Somatic Shake is a 20-hour experiential training in somatics, shaking and embodied facilitation.

Designed for yoga and movement teachers, coaches, wellbeing practitioners and facilitators who want to creatively and safely integrate somatic principles and shaking into their offerings, as well as students who want to deepen their personal understanding and practice of these modalities.

At the heart of the training is a shift from directing bodies to facilitating embodiment.

Rather than simply telling or showing students what to do, you’ll learn how to create conditions that invite curiosity, agency, sensation and self-trust, empowering people to listen and respond to their own bodies.

The training combines theory, personal embodiment, facilitation practice, reflection and a final practicum.

The Six Learning Pillars

1. Foundations of Somatics
Understand what somatics is and what makes a practice somatic. Explore body awareness, sensation, interoception, exteroception, proprioception and the shift from directing the body to listening to it. From doing to being.

2. Nervous System Awareness & Resilience
Build foundational nervous-system literacy for embodied facilitation. Understand and explore the window of tolerance, regulation, resourcing, orienting, pacing and agency to build more resilience.

3. Shaking as Somatic Practice
Experience shaking as a pathway into sensation, expression, release, movement and embodied awareness. Explore different qualities of shaking, rhythm, intensity, voluntary movement, spontaneous impulses, stillness and integration, while learning how to offer shaking without forcing a particular experience or outcome.

4. Somatic Language & Cueing
Learn to guide without prescribing. Explore invitational language, inquiry, imagery, sensation-based cues, permission, agency, silence and ways of communicating that strengthen relationship with the body.

5. Embodied & Transformational Facilitation
Move from performance to presence. Explore facilitator embodiment,holding space, reading and responding to a group, creating safer containers, adapting in the moment and supporting meaningful experiences without trying to manufacture transformation.

6. Musicality & Experience Design
Learn to weave the other five pillars into a coherent experience adding your own creative magic.
