Our Approach
Why We Created This Series
At Soma Yoga Institute, we created this free series for people who are curious about yoga on a deeper level — not just as exercise, but as something that can truly support your health, your nervous system, and your relationship with self.
We teach what we call therapeutic yoga — using yoga as a tool to support the whole person: the physical body, the nervous system, our emotions, and our lived experience.
"We adapt the practice to fit the person — not the other way around."
Cathryn Wilson — Director, Soma Yoga Institute
The Soma Approach
What Makes This Different
Anatomy-Informed & Science-Based
We look at how the body truly functions — so movement is safe, sustainable, and grounded in science.
Props as Tools, Not Shortcuts
Blocks, blankets, and bolsters create access and support — essential tools for every body.
Teacher as Facilitator
We move from instructors to facilitators — listening, observing, and creating conditions where healing unfolds.
Whole-Person Approach
We support the physical body, nervous system, emotions, and lived experience as one interconnected whole.
From Our Students
What Graduates Are Saying
"I came in thinking about asana — but I left with something entirely different. Yoga became a place of refuge, a practice of alignment not just in posture, but internally."
Bea
200-Hour Graduate
"Through this training, I didn't just grow as a yoga practitioner — I grew as a human. I feel more grounded, more aware, and more confident in myself and my teaching."
Zena
200-Hour Graduate
"I've never taken a training that covered such depth and range — from restorative and yin to anatomy, philosophy, and the subtle body."
