Somatic Wellness
Soma means “of the body.” Yoga involves physical postures, focused breathing, mindfulness and meditation. This all works in unison leading to a more attuned way of inhabiting the body and our experience in the world -physically, mentally and emotionally.
As a long time student of yoga, I have experienced the many physical and mental benefits of the practice. In its essence, yoga is designed to regulate the nervous system through grounding, body awareness, attunement to the breath, movement, and mindfulness. Yoga brings to the surface what we feel, what we feel challenged by, and what we suppress. It invites us into a journey of awareness and self discovery. As we practice, our openness and curiosity expands and our ability to connect more fully to ourselves becomes available. With mindfulness fully guiding this moving meditation we are offered an opportunity to explore the depths of our inner world promoting healing and an expansion of how we come to know ourselves.
"Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self - to the self."
THE BHAGAVAD GITA
Emotions are energy moving through our bodies. In the midst of stress, anxiety, trauma and chaos we run the risk of tuning out our physical and emotional needs; leading us into a constant pattern of fight, flight, freeze. Emotional wounds and prolonged stress often develop/express themselves physically as a result of subconscious programming activated in the body over time. Yoga is an evidence based approach to caring for your nervous system which is crucial to your wellbeing and your ability to navigate life's challenges.
