This is not a workshop.
This is not performance-based personal development.
Somatic Dojo is a structured and supportive environment where your body learns how to feel safer, more regulated, and more capable of meeting life without overwhelm or shutdown.
It is both a training ground and a healing container.
The Somatic Dojo is an immersive and trauma-informed environment designed to build real embodied capacity, not through motivation, information overload, or emotional catharsis but through direct nervous system regulation, somatic integration, and guided relational experience.
Power is not intensity.
Power is not force.
Power is not endurance alone.
The ability to remain present under pressure.
To stay regulated while holding responsibility.
To move without bracing, dissociation, or collapse.
True capacity also includes the ability to relax, receive support, and remain emotionally connected while navigating challenges.
Strength without regulation leads to burnout.
Regulation without strength leads to stagnation.
Somatic Dojo develops both.
Leaders, parents, creatives, therapists, entrepreneurs, and high-functioning individuals often develop impressive external competence while their nervous system quietly absorbs the cost.
What looks like resilience is frequently sustained through chronic sympathetic activation or parasympathetic shutdown, resulting in patterns that cannot support long-term embodiment, emotional stability, relational clarity, or sustainable performance.
This pattern affects both high performers and individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, relationship strain, or emotional overwhelm.
Without regulation, capacity collapses.
Insight does not translate into embodied change
Strength hardens into rigidity
Presence collapses into reactivity
Power leaks through over-compensation or shutdown
“True embodiment requires more than awareness. It requires training the body to tolerate charge, intensity, emotion, and stillness without bracing or fragmentation. This is what nervous system mastery truly means.”
Guided experiential practices designed to expand body awareness, emotional tolerance, and nervous system flexibility while helping participants feel safe, grounded, and present in their bodies.
These practices develop resilience, regulation, and embodied confidence through direct experience.
Structured, trauma-informed processes designed to restore regulation, reduce overwhelm, and strengthen sustainable internal coherence at the physiological level.
Participants learn how their stress responses operate and how to shift them safely.
Facilitated partner and group integration designed to help participants embody strength, emotional stability, and grounded presence without force, suppression, or override.
Real change happens when the body experiences support while expanding capacity.
At its core, Somatic Dojo trains the body’s ability to move fluidly between activation and restoration. Human resilience is not built by eliminating stress or stimulation.

Expand capacity without sacrificing safety
This training draws from contemporary autonomic nervous system research, somatic psychology, and applied experiential nervous system conditioning.
Somatic Dojo is built upon the principles of NeuroSomatic Release Therapy™, a proprietary integrative methodology developed through years of clinical manual therapy, trauma-informed somatic work, and applied nervous system training.
Individuals who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in stress cycles.
Those who want to feel more grounded, emotionally steady, and confident.
Therapists, coaches, or practitioners seeking deeper somatic understanding.
High performers seeking sustainable resilience (or want to sustainably perform at higher levels).
Those seeking embodied growth beyond talk-based processing.
Individuals who value community, depth, and direct experience.
Each nervous system starts and ends at baseline.
"The pace is intentional. The container is supportive. The work is real, and the changes are life-lasting."
This immersion prioritizes lasting internal change over temporary peak experiences.
Somatic Dojo is not only about personal transformation. It is about experiencing growth inside a real human community where learning, healing, and development happen together.
Training the body to tolerate sensation, charge, emotion, and stillness without bracing, forcing, or collapsing. This work builds real capacity through direct experience, not analysis or performance.
Developing regulation, presence, and decision-making under real pressure. This is leadership trained at the nervous system level where clarity, authority, and stability actually originate.
Working with past patterns as they live in the body without overwhelm, catharsis, or reactivation. The emphasis is on safety, pacing, and integration, so the system can reorganize sustainably
Somatic Dojo trains the human system as a whole.
Nervous system regulation, somatic intelligence, emotional integration, and embodied power develop together through structured exposure, containment, and integration.
This creates change that is stable, transferable, and sustainable in real life.
Resonance (Aligned) & Dissonance (Not Aligned)
Establishing internal safety, releasing chronic bracing patterns, and building foundational nervous system regulation.
Expanding tolerance for sensation, emotion, expression, and intensity while maintaining nervous system stability.
Translating nervous system mastery into boundaries, leadership presence, emotional clarity, and decision-making in daily life.
All work is facilitated with precision, consent, and containment.
Ronnie Landis is a practitioner, teacher, and author whose work bridges embodied training, nervous system regulation, and leadership in lived, real-life conditions.
With a background spanning martial arts, professional athletics, advanced neuromuscular therapy, and integrative health, his work is grounded in lived experience, not theory. For over two decades, he has trained hundreds of bodies across martial arts, clinical, athletic, and high-performance contexts, developing the capacity required to move ideas into action and live with integrity when it matters most.
He leads from body first principles, training regulation, presence, and inner authority as lived capacities rather than abstract ideas or temporary states.
“The Somatic Dojo exists because awareness alone is not enough. Power must be trained in the body.”

