What is Somayog?

Somayog is a method of working with the body and mind. It draws from practices such as hatha yoga, the Alexander Technique, the Feldenkrais Method, the McKenzie method, pranayama and Hellerwork. It was created in India by a yogini and dancer of French origin named Danielle Munoz.

Who is it for?

• people with a sedentary lifestyle exposed to constant stress, time pressure and forced body positions.
• people who need to stop and simply be in peace.
• people with physical limitations (because of age or injuries, procedures, etc.).
• people with an unusually sensitive nervous system.
• athletes/dancers/actors who want to increase body awareness and mental phenomena and stretch/relax muscles they most often use during training.

How does it affect the body and mind?

• increases body awareness and movement coordination.
• re-educates the organism to move in an efficient, light, pleasant and natural way.
• reduces stress, helps relax, can calm or energize the body.
• stretches, strengthens, tones and relaxes muscles.
• teaches how to regulate the breath, deepen it and use it as a tool for relaxation, concentration, etc.
• teaches working with mental phenomena, i.e. thoughts, emotions, moods.
• the mind begins to work in our favor, and we start to act in ways that do not harm our body.

Instructor of the Somayog method, choreotherapist.

I live when I move… And I strive… for the truth about myself, in the given moment. Yoga unites these two passions - movement and truth. For me yoga is about unification: body with mind and spirit, personality with essence, essence with the whole world and the universe.

In 2010 I discovered Somayog for myself: a gentle practice combining classical hatha yoga with modern movement techniques. I fell in love with its spaciousness, its kindness to the body and the many tools I could use to reprogram harmful movement and thinking patterns. I felt a greater contact with the body and my whole being on all levels.

Somayog is a method accessible to everyone because of its gentleness and approach: respect for the place where we are with our current limitations. When we fully respect the present state, new possibilities open up. We certainly have endless possibilities for development and self-knowledge.

In 2019 I became a Somayog instructor after training with my wonderful teacher Inga Schorowska. A year later I received a choreotherapist certificate upon completing the Academy of Choreo- and Art Therapy run by Dr. Anna Glińska-Lachowicz.

In my individual sessions and workshops in various Polish cities I pass on what I have discovered as most valuable. In free breath and conscious movement we can find a bridge to the present moment: the only moment available to us, now, alive and full of potential. THIS IS NOW WE ARE. I love to feel the power of the group and share it at larger events. I, the participants, we all learn from each other.

I invite you to co-being. To co-silence. And also to exchange sentences, questions and experiences.
