Marie Williams Yoga
Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist Norwich
I'm Marie, I offer embodied yoga classes and somatic therapy to help you come into connection with the somatic intelligence of the body as a way of processing, integrating and self-regulating your body-mind system.
What Do I Offer?
Yoga Therapy is a somatic therapy for those seeking a holistic and integrative mind-body approach to health and wellbeing, and is a trauma-informed therapeutic approach.
About My Journey
I've been teaching yoga full time since I completed my first yoga teacher training in India in 2018. Since then, I have continued to deepen my knowledge and understanding of the depths of the body far beyond the physical. I have trained in various different disciplines of yoga, therapeutics and somatics; bringing all of this together into my unique teaching approach and therapeutic offerings.
During 2020-2023, I studied Yoga Therapy with The Minded Institute in London. I graduated from their 3 year ‘Professional Diploma in Yoga Therapy’ in January 2023. I now share Yoga Therapy in Norwich (and online) with individuals who wish to see me for private Yoga Therapy, to address mental or physical healthcare needs. As well as offering therapeutic classes to closed groups with shared needs.
Somatic Yoga Classes
As a facilitator, I offer somatic and embodied yoga practices.
Through this approach we explore the interconnectivity with the body through explorations of movement and a growing awareness. Classes guide us to connect with the internal landscape of the body and emphasise sensing, feeling, and moving from this attunement; learning to tune in to the body’s subtle cues and release patterns of tension or holding. This style of practice encourages movement to arise more organically from a deep internal awareness, enabling the body to flow more naturally and freely — moving in ways that are true to your unique inner rhythm. This approach fosters a creative exploration of movement that allows for authentic self-expression.
Somatic Therapy
As a somatic therapist, I am here to support you on your personal journey of embodied healing from pain, suffering or trauma.
I will help you to understand the language of your own body and help you feel more able to self-regulate your nervous system in response to what challenges you and disrupts your capacity to experience balance; health, happiness and safety. This work will result in improving your overall health and wellbeing and help to eliminate symptoms of a dysregulated nervous system as a result of ill health, stress or trauma.
“I cannot recommend Marie’s work enough. She is so knowledgeable, and takes a compassionate, validating and non-judgemental approach to therapeutic work, making her clients feel safe.”
