Crossing the Threshold:

A Somatic Foundations Immersion

A 10a–2p experiential day to begin the journey inward.

Step into a half‑day immersion designed to feel enjoyable, grounding, stress‑reducing, and gently transformative. Crossing the Threshold is the experiential beginning of our Yoga Teacher Training — yet fully open to anyone curious about somatic practice, nervous‑system awareness, and embodied presence.

This day blends gentle movement, simple somatic tools, light relational practices, and guided reflection to help you reconnect with your body in a way that feels supportive and easeful. You’ll explore the foundational principles that shape our lineage: sensing, orienting, attuning, receiving, and being with what arises — all in a trauma‑aware, invitational environment.

You’ll leave feeling more regulated, connected, and steady — with practical tools you can use right away.

Come as you are. Step into what’s next.

What You’ll Experience

• Gentle somatic movement Slow, enjoyable movements that help you feel good in your body, reduce stress, and awaken inner listening.

A Quote for the Day

“A threshold is not a place you pass through once — it’s a place you learn to inhabit.”
