In our 1:1 Sessions, we use the innovative Seasonal I-Ching Body Map alongside Chinese Meridians, correlating specific acupoints, hexagram qualities, and seasonal images with emerging psychosomatic themes to identify, address and release related emotions within your body.

In an interactive session, I guide you through an unfolding series of Shakti Flowing Asanas and/or Standing Exercises, thereby awakening vital flows, while releasing tension and emotions stored in the fascia of the body.

This framework helps you recognize how current life-themes have manifested in your body, signalling tightness, pain, discomfort and blockages. It empowers you to heed your body’s call for healing and transformation, encouraging an intimate dialogue with your body, so you can hear and receive its messages. As you move, stretch and feel into any arising emotions with self-compassion and acceptance, you are encouraged to use helpful relevant affirmations, facilitating the transformation of old attitudes that no longer serve you. This nourishes you with the supportive energy and feelings of the somatically related themes, nurturing your balance, harmony, and vitality with awareness.

1. Release Tension: helps you release physical tension stored in the body, and to ease pain, promoting relaxation, improved flexibility and increased range of motion.

2. Emotional Healing: addresses psychosomatic themes and related emotions, supporting emotional healing and resilience.

3. Enhanced Energy Flow: stimulates your energy flow through specific movement exercises and energy work, leaving you feeling alleviated, revitalized and balanced.

4. Mind-Body Connection: deepens your awareness of the mind-body connection, increasing your sense of presence and self-awareness. 

5. Personal Transformation: Provides a nurturing space for personal exploration and growth, enabling you to discern the connection between life-themes and their manifestation in the body. This supports your journey of transformation and self-discovery.

6. Holistic Well-being: promotes harmony on physical, emotional, and energetic levels, supporting wholesome well-being and inner peace.

7. Empowerment: through affirmations and intentional practices, you are empowered to cultivate positive beliefs and attitudes, enhancing your overall resilience and well-being.

 “Absolutely yes. It is a concrete work evidently based on a serious and thorough study of the body. Throughout the session, I perceived the instructor’s intention to continuously explore movement with an openness and awareness that completely involved me. Consequently, my movement became an exploration, involving body, mind, and soul simultaneously. I felt the possibility of Unity because all aspects were equally addressed.” – Michaela Bargagli 

‘Yes, I would definitely recommend this to others. It allowed me to have undivided attention for myself in order to fully understand why my body was reacting in a certain way and how this was playing into my life and holding me back. Tailored exercises were provided to fully meet my needs and very enlightening information given about the I-Ching Somatic Matrix. I see this as a part of my spiritual journey out self-love and fully knowing my true identity. A must for us all! Sara this was a beautiful experience.” ~ Cristine Stawart, U.K.

“The wide range of movements in the area needing support, such as opening, closing, extending, rotating, etc., allowed me to bring awareness to that area, offering me the opportunity for a more intimate listening that reminded me how important it is to communicate with the body and to ask what it needs.” ~ Gill Main, U.K.

“In reality, I was left speechless… the reading through the matrix of hexagrams was clear, simple, and direct. Having practiced shiatsu for many years, I know that the body never lies, but every time I am surprised by this great potential. I believe that this session nourished my trust in what my body signals to me. ~ Michaela Bargagli, Italy

 “The movements during the session were very effective because they were carried out with an awareness of the points identified by Sara’s map, not only with respect to physical stiffness but also by involving the body and psyche as a whole. This process guided me deeply into the overall understanding of a physical situation that reflected the blocks in my energy flow and my movement in everyday life.” ~ Sarah Ambrosio, Italy

 “I’ve been following the sequence I got from the session, and already after one week I feel physical improvement. During the 1:1 session, I felt a huge relief from my left shoulder blade and heart. Sara Avtar so beautifully guided a missing part of my soul so I could completely ascend to my body The 1:1 setting was complimentary to the group sessions. Having such safe space, I feel it complemented the group process for me.” ~ Aradhana Seva Kaur, Finland

 “Before the session, there were a lot of things stored in my body. Then, during the session, I felt very strongly how the pain shifted with warm waves that got things moving. Now, after one week, I feel a lot better, as if my body has been upgraded. I think it was a refreshing and helpful experience because Sara Avtar was able to show me the right exercises and also where necessary to correct my movement. I have done some of the same exercises in the past, but with Sara, I found a different momentum.” ~ Isabella, Finland
