Ep 20: Somatic Yoga Principles - How To Incorporate Them In Your Yoga Classes
Manage episode 415291198 series 3548197
Somatic yoga is a mindful and reflective practice that emphasizes internal sensations, movement exploration, and self-awareness. Rooted in the principles of somatics, a field that explores the lived experience of the body, Somatic yoga teaches and encourages practitioners to become more attuned to their bodily sensations, movement patterns, and emotional responses.
One of the primary effects of somatic yoga is the release of muscular tension and chronic holding patterns. Through gentle, slow-paced movements and guided awareness practitioners learn to release tension stored in the muscles, fascia, and connective tissues. Somatic yoga also facilitates greater proprioception (the body's awareness of its position in space) and encourages more kinesthetic intelligence, which is learning through movement. Sharpening your sense of proprioception allows you to move with more competence and has the potential to save you from injury. Thus gaining a deeper understanding of your body's mechanics and movement potential.
Somatic yoga also helps regulate your nervous system by calming down an overactive nervous system and activating the relaxation response. Through slow deliberate movements and deep breathing, you activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is like your body's built-in relaxation mode. This helps reduce the levels of stress hormones, like cortisol, and promotes a sense of calmness and tranquility. Let's dive into the world of somatic yoga and how you can incorporate it into your classes.
