Yoga Deconstructed: Creative Sequencing With Somatics is a resource for yoga teachers who are looking for creative ways to incorporate somatics into their classes and personal practice. Somatics is a field of study that is derived from the Greek word soma, which means “the living body.” Within the context of movement, it can be defined as how the mind and body are perceived from within to self-correct and heal.
By taking this training, you will gain creative yet practical tools for working with students who lack body awareness, have a history of pain or injury, or have limited mobility. You’ll also be provided with strategies to work with students who are hypermobile, have limited mobility, or find traditional yoga poses inaccessible. Plus, you’ll learn creative ways to prepare your body for challenging yoga poses while also promoting downregulation of your nervous system.
