All ages and abilities are welcome.

James Knight, CHSE, E-RYT (Experienced-Registered Yoga Teacher) took his first yoga class (Somatic Yoga!) at Sonoma State University from Eleanor Criswell in the early 1990s. From that day on, he was hooked and took Eleanor’s suggestion to become a bodyworker, yoga teacher and certified Hanna Somatic Educator (Wave 3). For over 25 years, James Knight has been an Integrative Therapist and Yoga teacher. Today, he travels the world teaching Gentle Somatic Yoga retreats and trainings (retreats & workshops in 8 countries in 2016). For more information visit his website and/or his YouTube Station.
