Somatic Yoga Therapy

Somatic Yoga is different from a regular yoga class. The pace is slower and more connected to embodiment through breath with guidance to assist your internal awareness. Specialized practices that focus on the polyvagal approach of nervous system regulation are used throughout the class.  

If you are one of the many who have experienced a love/hate relationship with yoga, have found it creates more physical pain in your body, or struggle with the stillness within the practice, you may find more benefit from Somatic Yoga Therapy with the core focus of nervous system regulation. It teaches you to feel safe in your body again and releases the notion of alignment and recognizes the importance of your own bodily awareness and feeling. Less static poses and more movement within the practice allows you to move in the ways your body is craving rather than forcing alignment and stillness. 

Who can benefit from Somatic Yoga?

Aside from everyone, those with anxiety, depression, (C)PTSD, a history of trauma, patterns of dissociation and dysregulation, and anyone looking for a way to get comfortable in their own body again.

Come give it a try! You might end up more relaxed, less stressed and feeling better! ;)
