Welcome to Yoga Somatics

Alyson Wish | Yoga Somatics

Clinical Somatics Exercise Coach

Hi, I’m Alyson! 

Creator & Founder of Yoga Somatics Online, ex-dancer, and somatic movement practitioner for the last twenty years, I provide Yoga Alliance-approved Continuing Education trainings.

As a somatic guide, I work deeply with you to "Deconstruct and Reconstruct" physical and emotional muscle tension patterns to help you move your body with more freedom.

Get ready for nervous system hacks that fast-track strength and flexibility, vagal toning for down-regulation, and somatic release to dissolve root causes of pain.

A "vinyasa witch", my students look forward to strong, sweaty flows, nervous system regulation, fascia self-care, and no-stretch flexibility techniques. Carefully crafted sequences leave students with more knowledge, physically and emotionally.

Join specialized somatic yoga inspired on-demand and livestream courses, trainings, and Group Mentorships for dedicated yogis, movement lovers, and certified yoga teachers.

DHARMA

We cannot deny reality but we can influence the present.

I'll let you in on a secret: I never wanted to be a yoga teacher! But Life guides us toward our purpose—and yoga did that for me. A series of injuries in my mid-thirties redirected my heart’s passion, contemporary dance. Now, I inspire others to move using their soma, intuition, and creativity with science-based somatic movement, to unravel physical and emotional tension to live with more autonomy and personal freedom.

I live in Montréal, my hometown. I speak français, and I love outer space, dance, impressionist paintings, travel, nature, the planet, good espresso, and walks by the river no matter the Canadian weather.

Here’s the thing: somatic movement isn’t just about unraveling trauma.

It’s neuromuscular education—helping you develop a real relationship with your body. So you can move better, with more freedom, agility, creativity, and resilience.

Let’s talk about something that affects how you move every day—your muscles. Not just how strong they are, but how well they actually listen to your brain. That’s what Somatic Muscle Science is all about.

It’s the study of how your brain and nervous system control your voluntary muscles—the ones you move on purpose, like lifting your arm or stretching. Behind the scenes, your body runs a super complex communication network. When that system gets out of sync—because of stress, injury, or bad habits—you might feel stiffness, pain, or limited movement.

We dive into how your somatic nervous system works, including reflexes and muscle sensors, plus how your body can relearn better movement with tools like pandiculation—that natural stretch you do after waking up.

And the best part? These muscle habits aren’t permanent. We can retrain the brain to release tension and move more freely.

If you want to improve flexibility, ease pain, or just feel more at home in your body, Somatic Muscle Science is for you.

It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing smarter, working with your body, not against it.

Ready to move differently? Let’s dive in!
