Connecting with the Body through Somatic Movements
Our bodies hold incredible wisdom and potential, yet in the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often lose touch with this innate connection. Somatic movements offer a pathway to reconnect with our bodies, listen to their signals, and move with greater awareness and freedom.
What are Somatic Movements?
Somatic movements involve mindful, slow, and gentle exercises that focus on internal physical sensations and proprioception. These movements help you become more aware of your body, release tension, improve posture, and enhance flexibility.
