Satya
Somatic Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement
Unlock Fluidity, Ease, and Deep Awareness
in Your Practice.
SATYA are movements that complement asana training. Yoga students and teachers, mind-body therapists and people in the healing arts benefit from this training.
Yoga is a process of remapping the body’s energetic field and aligning it with the greater force of the universe. In order to heighten awareness and increase physical vitality, we utilize slow movements, practiced in isolation and without force.
In SATYA, we practice fine articulated movement, designed to build somatic intelligence, proprioceptive awareness and neuroplasticity. The SATYA movements replenish the body by soaking the tissues. Done mostly on the floor, SATYA involves sliding, gliding, stretching and unwinding movements. SATYA serves to reduce fatigue, pump the viscera and align the vertebral column.
Whether to restore your own body or to learn the key principles of the SATYA practice for the classroom, this course is a journey through the sensorimotor system. Practicing the SATYA movements brings mobilization to the joints and bi-lateral symmetry to the right and left sides of the body.
Learn the importance of spirals and counter spirals; how to work with the tendons, ligaments and joint spaces; the importance of not-doing or being in the Pause; how gravity can be your friend; how to reeducate the neural-muscular system and brain pathways; how to ride the edge through small movements; the healing potential of the movements and their effects on the myofascial system and more!

SATYA 1:
It is time to open up a whole other dimension of movement. SATYA will add depth and somatic sophistication to your practice…and it is so healing. Designed and developed by Tias Little after 30 years of education, practice, study, and research, SATYA is a somatic practice that builds mindfulness through movement.

SATYA 2:
Once you have felt the power of SATYA you will want to continue to soak in further. Here you will learn more complex sequencing, more nuanced variations of movement, and more about the physiological benefits. For those wishing to integrate SATYA into their teaching, SATYA 2 and 3 are a must. In this course, you will learn how to design SATYA sequences and assist movements to facilitate greater myofascial release.

We specifically review SATYA’s effects on the autonomic nervous system and how SATYA can heal trauma in the body. Much focus is given to working with the neck, cranium, eyes, and inner ear. Students will learn how to utilize SATYA therapeutically with individual clients.

Unlock Fluidity, Ease, and Deep Awareness in Your Practice.
SATYA is about gliding, sliding, slow, deliberate, undulating breath. It is movement that nourishes and sustains. We designed this unique approach to cultivate ease, joy, and flow in the body.
Inspired by a fusion of dance, yin yoga, Feldenkrais, and myofascial release, SATYA is a somatic practice that enhances your connection to movement and breath.
SATYA is not just movement—it is a path to greater somatic intelligence, injury prevention, and deeper mind-body awareness.
Whether you’re a yoga student, teacher, mind-body therapist, or part of the healing arts, SATYA provides an invaluable practice to refine your inner listening and unlock new dimensions of perception and sensation.
