Somatic Yoga
A gentle, trauma-informed practice blending traditional postures with somatic awareness to sense from the inside out.
-
Somatic Yoga is a 60-minute, trauma-informed evening practice led by Ida, offered weekly at Prema Yoga in Milwaukie, Oregon, just minutes from Portland. Designed to support a gradual transition from the activity of the day into a space of quiet presence and inner awareness, this class weaves traditional yoga postures with somatic sensing and self-care, inviting you to experience each shape through sensation, awareness, and connection.
Each session is intuitively guided and shaped by the unique nervous system and bodycare needs of those present. You may experience elements such as mindful breath, meditation, sensory awareness, and at times self-touch or Reiki. Together, we create space for the nervous system to settle, for emotional and physical tension to release, and for the body to integrate the day’s experiences. By approaching familiar postures with curiosity and attention, we shift from simply “doing” poses to fully experiencing them through direct sensation and embodied awareness.
Through the practice, you are invited to explore:
• Connecting breath with movement to support nervous system regulation
• Using micro-movements to access the deep core and inner body awareness
• Taking traditional yoga postures deeper into sensing and embodiment
• Mindfulness and meditation to support emotional integration and relaxation
• Exploring gentle, nurturing therapeutic self-touchSomatic Yoga provides a restorative container for processing stress, nurturing embodiment, and cultivating presence.
