9/1, 8, 15, 22, 29 >> SOMATICS series

SUNDAYS in SEPTEMBER, 4-515PM

join FYER (IG: @fyerlyon) to MOVE, CONNECT & HEAL in this weekly embodiment series happening every SUNDAY in september. each session will consist of a basic somatic practice sequence of body centering (which includes light movement), embodied skill development, and a short debrief to integrate our experience. 

somatic work or “Somatics”, is a branch of body work used to gently tend to chronic health conditions in the body like pain, stress & trauma. this liberatory practice is facilitated in an accessible way, as a community healing experience to foster a deep sense of connection to our body, dismantle oppression, and find harmony in the collective container we create. 

no personal trauma history’s or experiences will be shared, & no prior experience with Somatics or embodiment is necessary. all are welcome!

from FYER: "hi yall, i’m FyerLyon! i’m a healing arts practitioner & educator based in beautiful Altadena. for over ten years iv facilitated educational programs as a camp counselor, special ed counselor, art teacher, and open studio manager. in recent years, my work has shifted to include healing arts education, which iv studied for over seven years, emphasizing in trauma healing modalities the past four years. my current practice is a blend of somatic work & multimedia art, creating broadly accessible healing curriculum & facilitation that’s easy to understand. iv offered my healing practice for over a year, working with folks privately 1:1 & facilitating community based somatic programs with orgs throughout the greater los angeles area. when i’m not facilitating, i can be found in the mountains walking my dog Oliver, practicing yoga, and finding the best dress to wear out. i’m so excited to be apart of the practiceAltadena community, and i can’t wait to work with you.”
