- What is Somatic Yoga?
Free online webinar (in German)
Somatic Yoga has gained enormous popularity in recent years, but the term often encompasses very different interpretations of what makes a yoga practice “somatic” and how it differs from other forms of yoga.
In this free webinar, Marion Evers, co-director and curator of the Somatic Yoga teacher training program at SAB, will provide a basic understanding of the concept of somatics and its implications for the pedagogical teaching and design of yoga.
You’ll gain insights into how Somatic Yoga is taught and practiced at SAB and have the opportunity to ask questions about the training program, certification options, and funding opportunities.
Participation is free of charge, but advance registration via Zoom is required: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/W2wYPv_BSOCWWeFQjts27g

What does Somatic Yoga mean?
Somatic Yoga is an open yoga system which, in combination with the Feldenkrais Method, Continuum and the Experiential Breath according to Prof. Ilse Middendorf, strengthens and moves the aspects of embodiment in the yoga practice. In this way, an awareness between design and self-organization can develop in movement, asana, pranayama and bandhas.
What is Somatic Yoga based on?
The somatic methods each emphasize the potential of our physical and bodily perception in their own way and, together with the deepening of experiential anatomy in yoga training, form a beneficial basis in which our bodily references are embodied more vividly and enjoyably and are understood in connection with feeling. An essential change of perspective in which the overemphasis on the perfect pose dissolves pleasantly into a subtle feeling in slow movement. The body's own movement is requested and (finally) becomes visible. The whole organism breathes and flows. Aspects of the trauma-sensitive and low-injury space in Somatic Yoga and Embodiment Yoga are integrated into this type of approach.
How does the Somatic Yoga practice look like?
The traditional postures and forms of yoga - asanas - combine in evenly flowing sequences - flows.
A continuous change of becoming and passing away. We then slow down the smooth flow of movement more and more, gathering and unfolding into and out of each asana, holding, releasing and creating anew. In this way, we immerse ourselves more and more in the fluid and moving depth of the body that once created this asana form.
Through Somatic Yoga, traditional asana series of yoga are expanded through organic and fluid movement sequences, the invitation to feel the body deeply is conveyed through the conscious somatic address of the fascial structures of the body, among other things, and enables a joyful and relaxed approach to the form.
