This is my second time doing this flow and my body LOVES it! I’m working my way out of survival mode and getting my body out of constantly being on high alert and this flow made me feel so good. This is how I will start my days! Thank you
Glad you are already intuitively giving yourself the cumulative benefits of this practice. Thank you for sharing your testimonial and the phrase "survival mode" as it is already resonating with others on this channel. If you are looking to release more pent up energy, hidden trauma and take this practice deeper, you might like to know that we have some GSY-inspired methods like Somatic Harmony on our subscription channel at Somatic Wellness TV and we have an upcoming event that is geared toward trauma release. Here is our upcoming event page and you can also navigate to Somatic Wellness TV in the upper corner of the website as well for a free week trial. www.gentlesomaticyoga.com/events/ ~In Service, The GSY Team
Yes, you did use these same words in your comment as well!

Both can be found on our events page in the link shared in the main comment above. We hope that you continue to have these powerful breakthroughs. ~In Service, The GSY Team
Wow! Are you saying that this video was able to deliver results as good as what you purchased through a long time physiotherapy protocol? If so, this is an extremely powerful testimonial and we are so grateful you shared your experience with us. What part of the body were you looking to get more mobility in? Other people here on RUclips might also learn from your firsthand experience. Thank you for taking the time to watch and to comment on this video so we know that it is finding the right people. ~ In service, the GSY Team
Thanks so much James. New to this and its helping me direct my attention in my body through the slowwe movement. What is the song playing in the background.i.like that style of Jazz for this
This is wonderful. I actually did these in the sofa as I’m 68 very stiff and can’t do floor. I feel wonderful. Going to keep going. Thank you so much ❤
This was my first time trying somatic yoga. Wow! Thank you! Your voice is so gentle and I think that is soothing and helpful. My neck range of motion probably quadrupled! I feel relaxed and present 🙂
Wow! This is such a powerful testimonial! Have you tried other videos as well? It would be great to hear an update from you with some regular practice. ~ In service, the GSY Team
Hi all- new to this (somatic yoga). In constant Fight or Flight mode (anxiety is through the roof). When would be the best time to do this/these exercises, please? Not sure if Somatic Yoga is best before bed? Any tips/help would be greatly appreciated ❤

After practicing yoga for decades (prior to 2020) I have spent the last 3-4 years in survival mode and, sadly, fell out of practice (and also put on quite a few pounds... ) I have only recently learned abt Somatic movements and came across your video this morning. What a difference these seemingly small movements made in only 20 minutes time… I feel incredible! Will def be using these movements daily to help get back in touch with my inner self. Namaste.
Wow! What a powerful testimonial already. Now that you have found us and have experienced some breakthroughs after years of feeling disconnected, imagine what can happen with continued practice. We are excited and eager to hear from you in a few weeks when you have spent more time with the movements. Please consider joining our Facebook Community as well -- there are opportunities to connect there with questions and feedback. You can join here: facebook.com/GentleSomaticYoga ~In Service, The GSY Team
It makes me smile to hear that this Somatic Movement Flow series gave you so much relief! 🧡And, you're welcome! It's my passion to share this method with others. :) James
It's great that you can feel that. In sanskrit they use the word kalapa to represent the smallest particle you can imagine. And, I'd like to think that somatic movement practices like GSY help dissolve trauma out of the tissues. 💜James
Glad you enjoyed it! We highly recommend making GSY a regular part of your movement routine weekly -- if not daily. Please check out more of these videos and playlists and let us know how you feel with more time and practice in the books. We are here to support you if you have any questions.

