INFO
What is Soma Energetics
Soma Energetics is a two-day training for yoga teachers and experienced practitioners that focuses on the yoga asana as an embodied and energetic process, not just a physical posture.
Through Soma Energetics, the asana is experienced as an internal dialogue with deeper levels of consciousness — a space where breath, the nervous system, energy, and the body’s history are revealed without words.
Το Soma Energetics σου μαθαίνει πώς να βλέπεις, να αισθάνεσαι και να υποστηρίζεις τον μαθητή σου, όχι διορθώνοντάς τον, αλλά συνοδεύοντάς τον, υποστηρίζοντας τον στη δική του διαδρομή.
What we focus on
In this training, we work on fundamental yet often overlooked questions of teaching:
How can I understand what is happening in a body without verbal explanation?
How do I interpret the quality of a student’s breath, tension, and resistance?
How can I sense when a body is ready to progress and when it needs space?
How do I offer assists without interfering with the student’s process?
How can I be present without over-guiding?
How do I create safety without controlling
Το Soma Energetics καλλιεργεί τη σωματική ευφυΐα, την ενεργειακή αντίληψη και τη διακριτική παρουσία που χρειάζεται κάθε δάσκαλος γιόγκα.
How we work
Η εκπαίδευση είναι απόλυτα βιωματική.
The training is fully experiential and includes:
• Asana practice with an energetic approach
• Exploration of breath as an indicator of readiness and resistance
• Observation of the nervous system in movement
• Embodied understanding of assists
• Exercises in perception, touch, and presence
• Work in pairs and small groups
We emphasize what happens inside the body while inhabiting the asana, rather than how the asana “looks.”
The Art of the Assist
Στο Soma Energetics το assist δεν είναι οι διoρθώσεις που κάνουμε ως δάσκαλοι στους μαθητές μας.
Είναι contact και σύνδεση.
You will learn:
• When touch supports and when it interrupts
• How to touch without imposing
• How to “listen” to the body through your hands
• How to respect the student’s journey
• How to be present without becoming intrusive
The assist becomes your way of communicating:
«Είμαι εδώ μαζί σου, σε υποστηρίζω», όχι «κάν’ το σωστά»
