LIKE THE SAYING GOES...
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
One gym should not do it all...but what if it had just the right connections that made it easy to navigate any health and wellness journey? The Den Somatics is a concoction of mindful-based movement and somatic modalities. We welcome coaches who specialize in primal movement, movement culture, mindful-based strength training, and mixed martial arts. Coaches at The Den care about what your mind and body need to grasp and retain basic mobility, flexibility, mindfulness, and resistance training techniques. We all connect with tools and resources that not only aid our health and wellness journey but yours as well.
