May is detox month at SOMM. This means getting conscious about what we consume (media, food, caffeine, other people's energy) and learning not just to let go, but also get intentional about what we put into our body-mind and also "digest" what we no longer need.

This day will have a balance of theory and education, with accessible practices suitable for all levels including fascia and muscle tension release, Yin yoga, functional breath-work, an intro to Qi Gong forms to support digestion, Yoga philosophy, meditation and sound work. A truly delicious and supportive day.

This workshop is included in weekly and monthly Full Access, SOMM 365 & Founding Memberships.Join us for an incredible day together, exploring practices that will support a mental, emotional and physical detoxification and the digestion process.
