YogaSOMATICS
A journey into the Sensitive Body for somatic and energetic healing
Living Room Yoga is delighted to continue this online journey of YogaSOMATICS. We offer a holistic approach to wellness and a place of calm and comfort in an endlessly busy world, inviting you on a journey of exploration, expression and expansion through connection to the authentic self and the innate magic within us all.
YogaSOMATICS is a contemporary perspective of yoga that is immediate, fluid and experiential. It bridges traditional yoga, modern somatics, meditative techniques and inquiry towards conciousness. YogaSOMATICS encourages sensing and deep listening to make inner contact with oneself and the energetic body.
The practice was founded by Ateeka whose work has been inspired by Continuum Movement founder, the late Emily Conrad, Gestalt psychotherapist Ruella Frank, Danish spiritual teachers, Jes Bertelsen and Madhurima Rigtrup and is currently a student of Helen Gamborg, author of the “Invisible Aspects of Healing”, inspired by Bob Moor’s teachings about the subtle body, energy medicine and healing.
YogaSOMATICS offers spaces of containment and exploration through aware movements, breathing, relaxation, mindfulness, meditation and contact bodywork. It is a return to connect to one’s own bio energy, through slow and subtle movement in a first-person relational experience. It may appeal to those who are new to yoga or as a self-care body practice.
Block 3: Sound
Using sounds made from the body and breath as a healing frequency. Including music as a nervous system reset, subtle movement, unwinding, guided meditation, grounding practices and Savasana with energetic awareness. Yoga Nidra, an effortless guided meditation and body scan to indulge in this sensation of deep relaxation and escape for your mind, body and soul.
