Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to healing and personal growth that recognizes the body as an essential source of information, regulation, and wisdom.
Rather than focusing only on thoughts, stories, or analysis, somatic therapy works with physical sensations, nervous system responses, posture, breath, movement, and felt experience. The premise is simple but profound, our bodies hold experiences - especially stress and trauma - and healing happens when the body is included in the process.
Who is this for?
This work is for people who carry responsibility - for others, for systems, for outcomes - and are ready to relate to leadership differently.
In sessions and classes at Selah, you are not asked to perform, push, or improve yourself. You are invited to slow down, listen, and build trust with your body as a source of guidance.
Through somatic therapy, you’ll learn to notice how stress, urgency, and expectation live in your body — and how to create more space, choice, and ease in real time. This isn’t about fixing or forcing change. It’s about increasing your capacity to stay present, even when things are complex or uncertain.
And yoga? What if I’m not good at yoga?
Yoga at Selah supports this process through gentle movement, breath, and stillness. The practice is accessible and responsive, designed to help your nervous system settle and integrate what you’re learning somatically. Over time, yoga becomes a way to practice rest without collapse and strength without tension.
Participants often experience:
Greater clarity in decision-making
Increased ability to respond rather than react
A deeper sense of internal steadiness
More sustainable energy in work and relationships
This work doesn’t ask you to step away from leadership. It helps you inhabit it differently - from a regulated, resourced, and embodied place.
