Welcome

SOMATIC MOVEMENT INTELLIGENCE & SOMATIC EXPERIENCING ( SEP)

 

Relaxation, Integration & Meditation

 

 Somayoga focuses on bringing together Hatha Yoga, Somatic Movement Intelligence, Somatic Experiencing, and Somatic Practice for the purpose of supporting and cultivating a more resilient nervous system. These classes address the accumulated stresses from everyday life, and support those with a trauma history ( check out the ACE, Adverse Childhood Experience study on line). 

This meditative movement practice has an emphasis on the inner felt sense, tracking the subtle variations of movement from within the space of the body. I am a Somatic Experiencing practitioner and a Movement Intelligence (MI) facilitator. I work by guiding somatically and encourage experientially-based enquiry in one to one sessions, small classroom and workshop formats. We will explore our own unique innate capacity for nervous system regulation, whilst moving towards greater health and well-being. Curiosity, kindness, self-compassion, slowing down and meditation are all key ingredients to the nature and tone of this body of work.

Movement Intelligence is an invitation to gentle exploration through primal movement patterns, natural breath, somatic inquiry and meditation. Exploring the foundational principals of MI; wave, axis, rhythm, oscillation, pulsation, spirals and the unique characteristic of Movement Intelligence. Vibrational pressure streaming from end to end through the skeletal system is part of the process, and is one of the many positive outcomes of this work. Thus creating more fluency, vibrancy and harmonious coordination throughout the body. Together with the Somatic Experiencing ( Peter Levine) principals of grounding, orienting, and tracking and experientially understanding the nervous system this fusion and body of work is a healing balm to the nervous system 🙂 

 My classes of SOMAYOGA address the fundamental principals of nervous system regulaton, and how to work with ourselves with this gentle yet profound approach.  All my classes weave in this subtle potent work aiming to support greater stabilisation, grounding, containment, with fundamental nervous system education. This exploration supports us to feel, and to understand the impact of our physiological responses to our inner and outer worlds.

Classes are meditative, focusing on Somatic inquiry, inspiring curiosity, and providing new options of movement, while nurturing the Nervous System. This approach is kind, "learning through goodness." Rewiring and building new pathways in the brain-body takes practice, small movements towards health and regulation can make a big difference. Working towards a more resilient coherant nervous system and greater capacity for the stresses of daily life.

 "Traumatic symptoms are not caused by the event itself. They arise when residual energy from the experience is not discahrged from the body. This energy remains trapped in the nervous system where it can wreck havoc on our bodies and minds." Peter Levine
