Introduction to teaching Somatic Movement
Explore movement as medicine
Somatic Movement is an amazing journey into yourself. This journey into your self-sensory system helps you to connect with your body, become more intuitive and clearer and learn to know yourself from deep within. The practice works on multiple levels: You can use it to refine your movement patterns, cultivate a loving and healthy relationship with your body, and with interoception, let go of deeply held tension in the body and mind.
It’s a practice of ‘deep body listening’ which creates an amazing flow-feeling in your body and brings you into natural states of meditation.
In this training Deborah Berryman shares the qualities, personal experiences and attitudes that are important in those drawn to teaching meditation, as well as the challenges and pitfalls that may arise.
Course Overview:
Together we’ll explore -
• Interoception - learn how to reconnect with your body and move from within
• Yoga Nidra - learn to teach Yoga Nidra and how to combine it with movement
