Live Classes
Move with me in real time — in the studio or from your living room. These are functional yoga classes built for real bodies: achy joints, stiff mornings, and all. We blend breath, somatic movement, and strength so you walk out moving better than you walked in.
On-Demand
Your practice, on your schedule. Short guided sessions you can do anytime — morning joint flows, evening wind-downs, and targeted relief for the spots that bother you most. Press play and move.
Privates
One-on-one, all about you. We look at how you move, what's stiff or achy, and build a plan around your body and your goals. Perfect if you're brand new to yoga, coming back from injury, or just want faster progress.
Yoga that meets your real life
Pain-free movement isn't about pushing harder — it's about moving smarter. Somatic Longevity blends yoga, somatic education, and occupational therapy know-how to retrain how your body moves through everyday life: chores, gardening, grandkids, all of it. No pretzel poses. Just practical movement that keeps you doing what you love.
OT Bodywork Sessions with Jessica Loose, OTR
Aches, stiffness, or tension getting in the way of your daily life — your work, caregiving, gardening, the activities you love?
Jessica Loose is a licensed occupational therapist offering OT bodywork sessions at Life's Work. Sessions blend hands-on bodywork, breathwork, and nervous system regulation with practical, personalized strategies to help you move and feel better doing what matters most to you.
Every client starts with a one-on-one OT evaluation: we talk through what's going on, set clear goals tied to your daily activities, and build a plan of care. Hands-on techniques are used to support those goals — this is skilled therapy, not relaxation-only care.
$90 per hour, cash pay (no insurance billed, no reimbursement promised)
No physician referral needed

Frequently asked questions
I've never done yoga — and I'm not flexible. Can I still come?
Absolutely. Most people start exactly where you are. Classes are built for real bodies and every pose has options, so you always have a version that works for you.
What does 'somatic' actually mean?
Soma means the body as you feel it from the inside. Somatic movement teaches you to notice habits — like holding your breath when you bend over, or hiking one shoulder up — and retrain them. It's practical stuff that carries into daily life.
What do I need to bring?
Just yourself, a mat if you have one, and water. The studios have props to borrow, and for online classes a couple of household items (a chair, a towel) do the trick.
Where are classes held?
In person at Life's Work Studio in Kalkaska (Mondays at 6 PM) and monthly at Pine Grove in Cadillac, plus live online classes you can join from anywhere.
How do I sign up and pay?
Book right here on the site — class packs, the 4-week clinic, and ebooks all check out here. The Monday Kalkaska class books through the studio's own page.
Do you offer one-on-one sessions?
Yes — 60-minute private sessions tailored to your body, your movement patterns, and your goals. Book under Privates.
