Welcome to Joy Somatics On-line! This intro was recorded April 2020 when I started recording videos during lockdowns. Joy Somatics videos are intended for home practice to support everyone during this uncertain and challenging time. These videos are ideal for those wanting to practice from home on their own. Feel free to use and share with family and friends who could benefit from them. We all could use more 'Joy' these days. You will find a combination of yoga, bodymind ballwork and SomaSensing Somatic Movement classes and Joy's tips for wellness during times like these. Guidelines & Cautions; - These are unedited, you get to experience me as I am with my students in classes. We are perfectly imperfect here and show up as we are. -Expect a variety of yoga, Bodymind Ballwork and movements from somatic movement modalities. Caution: Practice at your own risk, use your common sense and listen to your body. Rest when you need and skip things that don't feel right for you. Joy cannot be responsible for injuries. Consult your medical professional if you are uncertain if you should participate. Any recommendations or wellness tips are shared from her own experience and education. -Connect with me on social media (Facebook or Instagram @joysomatics), love to hear from you and your feedback is welcome. - Remember the highest purpose for these practices...they are not about touching our toes or doing acrobatics. These practices are meant to find and maintain our inner calm and resiliency and assist us in navigating life with skill, responding instead of reacting. So do what you can, find what feels good and enjoy your practice.
