Are you longing for a practice that goes deeper than traditional asana? Do you feel called to reconnect with your body, your creativity, and your intuitive wisdom? At Shambhala Yoga School, we invite you to an immersive 50-hour Somatic Movement & Meditative Arts course in the heart of Tenerife — a transformative experience that blends embodiment, creativity, meditation, and nervous system awareness.
Whether you’re a yoga practitioner, a yoga teacher seeking inspiration, or someone ready for a new chapter of self-discovery, this course offers a powerful path back to your body’s natural intelligence and expressive freedom.
What Is Somatic Movement — and Why Does It Matter?
Somatic Movement is a holistic approach that views the body as a living, intelligent system where emotions, sensations, and memories are stored. Instead of focusing on “perfect postures,” somatics invites you to move from within, to listen to your body, and to explore movement as a form of healing, expression, and connection.
Somatic practices can help you:
Release chronic tension and restore physical ease
Regulate your nervous system and reduce stress
Feel more grounded, present, and connected
Enhance your creativity and self-expression
Develop a more intuitive, sustainable yoga practice
This is yoga beyond the mat — deeper, kinder, more human.
What You’ll Experience During This 8-Day Training
Our Somatic Movement & Meditative Arts course combines experiential learning, creative exploration, and embodied practice in an intimate group of maximum 9 participants — ensuring personal attention, emotional safety, and meaningful connection.
Throughout the week, you will explore:
✨ Somatic & Embodied Movement
Guided sessions of somatic exploration, embodied yoga, intuitive dance, and movement meditation designed to reconnect you with your body’s wisdom.
🎨 Meditative Art-Making
Dive into expressive arts — visual art, poetry, journaling, sound, and movement — as tools for emotional release, creativity, and authentic expression.
🧘 Creative Meditation Techniques
Learn guided visualizations, imagination-based meditations, mind-FULL practices, and creative relaxation techniques to support yourself and your future students.
🌿 Nervous System Regulation
Discover somatic release tools, breathwork, grounding techniques, and nature-based practices that restore internal balance.
