A 7-Module On-Demand Video Training
Explore somatic movement, awakening your chakras and cultivating processes you can return to time and again… to regulate your own health and wellbeing, and bring yourself into a state of rest, repair, and rejuvenation in any circumstance.  
 
To remain safe over the last 18 months, many of us have isolated ourselves from our loved ones, friends, and colleagues, and disconnected from most of the usual activities that were part of our daily experience.

Anxiety, fear, and insecurity have left many of us in a continuous state of fight, flight, or freeze… disconnected from our own bodies — both physical and energetic — and we’ve forgotten who we authentically are and how we fit into the world. 

Embodied motion holds an unparalleled power to reopen you and reinvigorate your wellbeing. Are you ready to reclaim your sense of vitality, and wholeness?

Join Gayatri Schriefer and Brian Siddhartha Ingle, founders of Living Somatics, as they guide you through the core strategies and principles of somatic movement…

… and share with you how conscious movement, focusing on your internal experience, can help you draw on your body’s innate self-healing ability to balance your energy system, regulate your nervous system, improve your immunity, and achieve inner peace and optimal health.

In Siddhartha and Gayatri’s unique method of Living Somatics, the primary focus is on finding ease and quality within movement — the form of the movement is secondary. Their simple yet potent practices will help you recognize and release holding patterns and chronic pain resulting from injury, stress, repetitive strain, and habituated posture.

This transformational course includes both experiential and cognitive wisdom, and will focus on the seven major energy centers (the chakras) along the central axis… dedicating one session to each chakra throughout the seven modules of the program. Each  energy center holds qualities that you’ll learn to enhance and activate in your body and your life.

Combining Somatic Movement & Vedic Astrology for Powerful, Sustained Personal Transformation 
In addition to working with the chakras, Gayatri and Siddhartha will bring in aspects of Jyotish (or Vedic astrology) through the use of lunar constellations, sensations, visualizations, and seed mantras.

Each chakra is associated with a planet, two astrological signs, and nakshatras, known as lunar constellations. Your nakshatra, which describes your personality and innate tendencies, is determined by the position of the moon the day you were born.

In each of the course modules, you’ll invoke one of the chakras, and the nakshatras and planet it governs, by embodying the qualities of these heavenly bodies through somatic exploration.

Combining these two approaches allows powerful healing to occur — helping you come back to your emotional intelligence and offering you a way to hear the internal feedback in your body more clearly — and act accordingly.

You’ll learn to cultivate healthy boundaries, accept and strengthen your sense of self, and accept others as they are.

Through the practices Siddhartha and Gayatri will guide, you’ll find quietude in your body and in your environment, so that stillness is always available to you. You’ll also discover how to balance your energy system, improve your immunity, and regulate your nervous system.

And, because of your increased level of embodiment, you’ll be able to perceive yourself with greater accuracy and clarity, so you can actualize your potential to a higher degree. 
 
In this powerful somatic-movement journey, you’ll discover:

• The core strategies and principles of somatic movement — and how focusing inward can calm and balance your energy and nervous systems
• How to ignite all 7 energy centers with movement and awareness for a profound personal transformation
• Ways to embody and understand your ability to self-heal and self-correct, empowering you to regulate your own health and wellbeing
• How to connect the 7 energy centers to your own felt experience
• A return to your somatic intelligence — your inner knowing and guide
• How to listen to the cues in your bodily systems, and use the internal feedback in your everyday life
• A movement practice for overall health, using the energy center that runs through your spinal cord
• Ways to create healthy boundaries… to say Yes to what’s good for you, and No to what’s unhealthy
• How to find the stillness and quietude that resides in both your body and the external world
• How to perceive yourself with greater accuracy and clarity, so you can better nourish yourself
• Strategies to heal stored grief so you can find balance and restore emotional freedom and peace
• How to actualize your potential to a greater degree
• And much more…
   
   

A deep well of self-care, self-love, and natural self-expression awaits you in this golden opportunity to awaken your innate self-correcting mechanism — a force that develops in each of us in utero, and heals us throughout our lives.

What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules
In this 7-part transformational intensive, Siddhartha and Gayatri will guide you through the fundamental skills you’ll need to cultivate somatic-movement practices you can return to time and again… to regulate your own health and wellbeing and live as your most actualized self.

This course will feature step-by-step teachings and experiential practices with Siddhartha and Gayatri. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to regulate your own health and wellbeing.

Module 1: Open Your First Energy Center for Support, Groundedness & Safety
The base of the root chakra is like a pilot light that fuels the other chakras. It represents our past and how it’s influenced who we are today.

You’ll begin this opening module by connecting with your base chakra. You’ll channel the primordial energy of the Earth to support you… and discover how to embody the qualities of groundedness.

