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. 

Deirdre Madden who is a qualified psychotherapist has been training with Ateeka for the past year and is now offering YogaSOMATICS classes as part of her training. She believes this is an excellent practice for self-healing, energy protection and self-care. Deirdre is a qualified yoga teacher in Vinyasa Flow, Yin and Yoga Nidra and has been a practitioner of yoga for over 15 years. 

Term 2: Connecting to Breath and Solar Plexus Energy will take place via Zoom on Tuesdays at 6-7pm commencing on 17th August for 5 consecutive weeks. CPD Certs will be provided after each term. 

Bookings can be made here:
