introducing the Speaker

Will Thomas

Will is a longtime yoga teacher and studio owner based in Florida. A yoga injury at 47 pushed him to build a simpler system — one that improves flexibility, strength, and confidence without requiring any prior yoga knowledge. Ten years later, he's turned that system into Somatic Relief Yoga: talks, workshops, and on-demand practices for people who want to move, breathe, and recover better.

He's spent over 10,000 hours teaching and practicing, holds an MBA from the University of Virginia, and has spoken professionally for 17 years across health, wellness, and corporate audiences.

THE ORIGIN

The injury that became the method

At 47, a yoga injury inspired longtime teacher and studio owner Will Thomas to develop a simple system to improve flexibility and strength — without requiring advanced yoga knowledge.

Now 56, he engages audiences who want to regain their flexibility, strength, and mind-body connection so they can do the physical things in life they want to do: improve the golf swing, ease the aches and pains, recover faster, and simply feel better.
