What is Somatic Yoga?

Somatic yoga is a therapeutic and trauma-informed practice designed to help you tune into your body's wisdom. Unlike traditional yoga styles that focus on flexibility or strength, somatic yoga emphasizes slow, mindful movements that release tension and promote a sense of safety and presence. This practice helps you feel more at home in your body, fostering a deep connection between your physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts.

How Can Somatic Yoga Support Your Therapy?

Somatic yoga is a wonderful complement to therapy, offering a body-based approach to emotional and psychological well-being. It can help you:

• Reconnect with Your Body – Many of us go through life feeling disconnected from our physical selves. Somatic yoga helps you become more aware of bodily sensations, allowing you to move through the world with greater ease and confidence.

• Release Stored Tension – Stress and unresolved emotions can create patterns of tightness and discomfort in the body. By gently exploring these areas through movement and breath, you can begin to release what no longer serves you.

• Cultivate Awareness & Presence – Through mindfulness and observation, you’ll learn to tune into your body without judgment, developing greater self-acceptance and compassion.

• Support Emotional Regulation – By attuning to your physical sensations, you can better understand and manage your emotions, making it easier to navigate stress and triggers.

• Feel Safe & Empowered – A key part of healing is feeling safe in your own body. Somatic yoga creates a supportive environment where you can explore your inner experiences at your own pace.

What to Expect in a Somatic Yoga Session

Sessions are designed to be gentle, accessible, and adaptable to your needs. Whether you're new to yoga or have an established practice, you’ll be guided through slow, intentional movements that encourage deep listening to your body. Breathing techniques and mindfulness practices help deepen relaxation and integration.

This practice isn’t about achieving perfect poses—it’s about discovering what feels good, honoring your body’s signals, and creating space for healing.
