NOT YOUR
TYPICAL
WORKOUT

Squat + Reset is a somatic strength experience that blends bodyweight and dumbbell strength training with nervous system recovery tools. We train hard, reset intentionally, and repeat so your body learns how to handle stress both in and out of the gym.

In this workout, you can expect strength supersets that may elevate your heart rate and fatigue your muscles.

That said, modifications are always provided (lighter weights, no weights, less range of motion, etc.) and participants are encouraged to move at their own pace. A core part of somatic fitness is learning to listen internally to what your body needs. You can slow down, modify, or pause at any time.

Most workouts train the body.

Squat + Reset trains the body and the nervous system.

In class, we intentionally move between strength based exercises and nervous system recovery (somatic movement). This teaches your body that it can experience stress without becoming overwhelmed. Over time, this builds resilience, helps you release what is no longer serving you, and supports you in stepping more fully into your joy.

You are not just building endurance. You are building embodied resilience.

Not exactly. Yoga often involves specific postures and longer holds that aim for alignment or flexibility. There is usually a clear external shape the body is meant to make.

Somatic movement is different. It is more intuitive and internally focused. There is no “perfect form” to achieve. The goal is not how the movement looks, but how it feels in your body.

In Squat + Reset, we combine strength training with somatic movement. That means you will lift weights and build muscular strength, and you will also use intuitive, body aware movement to release tension and build nervous system capacity.

You will sweat. You will move freely. You will reset.

Nope! You are beautiful as you are. All bodies are welcomed here. All movements are modifiable and scalable. You are encouraged to move at your own pace and honor your body. This develops resilience, self-trust and self-love.

Participants often leave feeling:

• Grounded and clear

• Energized but not wired

• Proud of themselves

• More confident and joyful

• More emotionally steady
  

You will also leave with a more regulated nervous system and lasting mental wellness tools that you can use during stressful moments in daily life.

Light to medium dumbbells are available. Movements are also bodyweight friendly.

No. Ivy is not a licensed therapist. She is a certified Somatic Coach and Fitness Trainer. This is a group movement experience that incorporates body based nervous system tools. It is not medical treatment or individualized therapy, but it can deeply support mental wellness.

In class, you will be guided to notice sensations in your body.

You may be invited to notice where you feel tension or stress. During strength sets, you may be invited to connect to power, openness, or groundedness. After strength sets, you will use somatic movement to release tension and settle your system.

We intentionally move between strength exercises and somatic movements so your body learns that it can experience stress and return to steadiness. This repetition builds resilience in real time.

There is no right or wrong way to feel. You are simply practicing awareness, which will support you in handling emotions outside of the gym.

After class, we will have time for reflection, light snacks and networking to build real community. At select events, a local wellness business will also be present with products or services available (at times for additional purchase) so participants can continue supporting their wellness journey outside the gym.
