Somatic Yoga & #Movement Therapy

Soma comes from a Greek word connoting The Living Body” – pertaining to the consciousness of our living body, experienced and regulated from within. It is an exploration into waking up our innate senses to uncover our mind-body mapping.

A somatic movement is made with a focus on the internal movement instead of on the external movement. Internal movement is very different from most physical or exercise training. Because his internal way of moving builds your cognizance (self-sensing) it helps you feel good. And, as you master this skill, you will make better and more clear choices about your well-being.

Somatic Movement involves a series of specific exercises that reconnect the brain with the muscles so you can let go of tightness in the body. The movements are slow and mindful, and are performed on the floor, so your body is more comfortable and isn’t fighting against gravity.  No pain = more gain!

Somatic Movement Therapy is a gentle rhythmic movement gives you the tools you need to access the wisdom stored in your body. It helps unwind tension habits that cause pain. Somatic Movement helps you transform unhealthy habits caused by physical injuries, trauma, personal habits, or even skipped developmental stages.

Brain plasticity is the ability of your nervous system to change patterns and habits by reorganizing how it does things. Having a brain that can change improves how you move your muscles, how you perceive balance, how you react to outer stress, or when you notice tiredness, hunger or emotion. A reorganized brain changes and can help how you respond to any threats you perceive. This is very important for anyone in chronic pain or who has high sensitivity (HSP), because you can change how you experience the world around you.

What are Somatic Principles?

  • It is body centered to improve awareness of the body-mind connection
  • It is a sensory approach (rather than cognitive approach) to learning / unlearning / relearning
  • It is exploratory in nature, based on the premise that the body is shaped by the mind, and that the mind can be reshaped through the body
  • It is focused on the internal experience of the movement rather than on the end result.

Benefits Of Somatic Movement Yoga

Somatic Movement yoga is useful for many challenges. Here are a few:

  • Pain and stress management or alleviation
  • Sexual health and pelvic floor issues
  • Balance
  • Difficulties with smooth or fluid movement
  • Nervous system calming and meditation
  • Trauma and injury recovery
  • Fitness training
  • Anxiety, worry, despair, and mental health concerns
  • Alleviating Parkinson’s symptoms
  • Meeting loss and grief

The many benefits of Somatic Yoga

Somatic Yoga can improve posture, mobility, strength, balance, coordination and proprioception. It can reduce neuromuscular pain and symptoms related to chronically tight muscles such as headaches, frozen shoulder and breathing issues. It can mitigate symptoms of anxiety, depression, sleeping issues and fatigue.

The right approach can significantly improve your quality of life and maintain these gains over time. Try Somatic Movement to relieve your symptoms, reduce your pain, and feel confident to live life to the fullest. 

Make Yoga Practice a “Somatic” Practice.

1) Breathe: try to keep a slow, even, steady, and comfortable pace of breathing, through your nose where possible.

2) Move slowly and consciously: notice what it takes to make a movement occur or what it takes to hold your body in a yoga pose.

3) Move gently and with as little effort as possible: notice where you hold “secret” unnecessary tension, such as in your face, shoulders, or hands.

4) Somatic movement shouldn’t be painful: don’t force any movement and see what movement and what poses you can inhabit without causing pain.

5) Be persistent, patient, and positive: don’t expect your body to change by sheer determination. Relax. Give yourself time to explore what is there and find gratitude with what you have as you patiently and compassionately explore

READY TO TAKE FULL OWNERSHIP OF YOUR HEALTH

Wednesday 17 January 2024

The gym is the place you want to be.

gym, short for gymnasium (pl.gymnasiums or gymnasia), is an indoor venue for exercise and sports. The word is derived from the ancient Greek term "gymnasion". They are commonly found in athletic and fitness centers, and as activity and learning spaces in educational institutions. "Gym" is also the commonly used name for a "fitness Centre" or health club, which is often an area for indoor recreation. 

What Fitness Really Means?

Our bodies are meant to move, and they tend to function better when we’re more fit. Many people strive to be fit. Fitness, after all, is synonymous with health.

Having a high level of overall fitness is linked with a lower risk of chronic disease, as well as a better ability to manage health issues that do come up. Better fitness also promotes more functionality and mobility throughout one’s life span.

And in the short term, being active can help your day-to-day functioning, from better mood to sharper focus to better sleep.

“The body achieves what the mind believes.” 

5 components of physical fitness:

  • Cardiorespiratory Fitness Your VO2 max is a commonly used measure of this. It’s your body’s ability to uptake and utilize oxygen (which feeds all of your tissues), something that is directly related to your health and quality of life.
  • Musculoskeletal Fitness This includes muscle strength, endurance, and power.
  • Flexibility This is the range of motion of your joints.
  • Balance This is your ability to stay on your feet and steady to avoid falls.
  • Speed This is how quickly you can move.

Why is gym important for everyone?

Whatever your age, there's strong scientific evidence that being physically active can help you lead a healthier and happier life. People who exercise regularly have a lower risk of developing many long-term (chronic) conditions, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and some cancers.

Does everyone need to go to the gym?

And the answer is simple – it's essential to indulge in physical activity and workout according to your individual needs. However, it's not mandatory to go to a gym to do so.

What is the purpose of a gym?

The primary purpose of a gym is for people to build muscle strength, burn calories, and improve their physique. On the other hand, wellness centers, in addition to exercise equipment and group exercise classes, offer various activities and amenities.

Now, when it comes to working out, it’s important to work smarter, not harder. And anything that can make your life easier is worth its weight in gold. That’s why the gym is a perfect place to get your sweat on. It’s a competitive environment where people push themselves to the limit and put in the extra effort to be the best.

Is gym important in life?

A gym session or brisk walk can help. Physical activity stimulates many brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier, more relaxed and less anxious. You also may feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.

“The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character.”

Which Type of People Should Actually Hit the Gym?

Now about hitting the gym – who should do it and who should avoid it. Going to the gym isn’t for everyone, but there are definitely some folks out there who can benefit from it such as:

v Individuals preparing for bodybuilding competitions.

v Individuals who have professional goals based on looks and fitness such as models, celebrities, etc.

v Individuals who have such lifestyles that they can spare some time for gym throughout, such as people involved into huge family businesses where everyone has time for themselves, etc.

v Individuals having a lack of motivation to exercise on their own.

There are different body types as per Ayurveda (Vata, Pitta and Kapha), individuals having “Pitta” type bodies should go to the gym or swimming etc.

Conclusion

In conclusion, going to any gym has numerous benefits for both physical and mental health. Improved physical health, enhanced mental health, social interaction, increased energy and productivity, and personal achievement are just a few of the benefits of going to the gym. If you haven’t started going to the gym yet, now is the perfect time to start. Even small steps such as taking a walk or joining a fitness class can have a big impact on your health and well-being. So, make the decision to start today and take the first step towards a healthier, happier you!

“All progress takes place outside the comfort zone.”
