FAQ
What makes Somatic Yoga different from regular yoga?
Somatic yoga focuses on how a movement feels from the inside to resolve trauma, whereas traditional yoga often focuses on the form or posture.
Can Somatic Yoga Therapy help with anxiety and stress?
Yes. Many clients find that Somatic Yoga Therapy helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and promote a greater sense of relaxation and well-being.
Can Somatic Yoga Therapy help with trauma recovery?
Somatic approaches are often used as part of trauma-informed care because trauma can be stored not only in thoughts and emotions but also in the body. Somatic Yoga Therapy may help individuals reconnect with their bodies in a safe and supportive way.
Can Somatic Yoga Therapy be combined with counseling?
Absolutely. Many clients benefit from combining Somatic Yoga Therapy with traditional counseling, trauma therapy, EMDR, or other wellness services as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
