Please see a small class description as well as some links for further information! ⤵️⤵️

Somatics was founded by Thomas Hanna. He was a yoga teacher who saw many students plateau or give up yoga due to chronically held muscle tension and pain. He created a series of small, subtle movements which may usher the soma [body] to release chronically held muscle tension and pain. Somatic movements blended with yoga is a unique practice allowing the soma feel SAFE which may open pathways for new ways of being and patterning as those tensions and traumas are let go.

The class focuses on breath awareness and subtle movements improving self-awareness and overall function of the muscles, joints and our nervous system. SomaYoga is a great way to learn how to balance effort and ease all while learning how to rest and restore our often tired somas. Skills learned in SomaYoga may help the demands of everyday living to high level performance.

This class is appropriate for all levels and no prior yoga experience is needed. Come join a class to see and feel how great it is to be in your soma!

Meet Kara!!

She is the incredible force behind our Wednesdays 6p Hot Flow!!!! We are so grateful she brings her experience & quality of style to class & our studio community!!!

A note from Kara:

I am a lawyer by day and a yogi all the time! I live in Urbandale with my husband of over 30 years. We have a 25-year old son who lives in Ohio. My husband purchased my first month of yoga classes (at this very location) for me as a gift, and from my first class, I was all in. I have always enjoyed fitness, specifically running, but yoga provides me an escape from competition and the stress of work. Yoga has taught me to let go, to respond rather than to react, and to breathe, which has carried over into my personal life and work life. When I’m not practicing law or practicing yoga, I enjoy running, crosswords, audiobooks, and fixing things around the house.

I look forward to guiding you toward greater strength, flexibility, and inner peace.

RAGBRAI 2024 was an epic year!! Congrats & Welcome Home to all the cyclists!!! 🚵‍♀️🚵‍♀️🚵‍♀️🙌✨️
