Connecting with Your Body Through Somatic Movement
Our bodies are incredible vessels that carry us through life's journey. However, in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we often forget to tune in and connect with our bodies. Somatic movement is a practice that allows us to reestablish this connection by focusing on internal physical sensations and movements.
What is Somatic Movement?
Somatic movement involves mindful body awareness and gentle movements to release tension, improve posture, and enhance overall well-being. Unlike traditional exercise routines that focus on external appearances, somatic movement emphasizes internal experiences and sensations.
