The somatic wisdom tradition

The somatic wisdom tradition is the name given to the long historical accumulation of body-based teachings. Many ancient practices, such as yoga and meditation, have treated the body as a field of awareness and development. Modern somatic approaches bring these old wisdoms together with contemporary science. This tradition reminds us that the idea of the body as a source of knowledge and development is not new. Humanity had discovered the value of working with the body long ago.
