Yoga and Somatic movement for trauma and reconnecting with the body
Life is full of overwhelming experiences that leave a lasting impact on both the mind and the body. As a way to cope, we often disconnect from our bodies and try to process trauma through the mind. We try to think and talk our way out of things. But we’re missing a crucial piece of the puzzle — the body.
Body-based practices like yoga and somatic movement help us tap into places where language cannot reach. They open up a dialogue that reunites our entire being — feet to feelings, cell to self, brain to body. Working with the body in this way allows us to regain trust and ownership of our experiences, and navigate life with more ease and equanimity.
Trauma is more than an event in one’s life, it is also created by external systems around us which have impact on our bodies. The journey to supporting trauma is therefore not simply an individual journey but one we do in relationship with others and with acknowledgement of the systems around us that contribute to trauma.
