Somatic yoga prioritizes internal sensation over external alignment and encourages slow, intuitive movement to ease stiffness and improve mobility. Mindful, unhurried motions hydrate and release fascia, the connective tissue that supports muscles, enabling freer movement. The practice cultivates interoception, increasing awareness of bodily signals and promoting decisions that favor safety, comfort, and self-care. Slowing down and centering attention on how movement feels helps quiet the inner critic and reduce mental clutter. Short, accessible sequences can target tension in the neck, shoulders, hips, and lower back while allowing individual modification for injuries or conditions.
Unlike other styles of yoga, somatic yoga shifts the focus from external alignment to personal sensation. It emphasizes feeling each posture from the inside out, letting intuitive movement guide your alignment and intensity. These mindful, unhurried movements also help hydrate and release your fascia, the connective tissue network that surrounds and supports your muscles so the body can move with more ease.
This heightened internal awareness, known as interoception, encourages you to honor your unique anatomy and make decisions that support safety, comfort, and self-care. By asking you to slow down and center your attention on how movement feels rather than how it appears, somatic yoga helps quiet the inner critic and clear mental clutter. The result is a more mindful, present, and restorative practice.
