Benefits of
Practice
Yoga and movement keep you
healthy because they integrate and balance
all body systems. Regular practice keeps
the body supple, stretches the spine,
strengthens muscles, enhances fluidity, and
massages and stimulates vital organs. All
practices include fluid breathing, by relaxing
into natural breathing rhythm you
allow muscles to soften and stretch, tension
to drain away...at the same time relaxing messages
are sent to the brain bringing about a bodymind
harmony that is our birthright, heightening
awareness and mindfulness in your practice on and
off the yoga mat. In a general sense, yoga
and movement are natural forms of stress relief,
as well as a transformative process to live a more
positive, healthful life. These practices
are excellent forms of preventive medicine
and will help keep you in shape and in touch with
your inner body for many many years! The
practice of Soma Yoga, Continuum Movement and all
forms of movement therapies at Soma Center are
beneficial to all bodies, all ages, all are
welcome. Please call the studio to see what
classes would be right for you! 732-777-YOGA

Adventures in
Continuum - Continuum is not an exercise technique,
it is an approach to apractice based on philosophy, a
deep respect and trust in our self-correcting, a
way of considering and appreciating life, and a milieu
for growth, development, creativity, and healing. Continuum’s teachings remind us
of our capacity for change, healing, creativity,
and innovation
through movement, sound, and breath. Continuum
explores movement and somatic education based on
intrinsic felt movements, rather than on imposed
exercises or prescribed routines. Continuum asks
participants to cultivate a refined degree of
attention, and to trust that there is a deep
wisdom that will guide the body to move in a way
that allows the expression of healing
forces. The focus of Continuum practice
ranges from engaging in breathing meditation, and
small, nearly invisible micro-movements, to large
wave-like motions and sometimes aerobic activity
using weights and a variety of other exercise
props and equipment. It’s not a technique that
defines Continuum, it is the spirit and context in
which it is done. Many of the movements in
Continuum are water-like, imitating the multitude
of water motions to evoke the fluid system within. Waving,
dripping, suspending, gushing, drifting, pouring
and spiraling affords our watery organism
opportunities to express its nature.The benifits
og Continuum
are; Increase in vitality,
health and healing,provides a spacious sense of
well-being, develops core strength and
flexible power,revitalizes bones, joints and
skeletal health, releases, relaxes,
realigns,heightens sensuality and
receptivity, awakens creativity, innovation
and play, facilitates
trust in one’s inherent body wisdom, deepens spiritual
connection, and provides a
safe environment for growth and renewal.
This class is open
to everyone, no experience
necessary.
