Part 1/8:

Exploring Somatic Yoga for Emotional Release and Weight Loss

Somatic yoga roots itself in the connection between the body and mind, focusing on movements that invite emotional release and physical wellness. It offers an engaging way for beginners to tap into their physical sensations, helping them to release stored emotions and possibly foster weight loss through mindful movement.

Starting Your Journey

The session begins by grounding oneself, standing with feet wider than hip-width apart. Participants are encouraged to connect with their bodies by placing one hand on their heart and the other on their belly. Swaying the hips to the music as a gentle warm-up, the practice invites big yawns to release tension from the jaw—the area where many hold stress.
