Slow Flow brings together the practices of flow yoga, somatics and yin. Class is a deep slow flow to beautiful music, where we take time to listen, feel and be with full awareness of movement, breath and pause. Somatic Flow Yoga supports embodied awareness through deeply experiencing each body system (skeleton, muscles, organs, fluids, etc) and re-exploring early movement patterns from our infancy. These explorations are placed within a framework of familiar yoga asana to facilitate a moving meditation and creating a deep connection between mind, body and movement. Classes are fluid, flowing and creative. We build up to moments of strength before ending in deep rest. Alignment is used as a way to increase body awareness and feeling is always prioritised over form. Somatic Flow classes are not spaces of perfection, but rather of deep listening. I draw on my training and experience as a therapist specialising in trauma while facilitating - while classes are not therapy, somatic yoga can be deeply holding and therapeutic.
