'THE FLUID BODY'

THE FLUID BODY is the second in a new series of Somatic Yoga immersions that will make up a comprehensive course throughout the year 2020, though guests are welcome to attend individual days as stand alone events. The three fundamental principles for exploration will be:

pulsation - oscillation - waves

"The body’s essential nature is fluid, and the prana (life force) flows like a tide. In the body, the fluids move in wave-like movements in the blood, lymph and cerebral-spinal fluid. Through practice we can begin to feeling these tides, supporting their rhythms and absorbing into the fluid body. This leads to states of sublime awareness, meditative flow and deep nourishment." Tias Little

This immersion is open to ALL students & no experience is necessary to attend. Yoga Teachers will receive CPD credits and benefit from wonderful experiential content to enrich your own sessions.

This Sunday immersion follows 'THE AWAKENING BODY' which takes place the day before, on the Saturday of the same weekend. You are welcome to attend on Sunday only though booking both days together offers you a discount.

SOMATIC YOGA is a deep dive into the replenishing delights of the subtle body energies. This practice introduces you to the nourishing experience of embodied mindfulness - an experience that cannot be described in words though some have tried:

"It's like eating a cream bun but without the calories" - Yvette

This practice involves all floor-based explorations & introduces of way of being in the body that is blissful & honest. No seeking, No striving, No pushing, No gripping on...

Just being

The end result is very similar to a Restorative yoga practice - the nervous system gets complete relief but through very slow, very soft, gentle movements.

These immersions are a day long as ample TIME is required to really allow tension to melt away. It is an amazing opportunity and the time flies by! The day will be varied and will involve some basic, non-invasive hands-on, shiatsu pair work, similar to adjustments sometimes given in Savasana, inspired by hands-on exercises from The Skinner Releasing Technique.

She originally trained as a professional dancer (BA Hons) that Emma was immersed for three years in the skinner releasing technique. SRT classes include imagery as a powerful tool for transformation. Part of the class involves hands-on partner studies (partner graphics), where we can feel ourselves letting go of habitual holding patterns, maybe for the first time. Emma's Somatic Yoga sessions are also informed by many years of Feldenkrais practice.
