Somatic Yoga invites us to slow down, listen deeply, and move in conversation with the body — not in control of it.
Somatic Yoga Foundations: Connecting Body, Mind and Movement guides you into the art of felt experience, where intuition leads, movement unfolds naturally, and healing arises through awareness.
In this course, you will learn to:
✨ Teach from sensory awareness rather than external form.
✨ Guide students to explore movement as self-discovery, not performance.
✨ Use breath, curiosity, and nervous system attunement to restore balance and release tension.
✨ Cultivate presence — in yourself and in your teaching — as the foundation for transformation.
Who is this course for?
