what is somatic therapy
It’s a therapeutic method that places body in a central position of interest.
During the rebalancing process we focus on tuning into the body’s responses, emotions, and sensations. The body tells stories and somatic therapy helps us hear, understand, and process them, giving us access to past self. Every emotionally charged life event has left an impact on the physiology and neuroscience of the body. The nervous system remembers everything, and often the body expresses what the mind supresses, which can lead to multiple health issues. Furthermore, when symptoms become chronic the solution is no longer physical, it’s in the brain and nervous system.
Somatic therapy is based on understanding that nervous system regulation is crucial for creating mental, emotional and physiological equilibrium. And a more balanced nervous system allows to tap into the immense intelligence and capacity of the body to repair, rejuvenate, and regain strength and vitality.

Kosha model
In yoga therapy we use Kosha model as a framework to approach therapeutic process.

The first dimension: Physical Body
Establishing a feeling of stability, lightness, and ease in a body: Somatic Movement, Functional movement, neuromuscular health, optimal postural alignment, lifestyle guidance, nourishment.
The second dimension: The Vital Body
Improving vital metabolic functions in the body: Nervous system regulation, breathwork, stress response, sleep patterns, immunity, restorative processes, digestion, honouring cycles, and circadian rhythm, hormonal balance.
The third dimension: The Intellectual Mind
Understanding the nature of the mind: psychology of mental and emotional processes, mindfulness of thoughts, attention training, changing behaviours.
The fourth dimension: The Personality
Developing more awareness and working towards replacing dysfunctional patterns with beneficial ones: becoming aware of layers of conditioning, beliefs system, values, self-knowledge.
The fifth dimension: The Heart
