Discover the transformative power of practicing Somatic Yoga in this immersive workshop designed to help you reduce stress, lower cortisol levels, and manage weight naturally. Somatic Yoga combines gentle, mindful movement with breathwork and deep relaxation techniques to reconnect you with your body’s innate wisdom. Unlike traditional yoga practices, Somatic Yoga focuses on internal awareness and the release of chronic tension patterns, allowing you to experience profound physical and mental relaxation.

After more than 21 years working with subtle energy in Yoga, Chris has designed this workshop experience to assist in the understanding of movement of subtle energy through yogic breathing, simple somatic movements, Reiki, and sound frequencies to support participants in resetting the vagus nerve, reducing cortisol levels, and enhancing their overall ability to manage stress and weight. Through a blend of experiential practices and guided sessions, participants will explore how these modalities can led to a more joyful, playful life filled with ease.

Chris worked in the medical industry for 15 years as QMA & medical social worker. After escaping 3 years of domestic violence, she had a health crisis. She sought help through allopathic medicine for 8 years to no avail. After one year of practicing yoga, Chris finally found relief and has since dedicated her life to sharing the sacred healing art and science of Yoga with others, especially with those needing relief from symptoms associated with stress and trauma. Chris has been teaching yoga full time for the past 18 years focusing on creating and teaching nationally accredited yoga teacher trainings and therapeutic work both somatically and through nada yoga, the yoga of sound. She is most grateful to all her teachers and students she has been blessed to learn from over the years.
