As a science-based and heart-centered exploration of movement, Gentle Somatic Yoga® is a mindful practice in which muscles are reprogrammed to dissolve stiffness and pain, dramatically increasing flexibility and improving strength and stability.
Through the therapeutic corrective exercises, called Somatic Movement Flows®, you are guided into an experience of peace and well-being.
The movements are designed for all ages and abilities. No previous experience of yoga is necessary.
These videos are an invaluable resource for anyone looking to heal their body and add a home practice to their routine, yoga teachers, movement educators, dance teachers, body workers and/or health care practitioners seeking to maximize their impact on their general as well as specialty populations.
Gentle Somatic Yoga is revolutionary in its ability to enhance quality of life and overall health. This gentle art of movement is ideal for those recovering from injuries, athletes who want to improve their performance, yoga beginners, Senior adults, and anyone who desires to move without pain or strain. Here is a partial listing of symptoms and conditions through which the practice of Gentle Somatic Yoga has helped to alleviate and/or eliminate:

Gentle Somatic Yoga was synthesized by James incorporating traditional yoga postures, Hanna Somatic Education, breathing techniques, and healing visualizations. This progressive method has been inspired by the work of somatic movement pioneers Eleanor Criswell Hanna, Thomas Hanna, Lawrence Gold, Moshe Feldenkrais, and important others.
It seamlessly blends meditation with slow, mindful movements that raise bodily awareness in order to erase tension-based patterns and habits of holding stress in the body.