I’d forgotten how amazing this really is ❤recovering from a fractured wrist and recent/surgery so had to modify 😅but feel so relaxed and the feeling of well being is simply incredible ❤
Hi there. I'm just seeing your comment tonight. It's wonderful to receive your feedback and to hear how you have modified the practice. Big heart smiles! James 🧡
We are glad to hear that you found this practice to be accessible and applicable to your conditions. Living in chronic pain is challenging and can be stressful, which only adds to the discomfort. Have you practiced regularly to see the benefits? They are cumulative with time and consistency. Also, please consider looking into the specific Somatic Movement Flows for the areas of your body that are giving you the most feedback as we have body-specific videos that might help you more directly. Have you considered checking out our subscription channel that has all of our longer, more in-depth practices? You get a free week trial and can learn more here: www.gentlesomaticyoga.com/somatic-wellness-tv/ ~In service, The GSY Team
Out of some desperation 3 months post surgery, I have just tried this for the first time. Embarrassingly, at the beginning of this vid, I couldn't even fold my legs, thinking it was because of my weight gain. By the end of this, I folded my legs with ease, mind blowing!! What just happened?! 😅❤
You're so welcome! Knowing that these movements are supporting people inspires us to make more content and to enhance all of our livestream offerings. If you want to join us live, we have an event this weekend (and once a month) with a sliding scale. You can learn more about these workshops on our Somatic Sanctuary page below. We hope to see you there soon! somatic-sanctuary.securechkout.com/ ~In Service, the GSY team
Thank you for sharing! How long have you been doing this practice now? Have you looked around on this channel to see what else my resonate with you? We have shorter videos here on RUclips and our longer videos on our subscription channel on our website. When you are ready to go deeper, join us! www.gentlesomaticyoga.com/somatic-wellness-tv/ ~In Service, the GSY Team
Thank you very much James! First time after yoga my body truly feels relaxed as if I've had an intense long meditation session. The extra flexibility was also quite instantaneous which caught me by surprise.
Wow! That is a powerful thing to share -- both the testament to true relaxation through this method as well as your instantaneous results. Please keep us looped in to your continued exploration and the cumulative benefits and results you experience as you continue to practice. When you are ready for longer practices, we have 7 days free on our Somatic Wellness TV channel. Learn more here: www.gentlesomaticyoga.com/somatic-wellness-tv/ In Service, The GSY Team
I’m so excited about this! Thank you. I’m wondering: Would you say this would be better to do first thing in the morning? Or before bed at night. Those are the only two times of day I’m able to fit something like this in, and I’m wondering if it would keep me awake at night
Hi. First, I'm so happy to hear you found such great results. You ask a good question... You might explore trying this day and/or night. The benefit in the morning is that the Somatic Movement Flows can help prepare your muscles to move for the day... to give you more ease with movement. At night, this Gentle Somatic Yoga practice can help you release any tension you stored in your tissues during the day, and thus help you get a better night's sleep. :) Let me know how it goes. The benefits are cummulative and only practicing a few times a week is fine. 💚 James
Really really relieved I can learn to stop physically working out and causing even more problems than I already have I am 61 I want to do age appropriate excercises
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed practicing with this video. And, yes, these Somatic Movement Flows are designed to add modification so that your body can stay safe. For example, you might do less of a movement, or use a prop to stay comfortable. Here is link that may be helpful to review. Reach out anytime if you would like further support. 💚James www.gentlesomaticyoga.com/tips-and-guidelines-for-somatic-yoga/
Well, best somatic yoga video I found as I just discovered somatic yoga today when somebody posted their video on Facebook but they were not as great as you are. Thank you!
You're welcome 😊Thank you for taking the time to watch this video and let us know that it resonated with you! We hope to see you in our GSY community either via our Facebook page or in some of our monthly livestream workshops. All the details can be found on gentlesomaticyoga.com. ~ In service, the GSY Team
Great! That is a wonderful benefit from slowing down and getting centered within yourself through Gentle Somatic Yoga. Have you looked at out other videos yet? If relaxation is something you are looking for we have meditations with Avi Gordon and Nada Sound Yoga - Somatic Harmony - on our Somatic Wellness TV channel. Here are the details. www.gentlesomaticyoga.com/somatic-wellness-tv/ ~ In service, the GSY Team
You are very welcome! On behalf of the GSY team, it is a pleasure to welcome you to this community and we hope that you find more videos that resonate with you. In Service, The GSY Team
Glad it was helpful! We look forward to hearing more about your journey with this practice and how we can be part of your Somatic Wellness lifestyle. Circle around with us after you have explored more of the videos and Somatic Movement Flows that resonate with your needs. Have a great weekend. ~In Service, The GSY Team
We are so happy that you did find us and hope that you take full advantage of this entire channel of content as there are many different Somatic Movement Flows to explore. If you are interested in going even deeper, our Somatic Wellness TV channel features longer videos of our livestream workshops spanning over all the various modalities within GSY. You can learn more about that here -- and start with a free week! www.gentlesomaticyoga.com/somatic-wellness-tv/ In Service, The GSY Team
Thank you for watching this video and for taking the time to inquire more about the benefits of GSY. In short, this style of yoga is quite adaptable to individual's needs and also inherently more gentle on the body for people who have had injuries or deal with chronic issues and limited mobility. We encourage people to watch the Somatic Movement Flows first, then to practice them when they understand the movement so that they can adapt within their range of motion. Booking a virtual session with me is a great way to ensure that we cover the adaptations that will best serve individual issues. You can learn more about that here: session-with-james.securechkout.com/ Also, in our monthly livestream Somatic Sanctuary events, there is a Q&A section that allows people to ask more customized questions and we often share insight for modifications in this part of the workshop. Our Somatic Chair workshops may be the best place to start for hip and knee considerations. www.gentlesomaticyoga.com/events/
It's great to know that you have yourself permission to release that energy through your body. Great integration and to bring more space to your soma! 💚 James