In this somatic-movement lesson, you’ll focus on your feet, lower body, and pelvic floor, exploring the principles of both internal and external support — for comfort and natural alignment.

In this session, Siddhartha and Gayatri will guide you to:

• Ignite your pilot light (root chakra) and perineum through movement
• Internalize support and grounding from the Earth
• Own your skeleton and how it functions
• Balance your base energy center to promote a healthy relationship to material gains
• Build your sense of independence, stability, and integrity
• Lean into the wisdom of your ancestors
• Explore the role of Vedic astrology:With Saturn as the planet for this lesson — representing stability, responsibility, and hard work — you’ll begin to release what no longer serves you so you can focus on what’s most important
• With the sign Capricorn — which is focused, hard working, and has direction — you’ll begin cultivating a solid foundation to build upon
• The nakshatra is Purva Bhadrapada, whose forceful power is awakening within you — like an unstoppable electric current

 
Module 2: Discover Presence & Emotional Intelligence Through the Body
The somatic principle explored in this lesson is about attuning to sensations.

You’ll practice movements that have flowing, innocent, and childlike qualities. As Gayatri and Siddhartha guide you in sacral, hip, and pelvic movements, you’ll be encouraged to welcome and invite the playful, creative parts of yourself… and establish a relationship with them by listening to their voices and needs.

In this session, you’ll discover how to:

• Move from your pelvis and hips
• Be sensual and playful while moving
• Find your somatic center and recognize it as home
• Welcome and hold space as different parts of yourself emerge
• Identify your desires and discern what you need to achieve them
• Strengthen your capacity to express deep emotions
• Ignite your zest for life and the art of living
• Understand the role of Vedic astrology:With expansive Jupiter as the planet for this lesson — you’ll dive deeply into spirituality, philosophy, expansion, and truth by opening your sacral chakra
• With the sign Pisces, you’ll focus on peace, comfort, and what it feels like to have all your desires fulfilled
• The nakshatra is Purva Ashada, where the qualities of receiving, compassion, and connection to the world reside
   

Module 3: Embody the Fire Element Through the Power Center
The quality of the third energy center is power and autonomy. It’s related to the first house of Vedic astrology… which determines who you are, why you’ve come into the world, and how you want to be seen.

In this session, you’ll practice movements that initiate in your solar plexus to discover the power in your belly, so you can learn how to set boundaries. You’ll tap into your core needs to cultivate an awareness of what you do and don’t want, and when you have an authentic Yes or No.

The somatic principle explored in this lesson is about respecting your natural boundaries in movement — moving with integrity and executing the movement with optimal self-organization.

In this module, you’ll:

• Experience Pratikraman, a forgiveness practice from the Jain religion, to atone for past actions
• Use movement to connect to your innate nature and why you’re here on this planet
• Find your power center, learn to set boundaries, and say No when needed
• Explore the role of Vedic astrology:With the help of Mars as the planet for this lesson — representing the qualities of action, willpower, clarity, and courage (the exact qualities of the third chakra) — you’ll be inspired to make a change in your life
• You’ll also be working with the power of the Sun, which provides confidence, self-esteem, ambition, goals, and aspirations, all of which reside in your solar plexus
• With the sign Aries, you’ll enhance your enthusiasm, industriousness, courage, dynamism, ambition, inspiration, leadership, action-orientation, and pioneering spirit
• The nakshatra is Mula (or Shakti), which holds the power to ruin, destroy, and break things apart… AND opens you to your shadow side — the things you don’t want to see — confronting you with the truth about yourself
   

Module 4: Awaken Your Heart for Love, Peace & Wholeness
In this module, you’ll explore the area of your heart center — predominately the energetic heart, but the physical heart, as well. You’ll use movement, touch, sound, and visualization to ignite the heart center.

Considered the home of integration, love, compassion, forgiveness, and kindness, the lower and the higher energy centers meet in the heart region. You’ll learn how to access love — the governing force of the universe, and an infinite source of goodness, peace, and wholeness to fuel every area of your life.

Through an embodied-awareness and somatic-movement practice, Siddhartha and Gayatri will guide you to transform anxiety, fear, lack of confidence, and heartlessness into trust and the ability to love yourself and others. You’ll harmonize the cycle of giving and receiving and learn to trust your heart so you can have meaningful and enriched relationships.

The somatic principle explored in this lesson is about honoring your natural limits, learning to stay within a range of comfort and ease, and growing your capacity for self-love and self-honoring.