Former clients of Ronnie’s reflections speak to increased regulation, grounded presence, emotional stability, and restored internal capacity. This work is often described as subtle, profound, and deeply integrating.
Ronnie's work is deeply important, profoundly healing, powerful, and unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s some of the best bodywork and transformational healing I’ve ever received. Maybe even the best and I have worked with some of the best healers out there.

Working with Ronnie was a profound and life changing experience. Who I left as after our 6 weeks of session work together was a very different person then who I walked in as at the start. The momentum of success has expanded in all areas of my life, most importantly the healing & transformation of my body, my heart, & my spirit.

My treatment with Ronnie was an incredible experience for me. It was transformative in a variety of ways. It’s unique to anything I have experienced. I received incredible benefits, particularly areas in my head and neck were transformed. Since going through the therapy the tension in my neck is virtually zero. For anyone considering working with Ronnie, I highly recommend it.

Ronnie’s work eclipses any other somatic therapy support I have ever received from another human being. The entire body is completely repressensed and realigned. The optics of the eyes. The voice box and vocal cords. All of it. I can feel all of the body come into coherence.

Ronnie brings a level of presence to his work that is different than most bodyworkers. This is a unique modality that addresses the nervous system, neurological-muscular system. Ronnie is an adept at this trade & I recommend anyone working with him. He’s a body ninja!

Before seeing Ronnie I had intense trauma from a car accident and decades of emotional clearing needing to happen. It was a challenging process to be clear but it’s incredible, massively impactful, profoundly nervous system resetting, and physically restorative. Ronnie is an epic combination of humility, highly skilled, powerful, and compassionate. I highly recommend working with Ronnie.

This was a whole different level of healing work. The amount of stored trauma and energy I was able to release was absolutely profound. I felt so much lighter, more connected, and more embodied in my truth and power. I feel like a completely new person and I want everyone to know about the power of this work. It is life changing.

Common questions about The Somatic Dojo
The Somatic Dojo is an immersive, live training environment focused on building real, embodied capacity through direct nervous system training and somatic integration. It is a structured space where the body learns to remain regulated, present, and powerful under pressure.
This is training, not treatment, and capacity building, not catharsis chasing. It is not a workshop, therapy, or “personal development theater,” but rather a living dojo where the body is trained rather than just talked about or analyzed.
Leaders, athletes, and creators often develop impressive outer competence while their nervous systems quietly absorb the cost through chronic sympathetic activation. This training restores sustainable strength and ensures your presence doesn’t give way to reactivity or power leaks.
No prior somatic experience is required. However, participants must have personal responsibility, emotional maturity, and a willingness to engage their bodies directly.
The immersion includes guided somatic training, nervous system recalibration sequences, breath and movement practices, and hands-on neuromuscular release work. All work is conducted with precision, consent, and containment.
The immersion takes place on July 24/25/26. It is located at Awaken Ranch in Austin, Texas. Specific food and lodging details are provided upon enrollment. Amenities: Infrared Sauna, Cold Plunge, and Hot Tub
The group size is intentionally limited to 20 participants. This selectivity ensures the integrity of the field and allows for the high level of facilitation required for this depth of training.
