TRAINFORLIFE - integrated somatic training & yoga

Introduction: As a trainer in movement and healing arts, I want to help you feel better. How your body moves directly impacts the quality of your life. An integrative approach of training, yoga and somatic movement will help you build a strong foundation. Somatic movement is about practicing your body (Soma) by sensing how your unique body feels while in motion. With care and curiosity, we come to our body experience with the possibility for re-connection and repair of our energy and emotions. Somatic movement uses your brain to change your pain. Integrated somatic training (IST) is effective because it engages all body systems, to create a receptive state for the body to begin. IST invites self-inquiry: How is my body now? What needs strengthening, activation, or rest? We’ll explore what kind of movement works for you. Integrated somatic training is a holistic approach that guides you to PRACTICE YOUR BODY at your pace. Return to movement that is natural and sustainable! Training Philosophy: Emovere´ is the Latin word meaning, "to emote, move out." There is a movement pattern for every action and emotion. In our modern world we’re surrounded with a heightened awareness of mental health issues, physical challenges, and traumas. At the cellular level illness and trauma become stuck in our body. The body knows and feels this. Energy is movement -a pathway of release and recovery, that can transform into medicine for physical and mental health. Thinking of movement as medicine is a new way of observing how we are thriving, moving in our body, and how we can connect to healing.
