Learn the SomaYoga methodology to release the stress response in the body, retrain the neuromuscular system, regulate the nervous system, and integrate stability and strength. East (yoga practices & functional movement) and West (Somatics & neuroscience) are beautifully integrated through this trauma-conscious practice.
SomaYoga Therapy is the blend of gentle therapeutic yoga with neuromuscular retraining with Somatics. In this intensive, we’ll learn how our bodies develop unconscious movement & tension patterns, and how to identify & retrain them. Explore the neurophysiology behind SomaYoga, learn to use Interoception in our own bodies, and how to teach others in classes and private sessions. Learn skills to blend therapeutic asana and functional movement by building from the core out to the limbs, along with layering Yogic maps such as the Koshas & 8 Limbs of Yoga.
Learn the hows and whys of SomaYoga Therapy and Somatics:
Learn how SomaYoga Therapy and Somatics can help us work toward smarter muscles, and why two very conscious cycles with curiosity are better than 10 fast repetitions.
Explore how Somatics involves the brain, muscles, and the nervous system.
Learn how to incorporate it into yoga practice to help students improve posture and get out of chronic pain.