In this session, you’ll discover how to:

• Free the chest and release tension in your shoulders and upper back through a somatic-movement practice
• Experience a loving-kindness meditation, known as Metta
• Listen to your soma (body-mind) and respect your boundaries through a sustainable movement practice
• Increase your capacity to meet life from an open, trusting place
• Heal stored grief so you can find balance and restore emotional freedom and peace
• Find acceptance, trust, unconditional love, peace, and freedom
• Embody nonviolence (ahimsa) with yourself, others, and nature
• Access the power of vulnerability to enhance authentic, lasting connections in your life
• Experience empathic connection and divine presence
• Understand the role of Vedic astrology:With Venus as the planet for this lesson — representing love, relationships, and relating to others — you’ll cultivate a healthy heart chakra and increase your ability to love, communicate, and choose with wisdom the people you want to attract
• With the sign Libra — which represents beauty, the arts, and sensuality — you’ll discover how to find peace and maintain harmony with others
• The nakshatra is Pushya (“nourishing”) and will help you love others unconditionally with an open heart, always wanting to nourish and give
   

Module 5: Voice Your Divine Expression
In this module, you’ll use somatic movement to release the area of the neck, throat, and jaw… enabling the expression of your divine voice. If this area is blocked, you may lose your communicative power. Speaking up becomes difficult… or you might stop talking altogether.

Liberating the energy center in the area of the throat can reduce soreness in the throat, thyroid problems, hearing issues, and stuttering.

In this module, you’ll start to embody the noble truth of correct speech. To achieve purification at the level of communication, you need to become more aware of your true feelings, thoughts, and intentions… and develop a voice that reflects them. As you learn to calibrate this energy center, you’ll nourish a gentle and elevated way of communicating.

The somatic principle explored in this lesson is about finding your natural expression through movement… honoring your needs and acting in accordance with your sensory feedback.

In this session, you’ll:

• Experience a vocalizing practice with natural spontaneous movement
• Identify your authentic inner voice to express your emotions, values, and ideas
• Learn to guide yourself to higher levels of consciousness
• Find balance between listening and speaking, silence and expression
• Explore the role of Vedic astrology:Everything that pertains to the throat chakra relates to the planet Mercury, which represents communication, speaking, writing, and self-expression. With Mercury’s help, we become organized and more structured
• With the sign Gemini — representing the love of learning and sharing what you learn with others, the focus is on your intellect… which helps you debate more effectively with others about your beliefs
• The nakshatra is Ashwini, which embodies freedom and the vitality of the breath. As you cultivate these qualities, you’ll develop the power to heal and see your life challenges (and their quick solutions) with fresh eyes and humor
   

Module 6: Ignite Your Intuition Through the Third Eye
In this session, you’ll activate the sixth chakra by freeing the area of the eyes, face, forehead, skull, and neck. This energy center is associated with self-knowledge, intuition, clairvoyance, insight, and devotion.

The third eye represents the spiritual awakening of wisdom and hidden inner powers. By activating the pineal gland (the third eye), you stimulate open-mindedness, clarity, and certainty about your place in the world.

The third eye is also associated with space-time benders, travel into the past and future, telepathy, precognition, and the ability to tune into subtle energies.

The somatic principle explored in this module is about timing.

Siddhartha and Gayatri will help you:

• Free the muscles of your eyes, neck, and jaw through movement
• Learn the practice of intuition by working with the third eye
• Increase your visual thinking process, planning, and abstract thinking
• Activate your psychic perception and use your imagination to create
• Understand the role of Vedic astrology:The guiding forces for this lesson are the Sun, which is connected to your soul — and the Moon, which represents the mind and the intuition that’s connected to your soul… and can help deepen your capacity to nourish your soma — the nectar of life
• The nakshatra is Revati, where the qualities of endurance, forgiveness, and calm reside — you’ll learn to trust your path and your inner guide, and bring your intentions to completion
   

Module 7: Access Your Higher Self Through the Crown Chakra
In this closing module, you’ll connect all the energy centers you’ve addressed throughout the course and open the seventh center of universal consciousness.

This center has an ethereal, otherworldly feel to it. It enables you to know and feel that you’re connected to all living beings… and that you all come from the same source — the unified field.

This center is connected to jnana yoga, the yoga of knowledge. In Vedic astrology, it’s related to the 12th house, representing emancipation and renunciation — the part of yourself that wants to retreat from the world to be an ascetic, give up the relative existence, come home to your true self, and be secure around physical death and the eventual loss of your body.

The somatic principle explored in this module is about wholeness.

As this course comes to completion, you’ll:

• Experience a movement practice for overall health, using the energy center that runs through your spinal cord
• Begin to see Self in others
• Connect to your true blissful nature
• Feel how the physical body connects to the energy body
• Be guided in a meditation on the bioelectric field and the fluid body
• Connect with Divine Intelligence
