my own someday. It was and is what brings me so much joy! It was just fate that I had the honor to take over the Breathing Room. The studio I fell in love with the minute I walked in the door.
It has been 5 years since making that jump and we have since expended into the Aerial Room as well. It has not always been easy and much like life and our practice it ebbs and flows, but it has always been a space that I find calmness & magic and I hope you find that too.
With an abundance of yoga studios to choose from I am grateful to our community & teachers who continue to show up and choose this space to practice and grow while you also support my dream. This space is for you. To meet new friends, reconnect with others, connect with yourself, and to let go.
Whether I have seen you in my classes, worked with you one on one or maybe we have yet to meet, I THANK YOU for following us, continuing to support me, The Breathing Room, and our wonderful teachers.
Please continue to join us, and carve out time for you! Our purpose is to make you feel welcomed and provide you with space to BREATHE!

✨Wishing you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving and holiday season✨

✨The Breathing Room is lucky to have YOU!✨

👉🏻Stay connected to learn how you can continue to support us by shopping small this season💖

Meet Jared

Jared has a Yin/Yang style of teaching. His sense of fun, challenge and humor shines in aerial classes while his meditative, contemplative side guides his yin yoga class. Jared first earned his Aikido Black Belt in 2015 after years of focused training. He felt the urge for more and yoga teacher training called. He completed his 200 Hour Yoga Certification with Boston School of Yoga/Terry Coburn and Ame Wren in 2016. Jared’s continuing education has included Yin Yoga (twice!) & Trauma Sensitive/All Bodies trainings with MUSE School of Yoga in 2017 and 2018. After teaching vinyasa and yin for a few years followed by a break during the pandemic, Jared re-ignited his yoga practice & skills with Aerial Yoga Teacher Training & Sound Practitioner training in 2022 & a second Yin Yoga Teacher training with Andrea Gleason/Southern Maine Yoga School in 2023.
Jared is an insurance professional during the business week, and on weekends he teaches Aerial Decompression, Yin Yoga for Men and offers sound baths with crystal bowls and percussion instruments, and helps train aerial yoga teachers here.

Meet Caren 🤸‍♂️
Caren has been practicing vinyasa and power yoga regularly since 2016, and started aerial yoga weekly in 2021 while living in Alexandria, Virginia. Upon moving to Maine in 2022, an aerial yoga studio was more important to locate than the Trader Joes! She was so excited to find Leaping Waters?Breathing Room and immediately joined the community as a regular. A year later, she took the opportunity to complete aerial teaching training with Robin and grow her experience further.
Yoga has taught Caren so much about her own body, how it moves (and doesn’t move) and what it’s capable of. Aerial takes this to new levels, literally, and adds an extra layer of fun as well. Caren’s favorite things to do in aerial are climbs and core work - but on harder days, there’s nothing like being gently held in the fabric and letting go of that muscle tension. Caren fosters a safe environment of playfulness and small challenges that get you out of your day-to-day headspace to leave you feeling both strong and refreshed. She’s the perfect teacher if you want some advancing moves and she crafts fun, themed classes during the holiday seasons.
