Welcome

The Wildflower Way™ is a meditative movement method rooted in spiral somatics, rooted mechanics, and fascia-focused flow. It's about somatic sensing, gentle strength, and the wild joy of showing up fully in your body. Below is a living glossary of terms you'll hear in class, on social media, and within our community. Think of it not as vocabulary to memorize, but as a poetic map back to yourself.


Wildflower Language: The Glossary of Moving Meditation and Spiral Somatics

A Glossary of Our Movement Magic

🌬 Somatic Movement

Movement that begins with sensation, not aesthetics. We explore what the body feels, not just what it looks like. This is yoga guided by your nervous system, not a pose or a shape.

Benefits: Increases body awareness, soothes the nervous system, improves mobility, and helps release stored stress or emotion.

🕸 Fascial Slings

Connective tissue lines that weave through your body in diagonal spirals. They support your posture, guide your movement, and store so muchof your history ~ physical and emotional.

Benefits: When activated, these slings help you move with grace, power, and efficiency. Think: less effort, more ease.

🌊 Wildflower Wave

A spiral-based warm-up sequence used in every Wildflower class. Think fascia flossing: twisting, reaching, rocking, and spiraling to wake up your system.

Benefits: Improves hydration in your connective tissues, gently warms your joints, and builds a relationship between breath and motion.

🌀 Petal Spiral

A gentle, spiraling posture: one hand behind your neck, the other wrapped behind your lower back. Add a soft twist and some breath, and it becomes a moving meditation.

Benefits: Opens the front body, encourages spinal mobility, and supports emotional release.
