By cultivating awareness and connection within our own bodies, we can begin to create meaningful change in the world around us.
It's a powerful statement that emphasizes the personal nature of the practice while also recognizing its potential for broader social impact.
Somatic Movement vs. Yoga
Somatic Movement at its core is about creating new ways of moving through life. This practice is about recognizing the interconnectedness of all life and honoring the diverse ways that people move through the world. It's about embracing change, both within ourselves and in our relationship to the world around us.
While both yoga and somatic movement are rooted in the body and the mind-body connection, they have some distinct differences in their approach and philosophy.
Yoga is a more structured and codified practice that typically involves a series of postures and sequences. The focus is often on achieving specific physical and mental benefits, such as improved flexibility, strength, and concentration.
Somatic movement, on the other hand, is a more open-ended and experiential practice. It's less about achieving specific goals and more about exploring and expressing the body's own inner wisdom and movement. The focus is less on physical postures and more on cultivating a deep awareness and connection to the body's sensations, emotions, and experiences.
Present in Motion
Present in Motion is a mantra to keep in mind as you navigate change. When things feel uncertain or overwhelming, just remind yourself to stay grounded, be open, and keep moving slowly.
We all need practices to find pathways to Presence.
Becoming Truly Self-aware
As a somatic movement guide and a complex human being myself, I recognize the power of authenticity in the therapeutic process. By practicing interoception - becoming aware of our internal states and bodily sensations - we can better understand ourselves and foster a deeper sense of self-awareness. This, in turn, enables us to reveal our true selves, not just the parts we choose to show the world.
In my work with clients and in my classes, I strive to embody this principle and encourage them to tune in to their own internal states and share their true selves, so that we may better understand and work through any barriers standing in the way of their well-being. Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, guided by the wisdom that comes from our inner
guides.
