A somatic and embodied yoga training
​
The Soothe Method is a gentle yet powerful approach to movement and self-regulation. This training invites you to return to the body as your greatest teacher — to listen deeply, move with intention, and cultivate a relationship with your nervous system as your most exquisite internal medicine cupboard.
Before we can share healing with others, we must embody it ourselves. Through this journey, you’ll explore how to regulate, restore, and build resilience through movement. You’ll learn to teach and guide others not from memorized sequences, but from lived experience — from the memory of felt-sense.
This training will give you tools to guide others through different scenarios of movement — from gentle and restorative to dynamic and strengthening. You’ll discover how to create spaces where people can slow down, reconnect, and find their own inner medicine through somatic and embodied yoga.

WHAT IS SOMATICS?
Somatics is a body-centered field of movement education and awareness that emerged in the mid–20th century through the work of pioneers such as Thomas Hanna, Moshe Feldenkrais, and others who explored movement as a way to restore ease, coordination, and self-regulation.
The word “soma” means “the living body from within.” Unlike exercise or posture-focused movement, somatics brings awareness to how the nervous system organizes and experiences the body in real time.
Originally developed to support people in recovering from chronic muscular tension (known as Sensory Motor Amnesia or SMA), somatic education works by reawakening neural pathways that may have gone offline due to stress, trauma, or habitual holding patterns. Through slow, mindful movement and sensory awareness, the nervous system learns to release unnecessary tension, restore fluidity, and return to its natural state of balance.
Somatic practices are now widely recognized for their role in:
-
Nervous system regulation — shifting from survival states to safety and ease.
-
Pain reduction and mobility restoration — by improving neuromuscular communication.
-
Embodiment and self-awareness — helping individuals feel at home in their bodies again.
This is not about performance — it’s about reclaiming agency over your own body.
WHY SOMATICS MATTERS FOR TEACHERS AND PRACTITIONERS
For anyone wanting to teach yoga, movement, or any body-based modality, somatic awareness is a game changer.
When we teach only from technique, the practice can become mechanical or external. But when we teach from a somatic foundation, we are teaching from a living, felt understanding of the body — not just shapes and cues, but a language of sensation, regulation, and connection.
Somatics supports teachers and practitioners to:
-
Guide others regulate their own nervous system before guiding others — holding space from grounded presence.
-
Understand how movement influences states of safety and resilience in the body.
-
Read and respond to the body’s feedback rather than imposing rigid sequences.
-
Create trauma-sensitive, accessible spaces that meet students where they are.
-
Teach from embodiment — so presence becomes the most powerful part of the class.
​
Whether you teach yoga, dance, pilates, bodywork, or therapy-based movement, somatics gives you the tools to guide others with more clarity, sensitivity, and impact.
