Marie Williams Yoga
Yoga Teacher, Yoga & Somatic Therapist in Norwich
Welcome
Hi, I'm
Marie.
Thanks for landing here — I’m Marie, Yoga Teacher, Yoga & Somatic Therapist based in Norwich, Norfolk.
I guide people through embodied, somatic experiences of yoga and movement that cultivate felt-sense awareness, nervous system regulation, and a deep connection to the living intelligence of the body.
My approach is inspired by
embodied anatomy, embryology & developmental movement
nervous system informed intelligence
somatic psychology & trauma-aware therapeutic practice
yogic wisdom - non-dual tantric philosophy
Whether you step onto the mat in a group class, join me on retreat, practice at home via the online studio, or engage in one-to-one therapeutic work with me, you are invited into a relational, curious and body-anchored experience of yourself — where your nervous system, lived experience and personal agency are at the centre of every practice.
I offer embodied yoga classes, events & retreats. I also share Yoga Therapy — a somatic alternative to talking therapy through a yogic lens.

Yoga Therapy
Yoga Therapy is an integrative mind-body therapeutic approach; learning to attune to the language of the body and understand more about our embodied responses and how we can support lasting change that benefits our physical and mental health.
This is a trauma-informed therapeutic approach.

Somatic Yoga
SOMA, the living body. Somatic practices guide you to become more attuned to the felt experience within your body and emphasise the internal sensing-feeling experience of the body, rather than the doing.
Join me for somatic yoga classes, somatic release or engage in 1-1 therapy.

Yoga & Somatic Therapy
As a qualified Yoga Therapist I offer therapeutic support that acknowledges and supports how stress, unresolved emotional tension, chronic pain, illness and trauma show up in the body and nervous system.
In private therapy sessions we explore:
How your nervous system responds to daily life and the imprint of your history on those responses
Somatic tools for safety, regulation and resilience
Building your capacity to be with what arises
Processing embodied patterns and finding new pathways of response
This is not a quick fix — it’s a collaborative process that places your lived experience at its centre, helps you learn to listen and trust the body and experience a way of being in relationship with yourself that better supports your health and wellbeing.
Yoga Therapy is a a somatic alternative to talking therapy for those seeking a holistic and integrative mind-body approach to health and wellbeing, and is a trauma informed therapeutic approach.
Upcoming Events
Spring Sādhana Morning
Sunday 22nd March, 9.30-12.30PM

A mini-retreat morning for Spring Equinox — a morning of embodied movement practice exploring the energy of the season through movement practices, such as yoga, somatics, shaking, and dance.
The morning will include a ceremonial cacao ritual, with prompts for reflection and sharing, and devotional song/mantra. Plus, yummy baked delights for a light post-practice breakfast/brunch.
Embodied Anatomy Workshops
PART 1: The Container - Saturday, 11 April, 9:30am - 1:30pm
PART 2: The Contents - Saturday, 2 May, 9:30am - 1:30pm
Listening to the body’s inner intelligence: an embodied exploration of living anatomy through movement and somatic inquiry, rooted in sensation, movement, and presence.
A two-part series inviting you to experience anatomy not as information to learn and memorise, but as innate intelligence available and accessible to listen to. An embodied, explorative approach through movement, imagery, touch, and felt-sense perception and presence; experiencing anatomy as a living conversation rather than a fixed map. These workshops are less about ‘learning more’ and more about remembering how to listen.
