Great guide
I am a teacher of yoga, and I bought this book to help me recover from foot surgery in December. Because I couldn't do my regular practice for a couple of months, these exercises gave me emotional peace, presence and kept me in some mode of yoga. I plan to incorporate these somatic concepts into my teaching style in the future.

Practical, do almost anywhere, stress relieving techniques and exercises
I’m impressed with this book about Somatic exercises that will help me regulate my nervous system. It’s one thing to go to physical therapy and learn some of the same exercises found in this book to strengthen muscles. Still, it’s another, entirely different spin when you use those same exercises to release stress and strengthen emotional resilience. The information that makes up the bulk of the book educated me in understanding why and how my body holds onto emotion and stress, and also how to identify if I’m still holding onto heavy weights from the past. I’ve already used a couple of techniques and exercises to improve the way I deal with stress at work. I’m excited to let go of so much more to gain myself again.You’ll love this book if you’re looking for detailed, guided, illustrations, and pictures of how to perform different exercises, but especially the information about what you do with your mind while performing these techniques. That’s the important part. I’ve been doing many of these exercises for years yet haven’t gotten the results that I’ve noticed since reading this book and following the advice.This book is effective as an ebook, but the paperback would be the better purchase so you can view the images easier.

Insightful and exciting
What a lovely book. I enjoyed reading it and learning new practical ways to heal my anxiety and panic attacks. The exercises are great, and there are many to choose from. It's a book I use daily as part of my exercises to be less reactive and reduce anxiety and panic attacks. I use this book for somatics. I also practice heart coherence and vagus nerve resetting.

somewhat useful
Much of the information in this book I already knew and certainly not as profound as the author seems to think I have had spine and nerve issues for many years and really this book was not that helpful I did find one stretch in it that I have incorporated into my life however overall can only say I did not find it to be overly helpful and certainly not what the author seems to think or want to promote can only say if you are having the types of issues that have you looking at this type of book then maybe buy it because the price is not bad and maybe you will find something useful for you.

Somatic Healing
I just got this book and it looks very readable, easy to use and helpful. I have done this work and have given people the idea that this works, and this is a good road map. I haven't done enough with it yet to give a full review, but they asked, so here it is.

Very informative, yet concise
This is an excellent book for someone who is interested in starting to incorporate somatic practices into their lives. The author shares her own healing journey and explains how somatic practices positively impact the nervous system to keep you in a regulated state. I highly recommend
