Our bodies hold a wealth of wisdom, but many of us have become disconnected from what they’re communicating, often to the detriment of both our mental and physical health. Somatic therapy taps into this wisdom, using the body as a compass, helping to point us toward what needs attention and healing and supporting that healing to actually happen. This can be helpful for a number of struggles, including stress, anxiety, internal dilemmas, trauma as well as for chronic pain and other physical health conditions that haven’t fully resolved through medical treatment alone.
Yoga therapy is a type of somatic approach, and draws on yoga as a whole practice rather than just physical postures, including breath, meditation and mindful awareness. This includes breath assessments and personalised guidance on breath practices to support your mental health and wellbeing, alongside gentle, often seated movement or restorative postures to help calm and regulate the nervous system and build a more supportive relationship between mind and body.
