Soma: of the body
Soma comes from a word meaning; in Greek, so somatic
means and is most often used in connection with
ones health. Somatic movement is a practice of movement that
prioritizes internal, physical sensations and awareness over
external form or performance goals.
It involves focusing on what you feel in your body while moving slowly and with conscious attention, allowing for a deep connection between the body and mind. This internal focus helps to release ingrained tension, improve coordination, reduce pain, and foster greater overall well-being by building self-sensing (interoception).
What you can expect in your somatic movement class:
Internal Focus:
The primary goal is to pay attention to the
body as it is experienced from within.
Conscious Awareness:
You are aware of your movements and sensations as they
occur.
Slowness:
Movement is typically slow to allow the nervous system
time to process and learn new ways of moving.
No Specific Goal:
Unlike traditional fitness, the aim isn't to achieve a certain
pose or strength but to deepen your internal connection.
Mind-Body Connection:
It explores how emotions, stress, and past experiences
manifest as physical sensations and how to release them.
Benefits