Hell lot of trauma out of my body 🎉 increased range of motion....fibromayalgia reduced...digestive issues resolved..... brain fog improved....energy level improved.....😢 thankyou
Wow! What a powerful testimonial! Thank you for sharing and elaborating on your symptoms and considerations and how this practice has positively affected your range of motion, fibromayalgia, digestive issues, brain fog, and energy -- that is a pretty impressive list of things that have improved. Have you continued to explore our other videos? We would love to know how continued practice plays a roll in your self-care routine. In Service, The GSY Team
First hard to do with chronic pain and secondly the last segment was confusing especially laying down trying to see it. I’m more frustrated with myself than anything.
HI Elaine, thanks again for your honest and vulnerable comments. I just responded to better support you on another video comment you left and would love to be of service to you in finding videos that align more with your needs based on your condition. Please email me directly at customercare@gentlesomaticyoga.com so that I can help guide you toward videos that will be more accessible with your current conditions and considerations. I am looking forward to hearing from you. ~In Service, Meesha, Global Operations

i've just discovered somatic yoga and it's blowing my mind. I loved your practice so much. Thank you! I wish you were in Colorado and I could take a class. Thank you for what you're doing for our world.
Hi! I just discovered your message today. Thank you for your appreciation and feedback. I'm so happy to hear that you are enjoying the practice. :) What part of Colorado do you live in? I have a newly certified GSY teacher who lives in Denver and will be teaching an in-person workshop soon. James
Wow! This is a power testimonial about the benefits of a long term practice. How often are you practicing when you are in your routine? Do you mostly use this flow? How can we support you getting back into your practice? Thanks for taking the time to let us know that GSY works for you overall. ~in Service, The GSY Team
This was awesome. Thank you kindly for creating this and sharing it with the world. I'd love to know if you'd be open to other background music. I found the smooth jazz a little distracting and didn't connect completely with your tone and energy. Musician/Composer here :) Happy to create something for you if you ever need.
Thank you for your time and supportive input while watching this video and leaving a comment. I will pass the feedback along to James directly and will let him know about your offer. We have videos that focus on movement and instruction first, ambience and music secondarily. That being said, I know that James loves music and art, so maybe someday we will add that as another component to the videos. ~ In service, the GSY Team
I find all music in viddeos to many times be distractive in videos for movements, thats not why istr of us listen and can be distraction. Thank you for sharing the movement.
Thank you for your feedback! Curious now that you have had some time with the practice, how it has affected your body? Were you able to make it a daily practice? Do you need support in this area? We have various ways in which we can be here for accountability and community support -- through our FB community page, our livestream workshops monthly, and even our Somatic Wellness TV subscription that offers new content regularly.

This was my first time doing a somatic yoga class. A couple hours later I was feeling my side muscles! 👍🏻👍🏻💕
I'm so happy to hear you found benefit and enjoyed the class!
Wonderful practice ☮️💜🙏
Hi! I just saw your comment. Thank you for your feedback. I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the practice! James 💚
I feel relaxed
Great! That is a wonderful benefit from slowing down and getting centered within yourself through Gentle Somatic Yoga. Have you looked at out other videos yet? If relaxation is something you are looking for we have meditations with Avi Gordon and Nada Sound Yoga - Somatic Harmony - on our Somatic Wellness TV channel. Here are the details. www.gentlesomaticyoga.com/somatic-wellness-tv/

loved it!! thank you so much 🙏
It always fuels me to hear positive feedback. You are so welcome! James 💛
Why did it take me so long to visit somatic yoga man. It was awesome!
We are so happy that you did find us and hope that you take full advantage of this entire channel of content as there are many different Somatic Movement Flows to explore. If you are interested in going even deeper, our Somatic Wellness TV channel features longer videos of our livestream workshops spanning over all the various modalities within GSY. You can learn more about that here -- and start with a free week!

