Contract and Expand Yoga Class

Everything in life pulses, and in this 60 minute class we will practice doing the same: tending our bodies to create healthy stress that then facilitates more ease and rest. Using fun flow and centering pauses, we create greater capacity for the contractions and expansions of life. Sommerville teaches about the functioning of the nervous system throughout class by inviting you to listen to the language of your body. Some experience with yoga is helpful but not essential.

Sommerville holds a 200 hour yoga teacher certification from the Asheville Yoga Center. Not only does she incorporate yoga sessions into the Aspen Roots retreats, but also various aspects of yoga into her individual counseling. The physical postures (asanas), breath work (pranayama), and meditation can all be resources for nervous system regulation and Somatic Experiencing work.

Yoga workshops and classes are offered in both Asheville, NC and Birmingham, AL along with the Rugged Renewal retreats. Details can be found on the Aspen Roots calendar. Private classes are also available by request. Contact us for more information or to schedule a private or small group class.
