Yoga is the ultimate Somatic practice. A somatic practice tends to the body’s physical, and mental, reactions to a stress response. When we experience stress, certain parts of the body will get tense to prepare to get us to safety. This tension can get trapped in the body and keep us activated in a stress response, or in anxiety. Research tells us that body awareness and breathing mindfulness together are powerful tools for bringing the body and brain down from stress activation and into more calm presence. And this is exactly what we do in Trauma Informed Somatic Yoga. We use simple yoga postures and specific breathing techniques to soothe the brain and soften the body. It’s magical! And is often why we LOVE yoga so much. It helps us to reduce stress, anxiety, and pain.
