Somatic Workshops

22nd-23rd June 2024
Utrecht, the Netherlands

SOMATIC SOLUTIONS FOR STRESS

Your nervous system has two sides. The ‘doing’ side sends you out into the world to work, play, and be active. The ‘being’ side takes care of relaxation, recuperation and healing.

Stress is what happens when your body’s natural ability to balance ‘being’ and ‘doing’ is overpowered.

This workshop investigates three unconscious responses to stress and examines how they affect your posture and movement. You’ll learn how to recognise them and explore embodied solutions for lasting change. Learn how to make the unconscious conscious and feel how everything becomes easier from your head to your toes! Experience for yourself the embodied intelligence of your soma. The afternoon practice focuses on how somatics is such an exquisitely intelligent preparation for yoga asana.

Dates: Saturday 22 June 2024
Time:  12:00-19:00
Location: Studio FLY | Croeselaan 209 | Utrecht

FREE THE HEAD, NECK AND SHOULDERS WITH SOMATICS

Somatics offers the gift of awareness, embodiment, and freedom. For many Yoga teachers and students, it is love at first sight! Learn how to make the unconscious conscious and see what transforms in your life and practice.

This workshop day focuses on the dynamic relationship between your head, neck, shoulders, and spine. We will investigate how to get to the root of neck, shoulder and upper back pain as well as improving posture and upper body alignment in preparation for Yoga asana or any movement practice. Learn how to combat computer shoulders, tech neck, and other repetitive strains; say goodbye to tension and hello to embodied ease and relaxation. The afternoon practice focuses on how somatics is such an exquisitely intelligent preparation for yoga asana.
