Somatic Yoga ~ Grounding Mindful Movement to Calm the Nervous System

Welcome to this 20 minute Somatic Yoga flow, filmed in the peaceful Himalayan hills near the forest village of Pulga, Himachal Pradesh, India. This sequence blends the inner sensing of somatic yoga with the grounding shapes of traditional Hatha postures, inviting you to move with presence, curiosity, and care. The light-hearted energy of Gora — a gentle stray dog who lives nearby — makes an appearance in the opening minutes of this video. His quiet companionship has become a regular feature of these mountain practices, reminding us to stay soft and rooted in the moment. Set on the land of a family-run ashram, hosted by kind souls from Haryana, this video captures the deep stillness and earthy beauty of Himalayan village life. Here, the wind moves through pine trees, clouds shift across peaks, and the land itself invites you to slow down and ground. About This Practice This somatic yoga flow is designed to calm the nervous system, open the body gently, and bring you into a steady, grounded presence. We honour traditional asana shapes, but stay closely tuned in to sensation, breath, and how each movement feels from within. It’s a grounding flow — supportive for times of stress, anxiety, overthinking, or disconnection — that invites you back into your body as a safe and steady home. What’s Included: Grounded floor-based movement: Brahmanaka (Sufi Grinds): spiralling circles to release the lower spine and pelvis Cat movements forward and back: feeling the spine wave and breathe with rhythm Thread-the-needle: softening into the shoulders and releasing upper back tension Fluid lunge sequence: Low lunge with twist: opening hips and spine through breath-led movement High crescent lunge: rising with steadiness and control, supported by the ground Warrior II: embodying quiet strength and grounded presence Peaceful Warrior & Side Angle Pose: creating space through the side body Downward Dog: lengthening and resting in connection to breath and earth Integration and rest: Return to the mat for a gentle release, closing in savasana with full awareness of the breath and body Why Somatic Yoga? In this approach, we bring the mindfulness of somatic movement into the structure of Hatha yoga — exploring shapes not to achieve a perfect form, but to sense more deeply into the layers of each posture. We allow space for natural pauses, subtle shifts, and breath-led transitions. This style supports the parasympathetic nervous system — helping your body shift from fight-or-flight into rest, repair, and regulation. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or tense, this practice offers a quiet doorway back into body, breath, and being. Practice Tips: Move slowly and follow sensation — not every pose will look the same day to day You can rest at any point — this is about feeling, not performing No props are required, but feel free to sit on a cushion or blanket if helpful Stay connected to your breath, and let it guide the pace of your practice This sequence is perfect for any time you want to reset, reconnect, and feel more at home in your body. Just 20 minutes of mindful movement in nature can make a real difference to your inner state — softening the edges and helping you come back to your centre.
