About the classes
Ancient wisdom meets modern psychology
This current age of psychology is most certainly somatic in nature. It's both ancient and emerging — a modality proving distinctly helpful for people seeking to change unhelpful coping strategies, regulate emotions, reconnect with their body and authentic self, or heal from complex trauma.
The work involves combining certain physical practices with consciousness expanding ones. In trance-like states of deep embodiment, the body reveals an innate wisdom, that can guide us toward profound relaxation, and will spontaneously complete, release or integrate stuck, immobilised survival responses.
These practices cultivate peak states that create lasting transformation and deep healing. Yet doing this sacred work in community with like-minded others brings a whole other level of richness, with the deep sense of connection and belonging it provides.
Because somatic work is not a one size fits all, Ādarśa is aiming to diversify the work, by offering an Ouroboric, high activation class and a Lotus gentle, regulatory class.

Ouroboric Classes
High Activation
Designed for those experiencing hyperarousal — anxiety, restlessness, racing thoughts, hypervigilance, and difficulty relaxing. These dynamic sessions provide a safe container to discharge excess energy through vigorous movement, breathwork, and cathartic release.
Good for:
Lotus Classes
Gentle Regulation
Created for those in hypoarousal states — shutdown, dissociation, numbness, fatigue, and depression. These nurturing sessions gently awaken the system and gradually build capacity for feeling and presence.
