Today, let’s explore the difference between traditional yoga and somatic yoga. While traditional yoga focuses on alignment, somatic yoga allows you to process and deeply feel your emotions. I will never tell you not to do a traditional yoga class, There is an incredible amount of value there and I have so much love for yogic tradition. But, I would like to encourage you to bring more somatic movement into your practice.

Let’s discuss:

🔹Traditional yoga’s focus on alignment, strength, and breath control, while somatic yoga emphasizes embodiment, emotional processing, and non-habitual movement.

🔹Five common yoga poses that can be made more somatic: sufi grind, spinal flex, cat-cow, downward dog, and janu sirsasana.

🔹How somatic yoga allows individuals to deepen their connection with their bodies and process difficult emotions.
