Anastasija Katcyna

Anastasija is a multifaceted Somatic Therapist/Educator & Yoga teacher. Her work is inspired by many body-oriented modalities such as Breathwork, Katonah Yoga & Dance Therapy. After her Master’s Program in Public Health (Scotland, UK) she decided to leave a conventional viewpoint towards wellness. Her exposure to Dance & Movement Therapy motivated the study of well-being through the lens of Somatics, Polyvagal Theory, and Embodiment. Today, she continues to fortify her knowledge with the Somatic Experiencing method. Her main focus is on feeling safe in the body and relating to the Nervous system through body sensation. Anastasija’s sessions are an amalgam of somatic inquiry, expressive arts, mindfulness and education. 

The body is the most accessible and versatile material to create a dialogue with oneself. It’s a map, a navigation toward well-being. The body helps to find what is hidden and loudly silent, what wants to be alive and free. The practice is a way to see how one lives in a personal house. With practice, we learn to organize ourselves better, be healthier, recognize old paradigms, create new pathways, see a higher vision, and live a joyful life.

  • Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a body-based approach that helps people heal from stress and trauma by working directly with the physiology of trauma and the nervous system. It teaches how to listen to your body, build resilience, and find balance.

    By gently exploring physical sensations and emotions, SE helps release stored tension, easing anxiety, overwhelm, and other modern-day struggles. This method empowers people to self-regulate and heal from difficult experiences, whether they’re from the past or ongoing challenges.

  • Katonah Yoga is a fluid blend of classical Hatha Yoga with Taoist theory, sacred geometry, esoteric principles, metaphor and imagination that provides the framework for radical embodiment. More info https://www.katonahyoga.com/

  • Breathwork is a journey to the core of your emotions and subtle layers of your unconscious self. Breathwork is a set of various breathing exercises to improve mental, physical, and emotional health. Originating from Eastern practices and incorporating Western therapeutic techniques to enhance self-awareness, Breathwork can include elements of talk therapy, breathing exercises, expressive arts, music, and touch. The breath is a bridge between conscious and unconscious. By connecting to our breath, we create a space to release what we’ve been holding onto, engage with our past, and move closer to our true selves. Conscious breathing helps to metabolize old wounds, move unprocessed emotions, achieve mental clarity, access inner creative resources, and connect with the Self.
