myofascial unwinding feels so good!
Myofascial Unwinding is a soft and spontaneous movement technique that works specifically with the connective tissue and specifically superficial myofascial layers of your body’s tissues to increase sensations of fluidity, flexibility and profound relaxation in the body.
The process of Unwinding is unique to every person and is born from your own body’s regenerative potential. The movements we will explore can be used very effectively to release deep myofascial restrictions originating from unconscious habitual holding and bracing patterns from both emotional and physical events.
What is Myofascial Unwinding?
Connect and explore and RESTORE movement within your LIVING WEB of LIFE, the myofascial tissue (bindväv)… a continuum of soft tissue . .. floating in its own fluid . . . without beginning or end . . . that offers both freedom and containment to your entire anatomy.
You will learn 5 simple steps to the practice of yogaSOMATICS MYOFASCIAL UNWINDING that softly and gently helps to restore your myofascial/connective tissue to a state of healthy natural resiliency and more pleasure in the body.

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.
