Somatic Yoga
For mind, body & soul
Service Description
What is Somatic Yoga? Somatic Yoga is a form of body work aimed at making strong connections between the body and the mind. Have you ever said "I could never do yoga, I can't touch my toes!" Well then this workshop is for you! Yoga is about so much more than the physical postures, and flexibility is not a pre requisite to the practice. Regardless of age, gender or physical ability, our bodies can become tight or restricted due to developmental reasons, habitual patterns, emotional stress, injuries or trauma. Small, slow and gentle movements are used to re-educate the brain so that it can relax and move these muscles more functionally. Some benefits of somatic yoga include: - Stress reduction - Pain relief - Improved balance and flexibility During this workshop we will practice a variety of somatic techniques to access the body and mind including - Body scan meditation Conscious breathwork Shoulder and neck tension release Mobilizing the upper body Grounding techniques Do you suffer from tight shoulders? Sore hips? Frequent headaches? Somatic yoga create a safe space for letting go of repressed and suppressed emotions. As you explore your internal landscape, you begin to sense what you’re feeling and where you’re feeling it. Through this exploration, you may begin to understand how emotions manifest physically in your body. For instance, feelings of grief or sadness might lead to rounded shoulders, increased muscular tension in the upper back, shallow breathing, and tightness in the throat etc. If you are curious about how somatic yoga might work for you then come along to this workshop. Spaces are limited to allow for lots of individual support and all the equipment is provided. If you prefer to bring your own yoga mat/bolsters etc then please feel free, and you may wish to bring along a blanket and/or pillow for extra comfort.
