Somatic Yoga

What is Somatic Yoga?

Somatic yoga is a type of yoga practice that emphasises a deep awareness and connection with the physical body internally and externally and involves slow, mindful movement and gentle, sustained stretching.

The practice encourages practitioners to use their breath and conscious attention to explore and release tension, develop a sense of ease and fluidity in movement, and cultivate a greater understanding of self-awareness and presence in the present moment.

Seven Tips to Do Less and Receive More

March 12, 2023 by Laurent Roure Leave a Comment

EP34: Breath Awareness Meditation, the Door to Samadhi

February 25, 2023 by Laurent Roure Leave a Comment

Pranayama and meditation are deeply rooted in the yoga tradition.

Together, and with other tools, they contribute to progressively more profound levels of meditative experiences. These tools are described in Pantajali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga.

It is interesting to see where pranayama is positioned on this list.

Just be – A poem by Bethan Laurels

February 5, 2023 by Laurent Roure Leave a Comment

I wanted to share this poem written by Bethan Laurels – she is a friend and student who sent it to me after practising yoga, movements, and breathing on the theme of sleeping better. She thought her poem was the perfect representation of being present in the present moment, an essential trait for the brain to feel safe and calm.

Somatic Yoga is a Way to Reconnect with being Whole Again!

January 19, 2023 by Laurent Roure Leave a Comment

Why is Somatic Yoga so important nowadays?

Laurent practicing yoga

Somatic practices and methods are popular because they are a way to reconnect with being whole again.

Something that we lost and need desperately to reexperience again as a society that increasingly suffers from mental and physical issues because of the way we conduct and act with ourselves in our busy lifestyle.
