Pursoma - Sensory Immersion Session
Healing Yoga
Fridays, 9a-9:45a
Offered by Natasha of Pursoma Self Care
Inspired by Pratyahara
Step into a realm of heightened awareness and inner connection with Pursoma’s "Sensory Immersion Sessions" yoga class. Details and scheduling here.
Rooted in the essence of yoga's fifth limb, Pratyahara, or the withdrawal of the senses, this unique experience invites you to explore the depths of your senses and inner wisdom.
Begin with a grounding meditation, flowing seamlessly into gentle movement accessible for beginners and anyone working through mobility issues.
As the journey unfolds, immerse yourself deeper by embracing the silence with earplugs and darkness with eye masks, allowing your focus to turn inward. Conclude in a state of profound relaxation during savasana, followed by a brief gratitude meditation to seal the practice.
Tune in to the language of the body, rediscover your inner voice and buried wisdom, and embrace the journey of self-rediscovery as we tune out the external world.
It's not a workout; it's a work in.
What to expect- a slow flow vinyasa with modifications and prop use infused with somatic exercises. It is gentle and easy on the body. We add the use of ear plugs and then eye masks (once we are comfortable during the session to withdraw from the external distractions.
What to bring- If you have your own mat, blanket, or any preferred props, feel free to bring them along to enhance your experience. While we do provide a limited quantity of mats and props, having your own ensures your comfort and convenience. Additionally, we recommend bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the session.

Yoga Instructors at The Fifth Om
Mel Walbridge
My passion for movement developed at a young age and evolved through a range of athletic pursuits. After finishing my college volleyball career with a National Championship and All-American honors, I found myself with intense and unrelenting back pain. I originally came to yoga as a means to heal my body; I ended up just as inspired by the emotional practice as the physical one. For the first time, I was able to listen to my body in a way that nurtured it, rather than demanded something from it.
I’m originally from San Francisco and after ten years of practice in studios across the country, I completed my 200hr training with Kula Yoga in New York City. Since then, I’ve continued my studies with Nikki Vilella (Kula/Vinyasa Flow), Nevine Michaan (Katonah Yoga), and Tom Meyers (Anatomy Trains). In 2023, I completed my Katonah Yoga certification.
My teaching, like my creative pursuits, is informed by a multidimensional range of influences. I studied psychology for several years, which stokes my interest in the subtle body and how yogic practices can cultivate emotional resilience and inner connection. My background in athletics runs parallel to a deep appreciation for art and the creative process, reflecting the balance of action and introspection that grounds my classes.
In my classes, I create a calm yet focused container for your personal practice. I often incorporate an athletic flow and dynamic breath as a means to access a more subtle, internal awakening. Presenting tools for you to land and find presence, I offer classes in a range of styles and durations, but always with an air of lightness and joy. To me, yoga is a tool for deeper embodiment, both physically and emotionally.
See you in class!
