TESTIMONIALS

  

“Within two days of somatic movement classes, I can already feel a shift in my energy and clarity. Immediate relief for my lower back ache. I literally feel like I am reconnecting with every joint and muscle in my body, and they are communicating back!”

“The last few months have been a particularly difficult time for me reaching a low rung of the ladder, losing the will for anything even small pleasures in life, which was hard for someone of general high energy. With the weight of everything I started suffering from chronic acidity over the last few months with burning heat coursing through my abdomen and body. It had become disabling, draining me of sleep, energy and appetite. The somatic yoga sessions have been a Divine intervention. From the early sessions it started to relieve the tension in my body, making me realise how physically tight and tense I’ve been holding myself for years. For a start I started to sleep better. Gradually on a deeper level, in the process of breathing with love, which Hina constantly instills in you during the sessions, it started to shift my regular breathing pattern outside the sessions. As a result it began to infuse with the energy in my daily actions which are becoming more conscious with a flavour of calm. As we progressed, I felt and feel this energy transfusing into my deeper layers. After many years of trying to understand self love, I am finally feeling glimpses of it. At that turning point, the acidity  started to reduce significantly, I am off the medication, sleeping better and my being is feeling calmer and finding it’s mojo again.. It is a work in progress and I am Eternally grateful to Hina. Thank you so much.”

“We were taught in an industry I worked in, to concentrate on the small things to make big changes. And that is what somatic yoga has helped me do – concentrate on the smallest, yet most important unit inside me – my breath as I go about my day. As Hina says, make your breath your best buddy! 

Just a few classes with Hina and I feel like I am revisiting myself subconsciously, as a person and a professional. I find myself approaching similar people/situations differently and only when this happened across all kinds of “things”, I realised that it wasn’t a coincidence that this difference started with my introduction to Somatic Yoga 🙏🏼so looking forward to the journey ahead!”

“I had what they call “long covid”, I was hospitalized for weeks and very, very sick. 

When I got discharged and back home everything that I could do pre covid, all those basic life skills i.e. walk, eat, sit, stand, read etc was now impossible for me. I could not walk, I could not sit up in bed, I had constant UTI’s, I had massive hair loss, I had such bad cuts in my mouth that I could not eat any spices. I had to have nurses living with me 24 hours per day, I had to even wake them at night, which I didn't like doing, but I had no way of getting to the washroom without them.

Sometimes I would have to go to the washroom 5 times per night.

I could not even take out tablets for myself, I couldn't even hold a glass of water and if I did the glass would fall out of my hands. 

I sent my reports to all the top Drs in Bombay, they all told me there was nothing they could do, and I would have to wait it out. I sent my reports to London, Drs there said post covid they cannot do anything, and that we should just wait. 

I met Hina through my niece, she assured me that I would get better and back to my normal self. She was right!

After the first session I started to feel better, I even started to go to the washroom independently, which I could not before, because everytime I would go I would fall. 

Now months later, I can even walk without help. I was on so much medication, which now, thanks to Hina, I don’t need anymore, even my own drs were baffled. They could not believe that at my age I would recover, and also be able to come off essential medicines. 

I can now walk, sit, read, go to the washroom alone, eat food, even pass food around, I can do my hair, all without any help!

I have also been using Hina’s organic essential hair oil and it has made my hair thicker, even her face cream has improved my skin texture. 

More than anything my mind has become much better than before. I was always someone who read a lot, I now read more and I can retain and recall the information better. My memory and concentration have experienced the positive effects of somatic movement. 

I am very grateful to the Lord that she came into my life when she did. 

She has supported me mentally & physically, I have a renewed love for life and a new love for my body!”

“I suffered from a slipped disc recently and after trying physio and all other ways to heal myself only to get more frustrated and still no respite in-sight !! 

Then a close friend introduced me to Hina as she too had suffered severely from a slipped disc. 

After only 4 sessions with her, I felt way better and pain free.

Somatics has had a miraculously healing effect on me!! 

Would highly recommend everyone to try it

“Reconnecting with myself starting with the smallest cells within my body. Communicating better with myself, my body and being able to take that outward and into the world. Not forcing outcomes but letting it flow- not pushing your body but understanding it better so it “reacts” better too. Definitely looking forward to taking this to the next level.”

~ N.B, Mumbai

“Experiencing somatic breathing and yoga with Hina has been life altering. For someone who can’t keep still for a second, at the end of every session I felt centered. I owed my body those two hours a week to just connect and focus and the sessions Hina lead us through gave me that. I recommend this class to anyone who wants to really feel a change.” 

