NeuroSomatic Yoga
Gentle movement and breath for body awareness and nervous-system regulation
NeuroSomatic Yoga is a gentle, breath-based practice designed to support body awareness and nervous-system regulation. Through slow, precise movement and breathing practices, it helps you slow down, feel more at ease and develop a deeper sense of connection with your body.
What Is NeuroSomatic Yoga?
NeuroSomatic Yoga is a gentle practice that combines slow, precise movement with breath and attention to support the nervous system.
The practice is grounded in the understanding that movement, breath and attention are part of an ongoing conversation between the body, brain and nervous system. By working gently and with awareness, it encourages regulation, ease and body awareness.
Sessions may include slow movement, breathing practices, body-awareness exercises and periods of rest.
