Somatics is a field within bodywork and movement studies which emphasises internal physical perception and experience. Somatic techniques may be used in bodywork, psychotherapy, dance, or spiritual practices

The term is used in movement therapy to signify approaches based on the soma, or “the body as perceived from within. In dance, the term refers to techniques based on the dancer’s internal sensation, in contrast with “performative techniques,” such as ballet or modern dance, which emphasise the external observation of movement by an audience.
