somatic education
Somatic education is a learning approach that focuses on the connection between the mind and body. It emphasizes awareness of bodily sensations, movements, and postures to enhance physical and emotional well-being. This method encourages individuals to explore their physical experiences, helping them to develop a deeper understanding of their body and its responses.
Practices in somatic education may include techniques from yoga, dance, and martial arts, as well as methods like Feldenkrais and Alexander Technique. These practices aim to improve body awareness, reduce tension, and promote overall health by integrating physical movement with mental focus.
