Somajna
The Wisdom of The Body
We love stories!
We love stories for how they move, and inspire us to think, and act in new ways. On this page, we are happy to share some of our own stories, and stories that have moved us.
Somajna Stories are experiences of our clients and more specifically, how they have found their own Somajna, their body wisdom to illuminate their path. All the stories of our clients have been shared with permission from our clients.
If you are curious about the body of knowledge that informs our work, we invite you to browse through our blogs, where we explore topics related to embodiment, team coaching, organizational culture and more!
