In an era in which mind and body struggle to dialogue, the Somatic Competence® Yoga masterclasses are born as a living and authentic space where you can listen to and rediscover yourself
Through an experiential approach that is deeply respectful of individual times and uniqueness, these masterclasses offer the opportunity to consciously explore one's internal world, inhabit body postures with presence and rediscover a more intimate and fluid relationship with oneself and with others. 
An opportunity to rediscover one's center, cultivate listening and somatic regulation, and give shape, with spontaneity and creativity, to a non-judgmental personal expression

 

The masterclasses are open to everyone, expert practitioners and beginners. In each meeting, in addition to the specific theme, there will always be moments of somatic focusing, writing (journaling) and sharing (always optional).

HATHA FLOW
19 OCTOBER 15:00-17:00 MILAN

 

Milano Yoga Space, via Pastrengo 7, Milan


An encounter in which to make and regain contact with one's body that moves fluidly, guided by breathing and music, with bodily movements that intertwine with writing, to explore one's inner state in an authentic way. An opportunity to listen and express yourself through freedom of movement, telling your story in a unique way.
An accessible movement experience, thought of as a cuddle, a time to take care of yourself, listen to yourself and connect with your sensations and emotions. With a gradual progression in movements synchronized with breathing, we will loosen the body and create, asana after asana and breath after breath, increasingly complex sequences. Guided in practice, we will come into contact with the sensations of the body and we will have moments dedicated to listening to them, writing them, telling them. 


A Hatha Flow yoga practice open to all practitioners, with moments of somatic focusing, writing (journaling) and sharing (for those who feel like it). During the practice we will be accompanied by a dedicated playlist.

YIN & YANG
November 9 10:30 am-12:30 pm Online

What does it really mean to listen to yourself, both in moments of movement and in moments of staticity
In this meeting we will delve into the profound dialogue between immobility and fluidity, meditation and expression, inspired by the principles of Yin and Yang. 
Two Somatic Competence® Yoga teachers will lead you synergistically into the experience: Alessia will lead the first part of the practice, focused on the dynamic component, where the body moves following the rhythm of breathing, to awaken presence and vital energy, while Federica will take care of the second, more static and introspective part of the practice. 
An opportunity to explore how the different qualities of the movement can coexist, support each other and give us a deeper sense of empowerment, balance and presence.

VINYASA
14 Dec 15:00-17:00 MILAN

 

at Milano Yoga Space, via Pastrengo 7, Milan


In this masterclass we will delve into a dynamic practice of Vinyasa Yoga: asanas and movements that follow the rhythm of breathing, interspersed with moments of somatic focus. The intensity and structure typical of tradition meet a dynamic approach in which the strength of the body is felt moment by moment, leaving the search for performance.
Through a fluid and progressive sequence, guided by breathing, we will learn to modulate energy, to welcome the sensations that emerge and to observe the body within the form. Practice thus becomes a space for dialogue with oneself and with one's body to learn to listen and choose, asana after asana.
An experience designed for those who want to deepen a dynamic practice without losing contact with themselves, also transforming intensity into an opportunity for care, presence and awareness.

​​

The meeting will be enriched by moments of somatic listening, writing (journaling) and sharing (always optional), to integrate the experience of the body with that of speech.​

what is somatic competence® yoga?

​Somatic Competence® Yoga is a trauma-informed approach to yoga that takes into account the complexity of body-mind interactions and accompanies practitioners to refine their knowledge and mastery of their body and emotions.

​​

what does somatic competence® mean?

​​Somatic Competence, is a clinical construct developed by the Institute of Integrated Psychosomatics over more than 25 years of research. Refining one's somatic competence means learning to listen to the body, observe the sensations that emerge, being able to express them and modify one's internal states to gradually (re)find awareness, orientation and balance. Our intent is to help people train this skill through the practice of yoga.

​​

what is a somatic competence® yoga practice like?

​Each practice of Somatic Competence® Yoga is first and foremost the integration of a trauma-informed approach into the method and style of each Somatic Competence® Yoga Teacher. You will be able to find different styles and expressions of yoga, ranging from dynamic flow to yin, from chair yoga to yoga during pregnancy, from mudras to pranayama, from meditation to deep relaxation. What the lessons have in common is the training of somatic competence, bringing attention to one's physical sensations in the here and now, to gradually learn to regulate the state of somato-emotional activation.
