ANCIENT WISDOM TO HELP YOU WITH MODERN LIFE

• #1 Dāna (दान): generosity, charity, sharing with others
• #2 Āstikya (आस्तिक्य): faith, conviction
• #3: Hrī (ह्री): acceptance of your past, modesty, humility
• #4: Mati (मति): capacity to understand, reconcile conflicting ideas
• #5: Vrata (व्रत): making and keeping your vows (resolutions)

SOMATIC YOGA TO RESTORE & CALM YOUR BODY & MIND

Soma is a greek word, which means your body. Somatic Yoga is a practice that incorporates meditation, pranayama (breath techniques) and asana (practice of poses) from traditional Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga and Dr. Thomas Hanna's Somatic Movement exercises to help you to:

• Feel relaxed and free in your body and mind
• Cultivate comfort, trust and security within you
• Meditate so you feel more calm, think more clearly.

The practice is slow, gentle and suitable for all levels, including complete beginners.

Every dollar helps ensure I can continue to support you with high-quality yoga education. However, money should never be the reason stopping you from joining this program. If you are in genuine hardship please email wenlin@wenlintan.com with your request for access to this program.

I am a beginner, can I join in?

Yes! Classes are all levels with options for beginners.

I can't join at the livestream time.

No problem! You receive a video recording of every class!

I don't have a yoga mat, or yoga blocks. Can I still join in?

Yes! All you need is a padded surface such as a carpetted floor or non-slip towel to practise on. If you don't have yoga blocks, toilet rolls do just fine!

I can't afford this as I lost my job :(