~ R.S, Mumbai

“I was on antidepressants. All the Drs stressed to me that I must keep working out, cardio/weight lifting/yoga/walking. You name it, I was doing it. I didn't feel any better, but I just kept hoping that tomorrow would be a better day. The promise of tomorrow never came. The endorphins never kicked in as they said it would. Through over working I slipped my disc. 

A good friend had suggested Hina, and when she walked in, it was like an angel had landed in my room. Her calm presence, her reassuring touch, her gentle approach was everything I needed.

The one thing I also noticed with the breadth work we do during somatic movement is the way my bloating has reduced, I can eat a wider variety of foods and not have a dramatic reaction.  

I’m now off medication, have lost weight, and live pain free

Hina’s magical approach changed my life by having me authentically connect through conscious loving movement.”

‘I never understood how to love my body, until I met Hina’ 

~G.B, Mumbai

‘I was very skeptical, I’m a sports guy, lifting and fast movements is my go to.  

However, by my 2nd session I started to see dramatic shifts in my body pain, I felt physically stronger & my chronic intense anxiety dissipated.’ 

~ S.S, Mumbai

‘I attend a professional dance training program for 15 hours per week. Hina calms my mind, heals my body and aids in my flexibility’ 

~A.S, Mumbai

“I am a travel designer and I believe I am a decent enough artist too :) 

I believe in slow travel and going with the flow in order to connect with the world around me. 

I was keen on trying somatic movement, I knew about it vaguely. But in just two days with Hina, I have traveled inward, connected with my muscles, joints, nerves, the whole galaxy within my body. My mind is ‘defogged’, my whole system has learned to slow down and cool off (it’s true, I don’t necessarily need to turn on the AC). And I am now truly understanding what somatic movement is all about.  

We are all in such a hurry, all the time. “We pass through things without truly inhabiting them, talk to others without really listening, and gather information that we never get to delve into. Everything transits in a noisy, vehement, and ephemeral gallop. In reality, the speed at which we live prevents us from truly living.” And we are doing the same with our bodies in an impatient bid to lose weight, get fit, etc. If we want to reclaim

Our relationship with time and this ourselves and the world around us, it is so important to listen and connect to your body, every little part of it. 

And slowing down with somatic movement is the key.”

 ~N.B, Mumbai

I suffer from anxiety and stress. Sometimes the effect would be too intense - I would feel breathless and panic. The effects were also physical, where I would feel paralysed and afraid. 

I started the somatics yoga course about 3 months ago. The practice has helped me gain control of my mind and my body. Slowly I was able to control my breath and use it to calm myself. Regular exercise and stretching has loosened up the tension regions in my back, neck and shoulder region. I now have a better understanding of myself and my body. I highly recommend the practice of somatics yoga, it has really brought me peace of mind.

 A S Mumbai

For the last 25 years I have been busy being a working professional, Mom, Wife, daughter in law, & daughter. At times overwhelmed and with little or no ‘Me Time”. So this year, I took some time off to connect with the Me that I have overlooked over the years. During this journey to connect with myself I was introduced to Hina Sampat .

I did not come to Hina for treatment or relief from any physical pain or illness. 

Initially, I was curious as to how somatic healing would help. 

I was in for a very pleasant surprise.

Every session with Hina has made me feel relaxed and rejuvenated. After every session I feel happier, calmer & have started sleeping much better. I can feel a positive shift in energy and its impact on my daily life. When she says “Inhale and feel the happiness spread”, I feel my body & mind are filled with joy & light. 

In reality I could not have found a better way to connect with myself & be one.

I have been doing lots of physiotherapy, off and on and till recently I was doing pain management also under local anesthesia. My sister, who had long covid and she recommended Hina, as she had been so unwell she could not walk. She now walks again without assistance.. 

I have always struggled with my immunity

My birth was tough, and I had two difficult births for my sons. I have a heart condition, osteoporosis, and addison's disease, & consistent UTIS. I then suffered from a coma and due to this I developed IBS. My IBS is now under control thanks to Hina and I have reduced all my medinces. If I ever have body pain I recover much faster than before thanks to Hina. 

Since I started healing sessions with Hina for more than one year now I have not been admitted in the hospital and I am getting much better but slowly as with my huge history I knew from the beginning that it will take a long time, so of course I am being very patient, I also went to meet her personally in Mumbai.

The best thing about Hina’s healing session is just before the end of the session she puts us to rest and this is such a peaceful time that we go to sleep and she wants us to rest as long as we can and this rest helps us heal faster.
