The method

Somatic Flow Yoga combines accessible yoga with principles from somatic therapy and nervous system regulation.

The difference is in how we move: within each pose we repeat the same movement in a calm rhythm, synchronised with your breath. No quick transitions, but wave-like movements that give your body time to land and integrate.

The session

A session is not a series of exercises you perform. It is training for your nervous system: learning to shift between activation and rest, between doing and feeling. Every class follows the same four phases, so your body knows what is coming and can go deeper through the layers.

  1. Phase 1

    Arriving

    We start with your breath. Feeling where your body is today.

  2. Phase 2

    Warming up

    Gentle joint mobilisation and activation. Your body wakes up.

  3. Phase 3

    Moving

    Rhythmic, breath-led poses that build strength and mobility. Wave-like movements in the same pattern, a little further each time, because your nervous system reads repetition as safety.

  4. Phase 4

    Deep relaxation

    10 minutes of guided body scan, carried by singing bowls and tingshas. Your nervous system gets the space to integrate what your body has just learned.

Who it is for

  • You want to get stronger, but also more relaxed
  • You sit a lot for work and want to turn tension in your back, neck or shoulders into freedom of movement
  • You experience stress and are looking for tools you can also use outside class
  • All levels are welcome. The intensity is adapted to your level.

What others experience

Over the past few years I have practised yoga, different forms of meditation and sound healing, and attended several retreats and workshops. Médéric's sessions were simply fantastic. His approach is clearly experiential as well as philosophical and practical. Highly recommended.

It was a pleasure to attend Médéric's sessions! The combination of yoga, meditation and singing bowls is a powerful way to move from head to heart and connect with your inner world. Médéric guides you perfectly through his exercises with his calming voice.

I had the honour of taking yoga classes and guided meditations with Médéric. His personality and way of thinking inspired me in many different ways. I was amazed how easily I entered a meditative state just by listening to his voice. The yoga classes I received from him felt grounding, connecting and challenging all at once.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need yoga experience?

No, all levels are welcome. My focus is on how you feel, not on perfect poses.

How is this different from regular yoga?

In most yoga you move from pose to pose. In Somatic Flow Yoga we stay longer with each pose. Not by holding still, but by rhythmically repeating the same movement on your breath. That predictable repetition helps your nervous system shift from alertness to rest.

Three principles make the difference:

  • The breath leads the movement. You don't move and breathe along, your breath sets the movement in motion.
  • Regulation first, then mobility. We make sure your nervous system experiences safety before we go deeper. That is why most people become more flexible here than in yoga where they push harder.
  • Repetition as a calming signal. A predictable rhythm signals to your nervous system that it can let go.

Every session ends with 10 minutes of deep relaxation.
