Somatic yoga is a gentle, mindful practice focusing on internal physical sensations and slow, deliberate movements rather than achieving perfect poses. It emphasizes re-educating the nervous system to release chronic tension, trauma, and stress, often incorporating floor-based exercises, deep breathing, and self-massage to improve mobility and body awareness. Somatic movements train the brain to change your body by using awareness and specifically designed movements. This technique teaches you how to sense and recognise muscular tension and contraction patterns in your body.
