BEINGNESS through the BODY . . . 

Movement, breath, gesture,  touch , glance, feeling and thought . . .



YogaSOMATICS is an experiential practice of getting to know oneself through life movements, here on Earth, here in a body, here with thoughts and emotions, here relating with each other.  Here as-we-are.

An alchemy of ancient yogic and tantric practices with modern somatic methods, YogaSOMATICS is a dedicated space for making inner contact with one’s self through aware movement/asana, breathing, relaxation, mindfulness, meditation and contact bodywork

Somatic movement is sensed and shaped from within, without dependency on an outside form or authority.  Yoga is ‘union’ or that which reunites us with wholeness, that which has never been separate.    YogaSOMATICS, a return to the knowing of wholeness, through one’s own life movement, in a first-person relational experience.

With 25 years of practice in traditional and tantric yoga and somatic studies, ATEEKA shares a yoga that is immediate, fluid and experiential. 

She is the founder of YogaSOMATICS: a healing and meditative movement approach infused with tantric wisdom, meditation and modern somatic approaches. Her open-hearted style of teaching encourages the innate intelligence of the one’s own body and felt-sense to emerge its own unique and natural way.

She has written the book: LOVE IS UNDER MY SKIN: Experiments in Living Yoga.

Written to inspire rather than instruct, Ateeka shares a new vision for yoga that synthesizes the timeless wisdom of tantra with modern somatic and healing techniques guiding the reader towards a profound awareness of what it means to be part of a living universe. 

Love is Under My Skin is a deep and poetic investigation of the healing potential that thrives within the bio-movement roots of yoga postures, breath-work and deep relaxation. 


Up until the last year . . . when the world pandemic situation has changed everything, Ateeka had been traveling internationally to share her innovative perspective of YogaSOMATICS and Somatic Bodywork.  Now, with travel restrictions . . . she is curious about how we adapt, remain flexible, meet in new ways also through online/digital formats. She loves living close to nature with her partner Ola and some clever little companion animals in Norway and Sardegna.
