Somatic practises include any mindful activity that involves also physical movement and/or awareness. This can include traditional practices such as yoga and meditation or specific balance exercises, focused movement and incidental exercises such as nature walking and sporting activities.

Enrolment grants you lifetime access to each course and you are encouraged to return to lessons and practices as often as you like. Nervous system work benefits from repetition and integration over time.
How long does it take to complete a course?
Our courses vary in length, with more hours required as you delve deeper into somatic theory and training. The foundational Certified Somatic Release Facilitator course (CSRF) is designed to take just 15 hours, and can be completed in a weekend or at your leisure.Â
