🌿 Health Hack: Somatic Workouts – Tune Into Your Body 🧘

Today’s health hack was one of last year’s most googled fitness trends: Somatic Workouts.

Unlike traditional workouts focused solely on form and strength, somatic exercises prioritize your internal experience during movement, offering:

• 🧠 Mind-Body Connection: These workouts focus on your internal experience during movement, harmonizing physical and emotional well-being.

• 🌀 Emotion Release: Based on Thomas Hanna's insights, they slow down exercise to help release repressed emotions and stress.

• 🌈 Versatile Practices: Incorporate yoga, breathwork, or conscious movement, emphasizing feelings over form.

• 🕊️ Self-Discovery: Each session is a journey in self-awareness, helping you understand and respond to your body's signals.

Slow, conscious movements, yoga, or breathwork are all great choices to try this practice out.
