Healing the body through the practice of embodied connection, sensation & movement
With an emphasis on restoring our sense of safety, reconnecting to our own natural rhythm and building the capacity to trust our inner wisdom, somatic work explores conscious sensation, attuning to our breath and expression through organic, self-directed movement. We use gentle yoga practice as a doorway through which we can begin to regulate the nervous system, promoting our body's rest and renew functions so that it can start to heal itself from physical, psychological or emotional discomfort.
Somatic yoga helps to reduce cortisol and therefor our reactiveness to triggers - lessening the intensity of our fight / flight / tend / befriend responses which in turn reduces stress and anxiety, improves emotional regulation, enhances self-compassion and curiosity, and releases stored energy from within the body.
Somatic healing
Somatic healing facilitates the exploration of an individual's inner landscape, fostering a compassionate relationship with themselves - this can ultimately lead to profound transformation. During sessions, clients work towards becoming actively aware of self through; tracking sensation, observing and attuning without judgement, exploring self-directed movement, holding space to express and encouraging curiosity.
Through somatic healing we learn attunement - 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, quietening the Chitta Vritti of the mind, improves our ability to be present
& 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, self-compassion
& curiosity.
Promotes emotional regulation
Somatic practice teaches us to oscillate the nervous system using titration (small steps) so it becomes easier to regulate & express emotions safely.
Promotes a sense of renewal & empowerment
Tracking sensation while moving helps us move & release stored energy from past wounds, providing self-healing, as well as an inner sense of authority.
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”
