The global chaos surrounding us in recent years have caused anxiety, fear, and insecurity, leaving many of us in a continuous state of fight, flight, or freezeâŠÂ disconnected from our own bodies â both physical and energetic â and weâve forgotten who we authentically are and how we fit into the world.
Embodied motion holds an unparalleled power to reopen you and reinvigorate your wellbeing. Are you ready to reclaim your sense of vitality, and wholeness?
Gayatri Schriefer and Brian Siddhartha Ingle, founders of Living Somatics, have crafted this 7-module course to guide you through the core strategies and principles of somatic movementâŠ
⊠and share with you how conscious movement, focusing on your internal experience, can help you draw on your bodyâs innate self-healing ability to balance your energy system, regulate your nervous system, improve your immunity, and achieve inner peace and optimal health.
In Siddhartha and Gayatriâs unique method of Living Somatics, the primary focus is on finding ease and quality within movement â the form of the movement is secondary. Their simple yet potent practices will help you recognize and release holding patterns and chronic pain resulting from injury, stress, repetitive strain, and habituated posture.
This transformational course includes both experiential and cognitive wisdom, and focuses on the seven major energy centers (the chakras) along the central axis⊠dedicating one session to each chakra throughout the seven modules of the program. Each energy center holds qualities that youâll learn to enhance and activate in your body and your life.
In addition to working with the chakras, Gayatri and Siddhartha incorporate aspects of Jyotish (or Vedic astrology) through the use of lunar constellations, sensations, visualizations, and seed mantras.
Each chakra is associated with a planet, two astrological signs, and nakshatras, known as lunar constellations. Your nakshatra, which describes your personality and innate tendencies, is determined by the position of the moon the day you were born.
In each of the course modules, youâll invoke one of the chakras, and the nakshatras and planet it governs, by embodying the qualities of these heavenly bodies through somatic exploration.
Combining these two approaches allows powerful healing to occur â helping you come back to your emotional intelligence and offering you a way to hear the internal feedback in your body more clearly â and act accordingly.
Youâll learn to cultivate healthy boundaries, accept and strengthen your sense of self, and accept others as they are.
Through these practices from Siddhartha and Gayatri, youâll find quietude in your body and in your environment, so that stillness is always available to you. Youâll also discover how to balance your energy system, improve your immunity, and regulate your nervous system.
And, because of your increased level of embodiment, youâll be able to perceive yourself with greater accuracy and clarity, so you can actualize your potential to a higher degree.
A deep well of self-care, self-love, and natural self-expression awaits you in this golden opportunity to awaken your innate self-correcting mechanism â a force that develops in each of us in utero, and heals us throughout our lives.
In this 7-part transformational intensive, Siddhartha and Gayatri guide you through the fundamental skills youâll need to cultivate somatic-movement practices you can return to time and again⊠to regulate your own health and wellbeing and live as your most actualized self.
The base of the root chakra is like a pilot light that fuels the other chakras. It represents our past and how itâs influenced who we are today.
Youâll begin this opening module by connecting with your base chakra. Youâll channel the primordial energy of the Earth to support you⊠and discover how to embody the qualities of groundedness.
In this somatic-movement lesson, youâll focus on your feet, lower body, and pelvic floor, exploring the principles of both internal and external support â for comfort and natural alignment.
In this session, Siddhartha and Gayatri guide you to:
The somatic principle explored in this lesson is about attuning to sensations.
Youâll practice movements that have flowing, innocent, and childlike qualities. As youâre guided in sacral, hip, and pelvic movements, youâll be encouraged to welcome and invite the playful, creative parts of yourself⊠and establish a relationship with them by listening to their voices and needs.
In this session, youâll discover how to:
The quality of the third energy center is power and autonomy. Itâs related to the first house of Vedic astrology⊠which determines who you are, why youâve come into the world, and how you want to be seen.
In this session, youâll practice movements that initiate in your solar plexus to discover the power in your belly, so you can learn how to set boundaries. Youâll tap into your core needs to cultivate an awareness of what you do and donât want, and when you have an authentic Yes or No.
The somatic principle explored in this lesson is about respecting your natural boundaries in movement â moving with integrity and executing the movement with optimal self-organization.
In this module, youâll:
In this module, youâll explore the area of your heart center â predominately the energetic heart, but the physical heart, as well. Youâll use movement, touch, sound, and visualization to ignite the heart center.
Considered the home of integration, love, compassion, forgiveness, and kindness, the lower and the higher energy centers meet in the heart region. Youâll learn how to access love â the governing force of the universe, and an infinite source of goodness, peace, and wholeness to fuel every area of your life.
Through an embodied-awareness and somatic-movement practice, youâll be guided to transform anxiety, fear, lack of confidence, and heartlessness into trust and the ability to love yourself and others. Youâll harmonize the cycle of giving and receiving and learn to trust your heart so you can have meaningful and enriched relationships.
The somatic principle explored in this lesson is about honoring your natural limits, learning to stay within a range of comfort and ease, and growing your capacity for self-love and self-honoring.
In this session, youâll discover how to:
In this module, youâll use somatic movement to release the area of the neck, throat, and jaw⊠enabling the expression of your divine voice. If this area is blocked, you may lose your communicative power. Speaking up becomes difficult⊠or you might stop talking altogether.
Liberating the energy center in the area of the throat can reduce soreness in the throat, thyroid problems, hearing issues, and stuttering.
In this module, youâll start to embody the noble truth of correct speech. To achieve purification at the level of communication, you need to become more aware of your true feelings, thoughts, and intentions⊠and develop a voice that reflects them. As you learn to calibrate this energy center, youâll nourish a gentle and elevated way of communicating.
The somatic principle explored in this lesson is about finding your natural expression through movement⊠honoring your needs and acting in accordance with your sensory feedback.
In this session, youâll:
In this session, youâll activate the sixth chakra by freeing the area of the eyes, face, forehead, skull, and neck. This energy center is associated with self-knowledge, intuition, clairvoyance, insight, and devotion.
The third eye represents the spiritual awakening of wisdom and hidden inner powers. By activating the pineal gland (the third eye), you stimulate open-mindedness, clarity, and certainty about your place in the world.
The third eye is also associated with space-time benders, travel into the past and future, telepathy, precognition, and the ability to tune into subtle energies.
The somatic principle explored in this module is about timing.
In this module, youâll:
In this closing module, youâll connect all the energy centers youâve addressed throughout the course and open the seventh center of universal consciousness.
This center has an ethereal, otherworldly feel to it. It enables you to know and feel that youâre connected to all living beings⊠and that you all come from the same source â the unified field.
This center is connected to jnana yoga, the yoga of knowledge. In Vedic astrology, itâs related to the 12th house, representing emancipation and renunciation â the part of yourself that wants to retreat from the world to be an ascetic, give up the relative existence, come home to your true self, and be secure around physical death and the eventual loss of your body.
The somatic principle explored in this module is about wholeness.
