THE DEN TEAM & AFFILIATIONS

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. Any affiliations you see in our slides below are trusted partnerships and are in alignment of The Den values, vision, and mission. We are many things at The Den, but our bottom line is, we believe cultivating a resourceful and acceptance based community will inspire individuals to feel supported, challenged, and empowered to step into their full potential.

If you have any questions about our Coaches or Affiliated Partners, please do not hesitate to reach out!

COACH REN

Ren gravitated towards the Steel Mace with the intention of unwinding. This unconventional centuries old tool and reflective resource can offer an expansive experience with mind and body - an experience that can only be felt through action and patience.

Ren learned the art of steel mace through Leo Savage who has a deep philosophical relationship with the Steel Mace. This art is alive in the 21st century and is primarily used as an unconventional strength and mobility tool in the western world. In Eastern practice, the Steel Mace is the Gada (mudgar) - a symbol of courage, strength, and self-discipline held by the Hindu God Hanuman. Indian wrestlers still use a bamboo stick and stone block to strength train, build grip strength and shoulder endurance.

If there is anything to learn from the Steel Mace / the Gada it is to unveil creative movement and inner strength.

Ren offers weekly Steel Mace classes and 1:1 Strength Training coaching.
