Testimonial

 I am incredibly pleased today to be able to share with you a testimonial from a very special client of mine. Words like hers continue to motivate and inspire me everyday. I am so happy to be on this journey and to be able to help people along the way. To anyone reading this, if you are in pain do read this and spark the change in your life today.

“When Hina walked into my life it was like an angel from somewhere beyond my imagination, silvery sparkly hair like a halo on her head. 

To heal.

To help. 

To connect. 

Connecting with the muscles in my body, connected me to the pain and stories that lay within every fiber of those muscles. 

I am often told to ground myself, but sometimes these pieces of free, have little meaning when you are in the middle of an ungrounded storm of sorts.

Grounding yourself is different for everyone.

I needed to ground myself in my body, to reach my pain and through intentional, slow, impactful movement through somatic yoga I could start to heal. 

Hina’s gentle, positive yet loving touch can heal even the most skeptical among us.

My pain felt like a birthing story. Literal contractions, legs raised and spread ready to deliver. Though I am not with baby. 

It is possible I am / was having a literal re-birth of myself. 

Hina is the doula I didn’t know my body needed.”

I am grateful for her kind and moving words. This journey with her has just begun, and as a life’s accumulation of trauma slowly starts to fade away I am excited to see how see blooms like a flower turning to the sunlight. Here’s a photo of her looking peaceful in between her somatics session with me. Notice how calm she looks. 

Quick Relief from Back Pain with Somatics

Have you been feeling back-pain regularly? Like your spine just doesn't feel ok anymore? Or your back just hurts all the time. Are you looking for relief? 

Then Somatics might be the right fit for you. Somatics uses the mind-body connection to help you listen to the signals your body sends about pain or discomfort. Even imbalances. This, in turn, allows you to know how your body holds on to these pain points.

But how are you getting back pain in the first place?

Most of us don't take the time to relax our muscles after any strenuous activity, so the muscles in our body learn to stay contracted. So to un-contract them, most forms of recovery try to strengthen, stretch, or adjust people out of back pain But the problem isn't in your muscles; it's in your brain, the part of your body that learns and unlearns everything. Even how you hold your body.

One very basic Somatics movement that can help aid this is the Back Lift. In the back lift, you move by slowly contracting your back, and then slowly lengthening into relaxation. This method is called pandiculation. It is a natural movement for all vertebrate animals like cats and dogs when they get up from rest. Doing the back lift brings your brain back into sensory and motor control of the muscles. 

Back pain can be healed through gentle Somatics. Here's a testimony from my client who I've worked with regularly:

I am sharing my experience with Somatic Yoga, as taught by a certified practitioner Hina Sampat.

Life was flowing normally until one fine day, my wife was suddenly in terrible and acute pain. Not knowing what had happened, we visited a couple of doctors. After consulting them, we came to know that her hip muscle had torn, and this was the cause of her immense pain. When your hip muscles tear, you can barely move around. My wife was  bedridden. Along with that, she was constantly feeling a sharp pain in her legs. Things looked bad.

We knew we had to fix this and relieve my wife’s pain. That is when my daughter-in-law suggested we consult Mrs. Hina Sampat. I already knew Mrs. Hina as she frequented our house to take Somatics sessions for my daughter-in-law, who was also showing great signs of recovery from her personal pain-points, but that is a story for another time. Mrs. Hina met my wife and could empathise with her condition. But more importantly, she knew exactly what would help her. She charted out a path of recovery which began with Daily Sessions. In two weeks her daily sessions , gradually but definitely, started making a difference. My wife can now get up without any support and move on her own. The progress has been incredible to witness. When Mrs. Hina started taking the sessions, my wife started using a stick to walk around. Two weeks in, she can walk around the house with zero support. Her back pain has considerably reduced as well.  My wife will continue taking her sessions and surely seeing further improvements.

Hina Sampat's dedication and commitments to cure my wife are praiseworthy. I wish her every success in promoting Somatic Yoga for all those who need it as a cure as well as for healthier beings to avoid any future health problems. Prevention is better than cure!
