Somatic Yoga Training Course Salthill

Nerves of the brain

Somatic yoga is a transformative practice that offers numerous benefits and emphasizes the integration of the mind and body. It focuses on the sensory experience within the body, bringing attention to the present moment and cultivating a deeper connection with oneself. Through gentle movements, breathwork, and meditation, somatic yoga encourages you to listen to your body's inner wisdom and develop a heightened awareness of your physical sensations. This increased body awareness can lead to improved posture, increased flexibility, and enhanced overall physical well-being.
