somatic yoga therapy - #26944
I am 34 and have been dealing with chronic back pain for years, and last month I stumbled upon somatic yoga therapy while searching for options — kind of desperate at this point. I read somewhere that somatic yoga therapy can help with body awareness and even release physical tension or trauma. I decided to give it a shot, went to a class, and honestly, I felt different after just one session, like a mix of relief and confusion. But, the pain hasn’t completely gone away. I’m wondering if I need more sessions for the benefits of somatic yoga therapy to kick in or is there some other approach I should consider?? Also, does anyone know if somatic yoga therapy is something I should do consistently, like weekly or is that overkill? My friend mentioned to me that somatic yoga therapy also connects with emotional issues, which sounds interesting but I’m not sure how that works. Like, can it actually help with stress relief too? I’m open to your experiences!!! Would love to hear from those who’ve tried somatic yoga therapy and if it really helped for long-term issues?? I feel like I’m at a crossroads here.
