Embodied Release – Somatic Practice & Embodied Movement

Embodied Release (ER) is a holistic, body-based practice founded by Tiziana Longo. Inspired by Somatic Experiencing, Tension and Trauma Release Exercises (T.R.E.), Butoh, dance, and somatics, the practice invites participants to explore movement, sensation, breath, and embodied awareness. 

 

At the heart of ER is a gentle somatic practice that encourages listening to the body rather than forcing change. Through breathwork, somatic movement, mindfulness, gentle mobilisation, and guided exploration, participants can develop a more conscious relationship with physical sensations and movement.

 

Tiziana's background in Butoh dance and contemporary performance brings an artistic dimension to Embodied Release. Butoh-inspired movement can open space for curiosity, imagination, and personal expression, allowing participants to explore the body beyond habitual patterns. 

The ER course include:

  • Safety and Support: A nurturing environment for exploration.

  • Community Building: Fostering connections among participants.

  • Holistic Integration: Combining breathwork, movement, and mindfulness.

  • Accessibility: Welcoming all backgrounds and abilities.

  • Personal Empowerment: Encouraging self-discovery and resilience.

What is special on ER (Embodied Release)?

The ER course is vital because these elements create a transformative experience for personal and collective healing:

​

  • Encourages Butoh: Promotes unique self-expression through emotional dance.

  • Enhances Embodiment: Helps participants reconnect with their bodies.

  • Fosters Somatic Listening: Cultivates awareness of bodily sensations.

  • Celebrates Joy: Frames movement as a joyful expression.

  • Integrates Fun: Makes healing enjoyable and accessible.​

ER integrates

  1. Butoh Techniques: Exploring emotional expression through movement.

  2. Somatic Exercises: Enhancing body awareness and connection.

  3. Breathwork: Utilizing conscious breathing for energy activation.

  4. Dynamic Alignment: Focusing on posture and movement efficiency.

  5. Gentle Mobilization: Engaging in part-by-part body movements.

  6. Mindfulness Practices: Cultivating present-moment awareness.

I came across Tiziana’s Embodied Release course about a year ago while looking for ways to regulate my nervous system. I have a lot of experience with talk therapy and work in the therapeutic field myself, but I wanted to explore something that would complement that work by engaging the body more directly.

Tiziana’s course was truly eye-opening for me. I often arrived carrying tension and a feeling of pressure in my chest, and each time I left with a deep sense of peace, calm, and inner balance.

The course also helped me grow as a dancer and supported me in developing a new relationship with my body and the way I move.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone who wants to reconnect with themselves, learn how to let go, and explore a mindful, body-based approach to self-regulation.
