YogaSOMATICS Experiential Online Programme

YogaSOMATICS 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 is a contemporary blend of ancient yoga and modern somatics. It is an experiential bodywork practice using sensing and deep listening to make inner contact with oneself and the energetic body. The practice 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 is a non-competitive, non-linear practice which has been designed to align with one’s own natural rhythm, honouring each individual to make contact with your own embodied wisdom; and may appeal to those who are new to yoga. 

Term 2: Inviting Ease and Touching In will begin on Tuesday 28^th September. Some aspects explored will be Awakening the Spiral, touching into Soft Body, Dense Body and Energetic Body, the Skin as a sensing organ. Previous participants have described the practice as “transcendent”, “an exploratory space” and “a sensitive body practice”.

Date/Time: Tuesday 28^th September from 6-7pm online, for 5 consecutive weeks. Recording of each class will be available for a 7-day playback.

Investment: €45 per term. Reduced fee as Deirdre currently in training of 250H YogaSOMATICS course.

CPD: Certs will be provided after each term for 5 hours per term. 

Suitability: Suitable for all levels. If you have any injuries/illness or if you are pregnant, please contact Deirdre at livingroomyoga1@gmail.com to discuss in advance of booking.
