R E P O S E - A Somatic Workshop for Rest & Recovery

REPOSE is a somatic workshop dedicated to rest and recovery. The practice creates space to unbrace the body and access inner attunement.

Designed especially for those with a tendency to “push through” exercise and daily routines, this two-hour experiential workshop combines functional breathing, restorative movement, and conscious rest to move energy and release tension. Participants will also learn integration strategies for their daily wellness routine.

REPOSE may resonate if:

• You notice your body holding tension or bracing throughout the day.
• You find it difficult to truly rest without feeling like you should be doing something.
• Your relationship with exercise has long been defined by effort, intensity, or pushing through, and you’re curious about exploring a different relationship with movement.
• You're interested in learning more about balancing your wellness routine with practical and sustainable recovery tools.

What is Somatics?

Somatics is the practice of tuning into your body from the inside out. It's about noticing sensation, tension, breath, and movement in real time, and allowing that internal awareness to inform how you move, rest, and live.

Workshop Flow

Breath is the foundation of REPOSE.

• Explore your individual breathing patterns and the mechanics of breathing without intensive or activating techniques.

• Build on functional breathing through restorative movement, including gentle stretching, mobility, and myofascial release.

• Create space for conscious rest and deeper inner attunement with time dedicated for written and shared reflection.

In its Fullest Expression... REPOSE explores the relationship between physiological rest and deeper remembrance, honoring the wisdom of the body that has been present all along.

About Your Host, Donna Cennamano

Hello, I'm Donna, founder of Via Sophia, a somatic practice dedicated to embodiment and self-inquiry.

For over 20 years, I worked as an instructor and education leader for global fitness brands. High-intensity wasn't just my exercise of choice, but a way of life, until I hit a point where sleep itself no longer felt like enough to recover. That collapse became a doorway, and I've spent years studying functional breathing, restorative movement, and conscious rest. These practices not only helped me become a better teacher, but also provided a path back to a wisdom that had long been buried beneath exhaustion.

REPOSE is the workshop I needed and couldn't find, so I created it as a devotion. I invite you into a space dedicated to rest, recovery, and a different way of relating to your body.