also would like to know if this can help elderly parents who have had knees and hip surgeries
Thank you for watching this video and for taking the time to inquire more about the benefits of GSY. In short, this style of yoga is quite adaptable to individual's needs and also inherently more gentle on the body for people who have had injuries or deal with chronic issues and limited mobility. We encourage people to watch the Somatic Movement Flows first, then to practice them when they understand the movement so that they can adapt within their range of motion. Booking a virtual session with me is a great way to ensure that we cover the adaptations that will best serve individual issues. You can learn more about that here: session-with-james.securechkout.com/
Also, in our monthly livestream Somatic Sanctuary events, there is a Q&A section that allows people to ask more customized questions and we often share insight for modifications in this part of the workshop. Our Somatic Chair workshops may be the best place to start for hip and knee considerations. www.gentlesomaticyoga.com/events/
My first time, I just cried my eyes out
It's great to know that you have yourself permission to release that energy through your body. Great integration and to bring more space to your soma! 💚 James
Wonderful thank you.
🙏
Thanks for sharing this. Love being able to add these practices in my yoga classes.
Hi Steven. Nice to hear from you and how you've integrated GSY into your yoga classes! Thanks for reaching out. :)
This was exactly what my body needed! Thank you so much!

Hell lot of trauma out of my body 🎉 increased range of motion....fibromayalgia reduced...digestive issues resolved..... brain fog improved....energy level improved.....😢 thankyou
Wow! What a powerful testimonial! Thank you for sharing and elaborating on your symptoms and considerations and how this practice has positively affected your range of motion, fibromayalgia, digestive issues, brain fog, and energy -- that is a pretty impressive list of things that have improved. Have you continued to explore our other videos? We would love to know how continued practice plays a roll in your self-care routine.

First hard to do with chronic pain and secondly the last segment was confusing especially laying down trying to see it. I’m more frustrated with myself than anything.
HI Elaine, thanks again for your honest and vulnerable comments. I just responded to better support you on another video comment you left and would love to be of service to you in finding videos that align more with your needs based on your condition.
Please email me directly at customercare@gentlesomaticyoga.com so that I can help guide you toward videos that will be more accessible with your current conditions and considerations. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Glad you are enjoying the practice. And, you are welcome. :) James
i've just discovered somatic yoga and it's blowing my mind. I loved your practice so much. Thank you! I wish you were in Colorado and I could take a class. Thank you for what you're doing for our world.
Hi! I just discovered your message today. Thank you for your appreciation and feedback. I'm so happy to hear that you are enjoying the practice. :) What part of Colorado do you live in? I have a newly certified GSY teacher who lives in Denver and will be teaching an in-person workshop soon. James
Monique Arnaud-Derouen is in Colorado she does this type of yoga
Thank you!

I went a week without somatic yoga and it didn’t go well
Wow! This is a power testimonial about the benefits of a long term practice. How often are you practicing when you are in your routine? Do you mostly use this flow? How can we support you getting back into your practice? Thanks for taking the time to let us know that GSY works for you overall.

This was awesome. Thank you kindly for creating this and sharing it with the world. I'd love to know if you'd be open to other background music. I found the smooth jazz a little distracting and didn't connect completely with your tone and energy. Musician/Composer here :) Happy to create something for you if you ever need.
Thank you for your time and supportive input while watching this video and leaving a comment. I will pass the feedback along to James directly and will let him know about your offer. We have videos that focus on movement and instruction first, ambience and music secondarily. That being said, I know that James loves music and art, so maybe someday we will add that as another component to the videos.
~ In service, the GSY Team
I find all music in viddeos to many times be distractive in videos for movements, thats not why istr of us listen and can be distraction.
Thank you for sharing the movement.
That was wonderful!! I had no idea that would help me so much. Thank you thank you!
Thank you for your feedback! Curious now that you have had some time with the practice, how it has affected your body? Were you able to make it a daily practice? Do you need support in this area? We have various ways in which we can be here for accountability and community support -- through our FB community page, our livestream workshops monthly, and even our Somatic Wellness TV subscription that offers new content regularly. Let us know how we can help you achieve your goals. We are happy to have you here in this RUclips community with us. Learn how to stay connected with us here: www.gentlesomaticyoga.com/
