Somatic Yoga vs. Traditional Yoga- Breaking Down How 5 Poses Differ In Your Yoga Practice

Today, let’s explore the difference between traditional yoga and somatic yoga. While traditional yoga focuses on alignment, somatic yoga allows you to process and deeply feel your emotions. I will never tell you not to do a traditional yoga class, There is an incredible amount of value there and I have so much love for yogic tradition. But, I would like to encourage you to bring more somatic movement into your practice.

Let’s discuss:

🔹Traditional yoga’s focus on alignment, strength, and breath control, while somatic yoga emphasizes embodiment, emotional processing, and non-habitual movement.

🔹Five common yoga poses that can be made more somatic: sufi grind, spinal flex, cat-cow, downward dog, and janu sirsasana.

🔹How somatic yoga allows individuals to deepen their connection with their bodies and process difficult emotions.
