Healing the body through the practice of connecting sensation to movement
With an emphasis on relaxing breathing techniques, conscious sensation and organic movement, somatic yoga helps to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting its rest and renew functions so that the body can start to heal itself from physical and emotional pain.
As well as decreasing the level of stress hormones in the blood, the practice of somatic yoga helps to reduce our reactiveness to stressors - lessening the intensity of our fight/flight/faun response which in turn reduces stress and anxiety, improves emotional regulation, enhances self-compassion and releases stored energy from within the body.
Somatic experiencing
Somatic practice is the active awareness of feelings in the body using sensation, movement, sound and breath. It is the process of enquiry into knowing ourselves and the world around us through listening to the body and its language or intelligence an authority in itself.
Through somatic experiencing we learn attunement by turning inward to sense what is happening within. Somatic practice helps us shift any influence from our external world towards our own knowing and felt sense. We can then process these influences or triggers in a safe and compassionate way.

The transforming qualities of yoga and somatic practice
Brings mind and body back into union
Regular practice of connecting to the body, away from living in our heads, improves our ability to be present and restful.
Reduces stress, anxiety & depression
Peace in the body helps balance our delicate nervous system, so we can approach life from a place of deep knowing and self-compassion.
Promotes emotional regulation
Somatic practice teaches us to oscillate the nervous system using titration so it becomes easier to regulate and express emotions safely.
Promotes a sense of renewal & empowerment
Sensation and movement helps to release stored energy from past wounds, providing self-healing and an inner sense of authority.
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”
