WELCOMING YOU HOME

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 explores conscious sensation, attuning to our breath and expression through organic, self-directed movement. This beautiful form of yoga helps to regulate the nervous system, promoting its rest and renew functions so that the body can start to heal itself from physical, psychological or emotional discomfort.
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 / tend / befriend response which in turn reduces stress and anxiety, improves emotional regulation, enhances self-compassion and releases stored energy from within the body.
Somatic healing
Somatic healing facilitates the exploration of the depths of an individual's inner world, fostering a compassionate relationship with themselves - ultimately leading to a profound transformation in their lives. 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, 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.”
