“Movement is medicine" is a powerful but simple truth 🧘♀️✨
Regular movement, whether it's yoga, walking, stretching, dancing, lifting, or just getting up from your chair more often, has profound benefits on our mind and body 💫
Somatic yoga combines pranayama, traditional yoga principles with somatic movement therapy, emphasising awareness of internal sensations rather than external form.
It is a gentle, mindful approach that helps you retrain the nervous system and release chronic tension patterns ✨
Some key benefits are…..
Increased Body Awareness 💫
Somatic yoga helps you tune into subtle sensations and movements improving your ability to notice and respond to the body’s cue like tension, emotions, fatigue, or stress before they escalate.
Release of Chronic Muscle Tension ✨
Many tension patterns are unconscious….clenched jaw, tight shoulders.
Through slow, mindful movements, somatic yoga creates space for the muscles and nervous system to relax.
Nervous System Regulation 💫
Activates the parasympathetic our rest and digest response reducing the effects of stress, anxiety, and trauma within our bodies.
Improved Posture and Movement Efficiency ✨
By bringing awareness to habitual movement patterns, you can move more efficiently and comfortably, helping to restore balance, increasing flexibility and coordination.
Pain Relief and Injury Prevention 💫
Especially beneficial for chronic pain conditions, gentle mindful movement helps restore function without strain.
Emotional and Mental Clarity ✨
The mindful focus of somatic yoga can release stored emotional tension with ease
supporting mental calm, resilience, and a sense of embodiment.
Accessible for All Bodies 💫
Movements are slow, flowing and adaptive making it suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
The most important part is that it is about having fun, exploring at your own pace remembering there is no right or wrong and it is not about how it looks it is about how it feels ✨🤍✨
Somatic Yoga Classes are held every Tuesday 630-730 at Pye Green Community Centre 💫
