Somatic Yoga
Somatic Yoga is based around the concept we can ‘feel to heal’ within our body.
Tuesdays 6.30pm
It is said by many great yogis that ‘our body is our vehicle to experience both life and healing.’
Somatic Yoga works with the Shakti element within the body – the feminine that is within us all. This means the yoga has many patterns of nature as its building blocks. We move in non-linear ways; waves, spirals, shaking, all the non-habitual movements unlike the methodical male methods of yoga we might be used to.
Somatic yoga is embodied yoga that strives to help you turn off the thinking mind so that you amplify your authentic energetic frequency that is deep within you and has been since the day you were born.
Somatic yoga is intuitive. You will be given a kriya and during some postures and repetitive movements you will practice interoception, deep listening, to be guided as to how YOU want to move.
Somatic yoga does not strive to tame the mind but to bypass the mind and instead, seeks to turn up the volume on felt sensation. When we feel, we heal.
A Somatic Yoga class will usually consist of a kundalini yoga informed kriya and the sometimes quirky, fun, rhythmic movements create a sense of wellbeing and joy alongside release of stuck energy. In the same way nature is self-healing, we can find the same deep peace and transformation through this yoga practice.
Your body yearns for both self-healing and for flow. To be a river flowing around stones, not stopped by obstacles on its path.
Intuitive Somatic yoga is the new paradigm for today’s hectic and sometimes horrid life. If you feel safe you can alchemise anything.
Trust the yoga mat, trust the movements, trust the body, trust yourself.

What do they say about Yogaspace Yorkshire?
I have been to many different yoga retreats both in the UK and overseas and this one was by far the best.
My advice? Book it now!
I have taken part in several Kundalini yoga classes during retreats at Patrick Brompton Hall and have loved all of them.
I was a novice to this particular yoga but the classes catered for all abilities and I was immediately made to feel comfortable.
I couldn’t have asked for a better start to my Kundalini yoga journey and I can’t wait to go back again soon!
The Women’s Group has been an amazing, welcoming, warm experience.
The positive energies and collective female wisdom has been brilliant – the thought provoking sessions followed by the yoga and final gong bath was the perfect balance – thank you Emma – and please can we do it all again!
Emma’s Kundalini classes are ‘first-class, a relaxed and professional atmosphere. Emma is fabulous teacher and really opens you to a new way of being while you show yourself self-love and care’
I want to do your yoga Nidra class again – I slept so well. Thank you.
I came on retreat and stayed at the cottages with my oldest daughter in June 2018 and January 2019.
Emma and Charlie are the perfect hosts they made us feel completely welcome in their beautiful home which sits in beautiful grounds surrounded by spectacular views of Yorkshire.
From the first moment of entering the beautiful hall, I knew this studio is something special. A light spacious yet so cozy and calm yoga space is hard to find. Relaxation comes naturally and yoga is so much more enjoyable in these beautiful surroundings. Emma is am amazing kundalini yoga teacher and divine when playing the gong. Her classes are challenging yet respect individual circumstances and make you feel so much better instantly. She is very knowledgeable, connects theory and practice with ease, is full of energy and positive spirit and a joy to be taught by. I truly love my kundalini yoga and gong sessions with Emma
Yoga at Patrick Brompton Hall is a very special experience.
The beautiful and peaceful yoga studio is the perfect setting for yoga practice.
To sum it up with one word: love. The best yoga retreat I have been to.
Amazing teacher, wonderful hosts, beautiful facilities, gorgeous surroundings, and delicious food.
Absolutely loved every bit of it
