A History of Somatics: Where did Somatic Yoga Come From?


Listen Later

Somatic practices are trending, but do you know where this mind-body practice originated? Today I want to explore the history and principles of somatic yoga. How it emphasizes the importance of the mind-body connection and the role of emotional release in your physical practice. From influential figures in the somatic space to common misconceptions.

 

Learn how to connect with your body on a deeper level as we look at how:

🔹Sensory awareness is crucial for understanding our body and emotions.

🔹Traditional yoga often focuses on transcendence, while somatic yoga emphasizes connection to the body

🔹Pleasure and fun can enhance the healing process in somatic practices
