Most of us spend our days living from the neck up—thinking, planning, worrying, doing. We move through life often disconnected from what our bodies are feeling, needing, or trying to say. Somatics is the practice of coming home to the body. It’s about paying attention to the wisdom that lives in our muscles, our breath, our posture, and our nervous system. It’s about realizing that the body isn't separate from the mind, but is the ground of our emotions, our beliefs, our patterns, and our power. 

Somatics asks us to dance with questions like: 

🌀 How do you know what you know?

🌀 What sensations arise in your body when you're angry, scared, fully alive, or deeply seen? 

🌀 How do the narratives of your life—your traumas, cultural experiences, and identities—express themselves through your tissues, your breath, your movements?

Somatic practice encompasses techniques and exercises designed to increase our awareness of the experiences of our bodies in space and time. These practices might include things like mindful movement, breathwork, sensory awareness, communication practices, and body-centered meditation. Somatic practice helps us recognize and understand bodily sensations, emotions, and habitual patterns, fostering deeper self-awareness and clarity about how we show up the world and the gap between that and what we’re longing to do, embody, or become. This awareness opens the door to choice, to healing, to resilience, and to more embodied presence with others. It’s not just about thinking differently; it’s about living differently—more whole, more rooted, more awake.
