Abstract
Strength training has not been the domain of somatics. This article argues for the possibility and the benefits of bringing a somatic approach to working with free weights, dynabands and gym equipment. The article describes how to connect holistically and somatically with physical sensations, emotions, the imagination and the mental realm while doing strength training exercises. Somatic strength training allows us to develop outer and inner strength, bodily awareness, intuition and a compassionate, soulful relationship with the body.
