In This Webinar:
Michelle takes you through a somatic therapy session, so grab your mat and a space to follow along. The practice of somatic therapy and somatic yoga can create and strengthen a mind-body-spirit integration. Ultimately, this bond can help people move through emotional, restrictive, and even habitual patterns.
These slow and gentle movements can be used to help reinvigorate–not only re-educating the brain and body, but also allowing us to relax and move muscles more functionality. Ultimately, one of the greatest goals of somatic yoga and somatic movement is to work through emotions that might be trapped inside of our bodies.
In Somatic Adventures for Anxiety you’ll get a somatic yoga therapy session that you can utilize and incorporate in your yoga practice. This Somatic Yoga Therapy session is specific to the anxious body, mind, and spirit. Michelle teaches how to unwind, untangle, and allow the body to unremember (no longer held in memory). Michelle’s class focuses on ‘releasing’ in order to create space for new neuropathways and new memories to be made.
It’s so crucial to find a daily release that works for you, that's why Michelle actively demonstrates how to practice and implement calming techniques in your life so that you can move into each day with joy, lightness, and peace.
Why Somatic Yoga & Somatic Therapy
Whether in our personal practice or while teaching a class, emotions can be felt–tangibly–in the body, either bubbling up to the surface or feeling intensely in an isolated area.
Often, this embodies itself in behaviors like shaking, tears, or even the urge to yell and scream.
How Somatic Yoga Helps
When we are ‘into the body’ (soma), we are noticing and paying attention to our interior landscapes–and that means we are quite literally stirring and shaking things up from the inside out.
It’s important that we continue to release and allow things like trauma, offense, anger, rejections, and more to continue to move through our bodies. If we don’t, these things can be trapped within muscles, bones, fascia, and our deep connective tissue.
Trapped emotions–things we don’t allow to process through–can cause physical harm, ailments, disease, depression, and a host of other issues.
It’s so crucial to find a daily release that works for you. In this webinar, Michelle shares how to practice and implement easy techniques in your life so that you can move into each day with joy, lightness, and freedom.
