Movement with Kintsugi Wellness

Settle into stillness and let your body remember what it feels like to move with intention. Our sōma practice invites you to experience movement as more than poses - it is a way of coming alive to where you are in your body.

The word sōma comes from the ancient Greek meaning "the living body" - not just the physical form, but the felt body, the inner experience of being alive. In this practice, movement becomes a conversation with yourself, guided by sensation, intuition, and awareness.

A Practice of Union

In this gentle, grounding practice, we move slowly, allowing space to feel, to listen, and to reconnect. Soft lighting, steady breath, and mindful motion create a sense of calm that lingers long after you leave the mat.

Sōma practice at Kintsugi Wellness is about presence, not perfection or the poses. It is about arriving - arriving in your breath, your body, and the quiet spaces between each movement. Through awareness and flow, we awaken a deeper sense of connection, restoring harmony, ease, and belonging within.

How Somatic Yoga Works

More than movement, soma practice brings the body into harmony. Through breath, gentle stretching, supportive touch, and meditation, you are invited into deeper presence, grounding, and inner healing. Elements like aromatherapy and sound healing may flow into the session to soothe the senses and deepen the journey.

Physical Healing Enhancement

Gentle movements and poses help improve flexibility, strength, and balance while reducing chronic pain and tension throughout the body.

Mental Clarity & Focus

Mindful breathing and meditation practices enhance focus, reduce anxiety, and promote mental clarity and emotional stability.

Natural Stress Relief

Regular practice activates the parasympathetic nervous system, naturally reducing stress hormones and promoting deep relaxation.
