Somatics: Time to reconnect with yourself

Our 6-week block of Somatics classes starts next week – Wednesday 7th October, 7.30pm. A chance to step away from the demands of everyday life and give yourself some dedicated time for self-care.

Somatics is a gentle, body-based approach that helps you develop greater awareness of how you move, breathe and feel. Through slow, mindful movement and attention to the body, you can begin to notice patterns of tension and stress and explore ways of letting go.

The practices can help you:

🌿Release tension and stress

🌿Calm the nervous system

🌿Improve body awareness and ease of movement

🌿Feel more grounded, present and connected

🌿Develop simple self-care practices for everyday life

 

Your sessions will be led by Kathryn (Karuna) Jackman, one of our Advanced Practitioners and trainers. Kathryn has been working with adults and children with additional needs since 2010 and brings a wealth of experience in yoga and somatic movement. She is trained in Hanna Somatic Movement, a form of neuromuscular re-education that helps the body release chronic tension and rediscover more ease in movement.

 

There is no need to be flexible, fit or experienced in yoga. The practices are accessible and can be adapted to your own body and needs.

Most importantly, this is time for you – an opportunity to slow down, turn your attention inwards and reconnect with yourself.

  • Starts Wednesday 7 October  
  • 7.30–8.30pm UK time

 

If your body and mind have been asking you to slow down, this could be a beautiful place to start.

A note from Jyoti
We have now passed the moment in the year when we move from light towards the inward call of winter. The Equinox always feels significant to me. It is a natural invitation to pause, to turn inward and to become more aware of what is happening within. For me, this is a time of deep introspection, a time to explore and become more present to my inner experience, moment by moment. How am I speaki...
