Somatic Movement Class in the Twin Cities: Gentle Movement & Nervous System Rest
Somatic movement as a practice assists you in identifying where emotions are living in your physical body. Somatic techniques are effective at addressing buried emotions, chronic tension, and helping us learn to notice what we are experiencing.
In this one hour class, you will experience gentle movement, connection to your breath, and will learn how to invite the sensation of softening and rest into your mind and body. You will leave feeling your nervous system has received a loving embrace. This class is taught by Cadence Schueler (she/her), a registered yoga teacher based here in the Twin Cities.
You don’t need any experience to participate. About half of the class time will be delegated to movement while the other half will be focused on stillness and creating presence in the body.
Pre-registration required. This offering is intentionally sliding scale ($10-$30), making movement more accessible to our community. All are welcome, no prior experience is needed - simply come as you are.
Note: Please arrive a few minutes early to connect and settle in. Wear socks and comfortable clothing for gentle movement. We have yoga mats, blankets, and small knee bolsters available.
Accessibility: Modifications will be offered for those with movement restrictions. Masks will be available for attendees who desire them. If you have questions about the accessibility of this event for your specific circumstances, please contact us at info@constellationacu.com.
About the instructor:
Cadence Schueler is a Registered Yoga Teacher trained mainly in guiding meditation, Iyengar Asana, and Soma Yoga. She sees yoga as not only an incredible life-expanding ancient healing modality, but also a necessity for maintaining community in our isolated modern lives.
Cadence is deeply inspired by the opportunity to bring people closer to themselves and each other through group presence. She believes true healing is not a goal you achieve. It comes from the willingness to sit with what hurts, move with it, befriend it, and come back to it when it hurts again. Feeling a little bit lighter each time.
