Somatic practices are trending, but do you know where this mind-body practice originated? Today I want to explore the history and principles of somatic yoga. How it emphasizes the importance of the mind-body connection and the role of emotional release in your physical practice.

Do you ever feel like you’re shaking with rage? Or do you tremble with anxiety? Because your body uses shaking as a means to release stress and trauma from the body! This is a normal response, but cultural conditioning has suppressed our natural inclination to shake off tension. It’s important to care for our bodies, just as we would for pets, and learn to close the stress cycle. Somatic shaking can help.   Take a breath, give yourself a little shake, and let’s talk about how: 🔹Neurogenic tremors occur in both animals and humans after stressful events 🔹Time does not heal wounds; it covers them with fascia 🔹Incorporating shaking into daily life can help manage stress 💗Get My Free Somatic Yoga Workshop =>  https://www.brettlarkin.com/embodiedyoga    Video discussed: Impala in and slowly out of collapsed immobility   FREE Practice: Somatic Yoga Workout for Beginners with Music | Energizing Somatic Exercises for Weight Loss Relevant Blog: How Somatic Shaking Can Release Tension and Reset Your Nervous System   Relevant to Today’s Episode: ✅ 200-hour Online Yoga Teacher Training 💖 Uplifted Membership 🔮 Somatic Yoga Life Coaching    🎧 Also Listen to: #318 – What Is Somatic Yoga? #330 – Somatic Yoga vs. Traditional Yoga: Breaking Down How 5 Poses Differ in your Yoga Practice #332 – 7 Ways to Release Anger & Grief Through Your Yoga Practice   © 2024 Uplifted Yoga | BrettLarkin.com
