81 practiced yoga all my life, and just discovered something new! I love this! I feel wonderful. Thank you!
You're so welcome! I just found your message and I have a smile on my face. I'm so happy you find this practice helpful. James Knight
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
“Working my way out of survival mode” You took the words right out of my mouth! Here’s to healing 🫶
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/

Yes, you did use these same words in your comment as well! Please consider joining one of our upcoming livestream classes either on June 1st for the Somatic Wellness Workshop Deep Dive or on June 15th for restore and revitalize Somatic Sanctuary. 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.

Ok, I am in awe at how quickly I feel more relaxed and have more mobility. This is awesome. Thank you. Now let's see if I can get up off the floor 😂
You're welcome. :) I'm so happy to hear how you responded so quickly! James 💚
I am 7 minutes in and what just happened….. insane! My range of motion 😮😮😮😮 Genius!
It's wonderful to hear that you gained positive results in such a small amount of time! James
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

What a difference after just one session. The difference in sitting from the beginning to the end was recognizably different. Thank you!
AMAZING! I paid $5k for this type of physiotherapy last year. Thank you!!!!🙏🏻
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 TH-cam 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.

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 ❤
I'm so happy to hear that honored your body and modified the Somatic Movement Flows. 💚James
Thank you, James. You reminded me to love my body again. ❤
I'm so happy to hear this. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience! James
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
@@gentlesomaticyoga I just tried another one today. Also great! Will keep you posted :-)
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 🧡
It’s really helpful. It released my tension in my lower back and in my neck and shoulders. This yoga made my day! Huge thank you James❤
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
Finally - some yoga movements that are possible for me! Thank you very much.
I'm happy to hear that you found some relief! Thanks for your feedback and blessings on your path!
Lovely sequence to relieve stress and stiffness - and delivered so calmly and gently. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! We highly recommend making GSY a regular part of your movement routine weekly -- if not daily.

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?! 😅❤
Hello! I just found your message today and so delighted to hear that you found immediate benefits. Blessings, James Knight
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.

Thank you!! Literally pulling the trauma out one movement at a time. ❤
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
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 glad this is helping you! 🙏
This is a wonderful way to start my day. ❤ loved doing this with you this morning
I'm happy you found benefit. :) James 💛
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!
I do this practice regularly and it feels really good for a quick , short session
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 TH-cam and our longer videos on our subscription channel on our website. When you are ready to go deeper, join us!

I suffer from chronic pain in my neck and shoulders. I found this much gentler than any yoga❤
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.

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!
Hello. You are so welcome! And, thank you your kind feedback. I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the GSY practice. James💛
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
Wonderful practice ☮️💜🙏
Hi! I just saw your comment. Thank you for your feedback. I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the practice! James 💚
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:

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

Thank you!

I really liked your video, a feel good yoga, just concerned if it’s safe to do for osteopenia
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/
Why did it take me so long to visit somatic yoga man. It was awesome!

I have been doing yoga every day for a year and a half to help me with chronic pain. I just recently found somatic exercises and somatic yoga. I haven’t explored the other stuff offered by you because I didn’t realize you were on so many platforms. I’ll go look them up now
@@MistyWatkinsMSBSLPC I'm happy to you've discovered Somatic Yoga... and specifically Gentle Somatic Yoga. If you'd like a free 30-minute home practice to explore, and also get our newsletter that has a listing of our monthly virtual and live events, this might be a good way to get involved. Reach out if you have any questions or would like support on your path. James Knight

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.
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/
wow life changing
Wow! Thank you for this powerful comment. Can you please elaborate what resonated with you most and what brought you to the practice? We can help guide you in the right direction for your needs and goals if we know more of what aligned with you from this video and what you are looking for with your wellness routine.

Is their a somatic class for those of us with osteoporosis?
Hello! At this time we don't have a specific class, however you can modify all of our Somatic Movement Flows based on your needs. Have you participated in our monthly livestream Somatic Sanctuary's? We always make time for Q & A to help our students. somatic-sanctuary.securechkout.com/

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.

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.
