Yin Yoga and Somatic Experiencing Workshop by Can Bora (2 hours)

In the beginning of this workshop, Can will provide some short theoretical knowledge about somatic experiencing by putting emphasis on the tension between the mind and the sensorial body. We'll answer the following questions: "How exactly do we process in life, how do we perceive our experiences?" Based on our own experience or on our own mental storytelling? This workshop is designed to show alternatives of “how can we truly live in our bodies”. For that reason, the somatic practices as tools of self-care and creativity which will be experienced during the workshop will help us to rebuild our “healthy individuality” with ourselves and with life. Following this, we will do a long yin yoga session to embody somatic experiencing more deeply to regain our self-intimacy, in other words, to strengthen the connection with our own resources.
