Somatic Yoga, developed by Eleanor Criswell, is a unique approach to yoga that blends somatics (mindbody integration), Hatha yoga, and Raja yoga (Patanjali's yoga). It is based on the principles of somatics, yoga, neuroscience (especially the somatic nervous system), applied psychophysiology, and psychology. The emphasis is on doing yoga from a first-person perspective with knowledge and awareness. Somatic Yoga is concerned with the evolution of the person-mind, body, and spirit. It leans heavily on sensing your somatic self and your life's work. The somatics approach to yoga can be used with a wide variety of yoga styles. It can also be used with individuals and groups and in your own personal practice. The Soma module includes principles of Somatic Yoga, principles of somatics relevant to yoga, somatic assessment, basic neurophysiology, and a somatic approach to the eight limbs of Raja yoga (yamas and niyamas, asanas, pranayama, pratyahara, concentration, meditation, and unification), how to teach the somatic exercises, how to teach a somatic yoga class, and other topics. The Psyche module focuses on clinical applications of Somatic Yoga: Deeper understanding of the neurophysiology of yoga, the neural basis of motor control, Somatic Yoga case presentations, and more complicated applications of Somatic Yoga. Students who demonstrate proficiency-knowledge and skill-in Somatic Yoga teaching will be certified in Somatic Yoga.
