In the typical acceleration of the digital age, our body remains constantly hyperactive, at the mercy of the flow of events, and the possibility to be present to ourselves is very often lost.

On a somatic level, the body registers what happens and memorizes it in forms of motor patterns, muscular and visceral tensions, and biochemical signals, in a continuous effort to maintain ourselves in balance. Changes in the circadian rhythm, appetite, high levels of anxiety and so-called "psychosomatic" symptoms are some examples of the effects of this acceleration.

More and more people look for bodily activities to cope with everyday stresses, in search of a sense of well-being and presence. Among these, yoga is the one that has had the fastest spread in the last decade.

Research studies show that, in addition to beneficial effects on health, yoga brings a sense of connection, ownership and control of one's body.

Somatic Competence® Yoga is the first trauma-informed approach in Italy, designed specifically for today’s life. It contemplates not only the attention to body states and their regulation, but also a progressive learning of tools to cope with crises. We believe in the necessity to create somatic memories alternative to trauma.
