140 Minute Somatics Class 2
There are two Somatics led practices listed and we highly recommend that you each explore these detailed and delicious led-practices, both of which can be experienced in durations of your choice if you are unable to dedicate the time for the complete practice. If you are able to give yourself the full duration I am very confident that you will receive immense benefit from both of these long class recordings. This is the second of the two.

Testimonials
Centro Santillan is a truly special place. I attended a long yoga weekend at the end of November which was a precious opportunity to regenerate through yoga, nature walks and delicious, healthy food, as well as soak up some winter sunshine. It was only 3 days, but I feel like I’ve had a week’s respite! Simon’s teaching was, as always, outstanding, and I met some lovely people over the weekend. I’ll be back.
I do love your classes. I’ve been resorting to ones on YouTube from random teachers over this pandemic but when I do your ones they bring out the best in me. Great to have your videos online now, really helpful.
The focus on safety first and the uniqueness of each individual body, was exceptional. After a year following the Yoga Academy’s alignment principles, longstanding physical conditions in my own body have improved. I finally understand how to take care of myself in asana and feel able to empower my students to do the same.
