If you are new to somatic movements, they might seem counter-intuitive or a bit tedious and maybe even complicated…. but the magic of somatics is the unlocking of chronic tension in our bodies. How would you feel if you could move like you use to?
In 2007, YogaJP produced our first Somatic video series with James Knight, Certified Hanna Somatics Educator and E-RYT. Eight years later, the work has spread all over the world because it WORKS! Here we share two examples of how somatic movements work to set you free!
Unlock Chronic Low Back Pain with Gentle Somatic Yoga: led by James Knight, E-RYT
Stability and Flexibility are dance partners in good spinal health. But when we hold pain and tension in our back, especially our low back, we lose our flexibility and restrict our ability to move freely. Give this Somatic Movement Flow a try and see if you can loosen up a bit!

Erhard Rohrmüller, Soma-Kinetics Physiologist and E-RYT500, shares how one stretching sequence can release tight hamstrings, tight quads and low back tightness in just a few minutes. Working with antagonist muscle groups is the philosophy behind this blend of stretching, Yoga and somatic movements.
