A New Partnership…
Ease Yoga and Wellness was conceived to hold safe, accessible, welcoming practice space to ease suffering and support Self-realization.
Main Street Yoga Stoughton entered in support of the mission. And a new partnership began… read more below.
Ease is a living practice. A container to hold space for activities in alignment with the mission. I’m Suzanne Larsen and Ease is, in small part, a home to study and offer practicum classes and private sessions while completing the two-year, 1000-hour Yoga Therapy credential (C-IAYT) with Yoga North International SomaYoga Institute.
Like grad school for yoga therapy! While I have been teaching for over 20 years, I recently completed the 500-hour Yoga Alliance (YA) certification with Yoga North. It was challenging finding space to practice that was consistent, safe, quiet, accessible, welcoming and comfortable. This space came to be with the help of many in the community, and I am so grateful.
Main Street Yoga Stoughton is a non-profit branch of The Spiritual Life Society. Matt Lerner stepped forward in alignment with the mission of Ease, and in hopes of bringing the connected practices of Yoga to more Main Streets! We are closely affiliated with Main Street Yoga Center in Madison.
Thank you for visiting, and please check back frequently. More intriguing, fun, educational things will be unfolding in the space of Ease at Main Street Yoga Stoughton. I am excited to see how the space shifts and grows to better serve our community. We’d love to show you the newly remodeled space in the Old Stoughton Theater right on Main Street.
More Testimonials
Suzanne is a very inspirational yoga teacher.
She was a regular part of my healing journey as I recovered from some health issues. She hits the point home that what happens on your mat is what matters. She helped me learn to be in the present moment and move my body mindfully and with intention. Suzanne is an expert about making sure you get what you need at yoga and thatwherever you are at in your journey is just the right place. My hips, my back, my soul, my body, my mind felt some much more at peace when I practiced yoga regularly.
Part of the SomaYoga methodology asks people to sense and feel what is happening in their bodies to remember, re-connect, re-educate and release areas stuck in tension patterns. It is yoga from the inside out, updating the software so the hardware runs better. Once we clean up the dysfunctional stress patterns, we layer on all sorts of cool therapeutic mobility, stability and strength training - and yes, transformation starts with changing your mind. Try the SomaYoga method.
An Excellent Somatic Experience.
As a first responder working for 7 years in prehospital care I can validate the cumulative experience of PTSD, development of bad habits from lack of sleep, eating on the go, physical strain, and and unstable work/life balance. The first time I experienced somatic yoga with Suzanne I felt the significance of the practice and it’s positive effects with changes in my pain level and attention to areas of the body that had been neglected. I had been working in a high demand field but not replenishing my physical or energetic self. I was in full burn out.
Suzanne identified several ways to work through the layers of problems I was having with tight muscles, general pain, and what Suzanne calls Samskaras (habits of thought). Somatic yoga brings a new way of identifying problem areas in the body through restorative breath work and gentle yoga that works on the minor muscles that get overlooked when the larger muscles are affected by pain or injury from constant receptive moments. This works with the central nervous system to soothe through compassion and curiosity. With the use of these techniques Suzanne integrates physiology to repair and replenish both the body and the mind. This experience gives me many ways I can check in with myself and evaluate areas that might need restorative application.
