Yoga combines postures (called asanas), breathing exercises (known as pranayama), and meditation to create a connection between your mind and body. Somatic principles include interoception, exteroception, and proprioception. These principles help build awareness in the following ways:
Interoception: Being aware of your body's internal sensations, such as your heart rate, breathing, and pain
Exteroception: Being aware of the environment, such as how hot or cold it is, vibrations in the floor, and other external factors
Proprioception: Being aware of your body's movement, balance, and position in space
The combination of these two types of movement help you to pay deeper attention to internal bodily sensations while moving. These techniques can also help unwind old physical and emotional habit patterns.
