Can Yoga be as Therapy?

Some of us don’t know that Psychosomatics have close connection with conscious movement through yoga.

Many of us who’ve walked the path of therapy already know that the body remembers.
It stores trauma, unprocessed emotions, suppressed reactions. And through the body — gently, respectfully, without force — we can begin to release what’s been frozen inside for years.

Conscious movement isn’t just stretching or exercise.
It’s an invitation into deeper self-connection.
Asana, breath, and awareness — these tools create a safe space for emotional and nervous system regulation.

Try these practices that support emotional release:

🖇️Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle Pose): softens the belly and pelvis — areas often holding fear and shame. Stay here for about 5 mins.

🖇️Cat-Cow (Chakravakrasana) with breath: invites gentle spinal release and unwinds stored tension. Take around 6 cycles of cat-cow.

🖇️Guided Savasana with visualization: gives the body permission to let go of what words couldn’t express. Works best if you stay here for about 5 mins or more and let your teacher guide you.

🖇️Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing): balances the nervous system, easing anxiety and mental overload. Take around 12 cycles of this breath.

Each conscious movement is a chance to rewrite old thought patterns, build new neuron connections,to shift from survival mode into a state of presence.
