A NOTE FROM OUR HOSTS
Chara Caruthers & Dr. Scott Lyons
Our deepest wish and belief is that we can, through our intention, expand our capacity to meet and be met. Through the intersection of yoga and somatics we can be guided home into ourselves, and arrive fully into the depths of what is present for us, in every moment. This inward connection is what empowers us to rise above and transform the pain and challenges in our life, to mend disconnection, and ultimately feel a belonging to ourself, to community, to the world.
Our vision for this summit is to support a growing movement and conversation that is happening between the ancient wisdom of yoga and the potency of somatics as a process of feeling an empowered freedom, ease, and a fullness to life, and deep healing.
We welcome you on this journey.
The Embodied Yoga Summit explores the intersection of Asana, Meditation, Breath Work & Philosophy with a multitude of Embodiment Technologies:
Body Mind Centering®
Hanna Somatics
Franklin Methods
The Alexander Technique
Embodied Flow™
Continuum
The Feldenkrais Method
Somatic Trauma Informed Yoga & Mindfulness
All within a safe space that supports connection, awakening, expression & freedom.

This unique online event melds the principles and techniques of Somatics, Embodiment and Yoga to help participants revitalise their practice and reconnect the mind-body.
What is embodiment and somatics and how do they connect with yoga?
The first way we experience the world is through sensing our whole body. It’s the most primal form of inner communication that directs all thought, feeling, and action. Soma means “the living body” and somatics refers to practices of being in dialogue with the living body. We explore these practices as a means to embody. To embody, means to manifest – to make visible, tangible, and real. Embodiment is a process of realizing each aspect of our self- feeling and experiencing its connection to the whole. As the unapologetic expression of that full self, embodiment can be understood as the antithesis of oppression.
We acknowledge that beneath the umbrella of the term “embodiment” are practices belonging to ancient lineages and traditions that have been appropriated by Western models. We are actively working to illuminate the origins of these practices as part of our commitment.
Through this summit we hope to make embodiment, somatics, and fundamental learnings in these domains accessible to a broad, global audience— making it easier to access supports for everyone in their embodiment journey.
Are you ready to actualise your full potential using movement, sensation and breath to discover your truest self?
You are welcome here.
As we dive into the depths of who and how you are during this 5-day summit, it is instrumental to know that you belong; that there are adventures waiting for you on your path to a more fulfilled existence; that you have a like-minded and nurturing community who will support your experience; that you are exactly where you’re meant to be.
Our objective is to create a safe and supportive collective space for the embodiment community to learn from one another, deepen their learning together, and easily find pathways of learning and certification to meet their personal and professional goals.
