My Approach & Philosophy:

​I believe your body isn't broken—it is simply navigating a major hormonal and physiological transition that deserves care, understanding, and compassion.

Modern life places relentless demands on women's nervous systems. Between chronic stress, hormonal shifts during perimenopause, fatigue, and stored emotional trauma, standard fitness or dynamic yoga can sometimes feel overstimulating or overwhelming.

​In my classes, workshops, and Freedom Retreats, we shift away from performance-based movement and turn toward internal felt-sense awareness. By combining gentle therapy ball release (MFR) to re-hydrate stiff fascia with slow somatic movement and calming breathwork, we give your nervous system explicit permission to step out of high alert and into deep restoration.

​Whether you are navigating perimenopause, seeking relief from persistent joint aches, or looking for a quiet sanctuary to reset, my goal is to provide you with practical, accessible self-care tools so you can move through life with ease, vitality, and grace.

​I look forward to welcoming you to the mat and walking this path with you.

About FõM Yoga

​Hi, I’m Marta Jackson —I am a somatic movement guide, yoga teacher, bodywork practitioner and founder of Freedõm of Movement.

​My journey with movement began back in 2010 with an introductory yoga course in London. At the time, I was simply looking for a way to manage daily stress and stay physically active. But as my practice evolved over years of studying embodied movement, Thai Yoga Massage, and bodywork, I realized I was searching for something much deeper: a way to truly inhabit my body and feel at home in my own skin.

​As I navigated my own physical shifts—and worked closely with women in my community—I noticed a profound pattern. So many women, especially during perimenopause and midlife, find themselves struggling with sudden joint stiffness, unexplainable fatigue, heightened anxiety, or a sense of disconnection from their changing bodies. Modern movement often tells us to push through, stretch harder, or "fix" ourselves. But I learned that when our tissues lose hydration and our nervous system is overloaded, forcing rigid shapes only causes more guarding.

​This realization shaped my dedicated focus on Somatics, Myofascial Release (MFR), Functional Breathwork, and Women’s Midlife Health.

Frequently Asked Questions:

​Yes, absolutely. You don't need any prior experience with yoga, somatics, or bodywork. Our classes are slow-paced, accessible, and sensory-led—focusing on how movement feels from the inside out rather than complex poses. Every session offers modifications so you can move safely at your own pace.

Fluctuating estrogen levels can cause connective tissue (fascia) to lose hydration, leading to sudden joint stiffness, muscle aches, fatigue, and heightened stress. By combining gentle therapy ball release (MFR) with slow somatic movement and functional breathwork, we re-hydrate tight fascia, ease joint strain, and soothe an overstimulated nervous system to aid better sleep and calm anxiety.

​For most classes, you will need a yoga mat, a blanket, a bolster (or thick cushion/pillow), and 2 soft myofascial release (MFR) therapy balls. If you don't have therapy balls yet, soft tennis balls work well as a starting alternative. Studio equipment is provided for all in-person classes.

​Yes. Because our practice focuses on gentle, non-performative movement mechanics rather than forced stretching, it is ideal for managing chronic tightness and joint pain. However, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider first and informing Marta of any specific injuries prior to class so tailored guidance can be provided.

​Our classes and multi-week courses are available both In-Person and Online via Zoom. If you sign up for a full multi-week series or course, you will receive access to the class recordings—so if you miss a live session or want to repeat a practice at home, you can watch it anytime at your convenience.

"Somatic practices with Marta helped me feel grounded in my own skin again. Learning to work with my nervous system rather than fighting my symptoms has completely changed how I experience perimenopause.""

-Sophie W./ Circle Participant

"Just had a 1:1 yoga session with Marta, followed by Thai massage. All I can say is wow. It was amazing. I’ve been in Marta’s classes before, but this was my first 1:1. Marta is a wonderful yoga teacher, and I would definitely recommend her classes, her 1:1 yoga and her Thai Yoga Massages. "
