A process oriented therapy, Somatic Movement pays close attention to the relationship between body, mind, heart and soul. We allow the presenting inner process, emotions and sensations to unfold, giving the space and time needed to observe what we notice. The emphasis is on creating a non-judgemental space, avoiding interpretations or projections. A compassionate therapeutic environment allows to gently transform longstanding issues in effective and long-lasting ways. What is Mindful Yoga? Yoga is a centuries-old guide to healthy living, developed in India to balance body, mind and spirit. Nowadays there is a myriad of styles and approaches to Yoga. Mindful Yoga differs from many modern Yoga practices by focussing more on the internal body/mind awareness and the felt inner experience, and less on the external appearance and achievement. Related
