Somatic practice comes from the Greek word soma, meaning living body. It describes the art of reconnecting with our inner sensations, the quiet signals that show how we truly feel.

Recently, I embarked on an Ayurveda Coach training program, and it has been an eye-opening journey into an ancient philosophy that views health not as the absence of disease but as a balanced state of body, mind, and spirit. Ayurveda, which comes from the Sanskrit words Ayus, meaning life, and Veda, meaning knowledge, literally translates to the knowledge of life. Originating over 5,000 years ago in India, it is one of the oldest holistic healing systems in the world.
