"The body is the unconscious mind.”- Candace Pert, Neuroscientist

What is Somatic Yoga?

Somatic Yoga has its roots in the somatic movement, a field within bodywork and movement studies focusing on internal physical perception and experiences. It centres around the principle that the body and mind are not separate but are instead two aspects of a unified system.

Why Somatic Yoga is so Important

A big part of the value in Somatic Yoga stems from its capacity for healing trauma. When trauma occurs, it manifests not just emotionally and mentally, but also physically. Somatic Yoga empowers practitioners to tune into their bodies in order to release these physically stored patterns of trauma.

Becoming a Somatic Yoga Teacher

At Aura Institute, our Somatic Yoga Teacher Training is composed of a curriculum that is heavily informed by the principles of trauma healing. The program focuses on understanding the relationship between body awareness and mental health, using that understanding to aid and facilitate healing through intentional movement.

The Benefits of Somatic Yoga for Mental Health

Through incorporating mindful movement with mental awareness, Somatic Yoga has a tangible effect on mental health. It can help reduce anxiety, ease depression, and assist individuals in working through trauma.
