There is no getting away from the stress of everyday life - it is something we all have to navigate in some way.  The biggest act of self care you can give yourself is the ability to be connected with yourself and your body.  Somatic practices take us on a journey of self discovery and help us create a life that is more enriching, through movement that nourishes not punishes, through movement that pulls tension out of our bodies and can reduce stresses strains and pains.  The by product of this is a feeling of calmness and peace, deeper connection and more self confidence.  We were not built to do but to be and to have a way to really look after ourselves instead of beat ourselves up, and to be connected with out needing to compete or be better than ourselves or others brings us into peace, alignment and holistic wellbeing.
