Are you struggling to understand the difference between Traditional and Somatic Yoga? If so, you’re not alone! Let me give you a breakdown on the two so you can see the differences…

Traditional Yoga aims to transcend the body through a process of movement, meditation, and disciplined concentration. The body is seen as an obstacle to overcome. This could not be more different than Somatic Yoga, in which the goal is to feel to heal and become more connected to your earthly body.

Now that you have the understanding of what Somatic Yoga is – give it a try! I just released a brand-new YouTube video that gives you a super simple practice for getting started on your Somatic Yoga journey!
