Welcome to the Sunshine Cercle

A sanctuary where you rise into the most empowered version of yourself.

Behind The Cercle

Djinane AlSuwayeh is a Somatic Movement Therapy Practitioner based in Kuwait.

Djinane is a French/Kuwaiti internationally published Creative Director, an award-winning Photographer, as well as a certified RYT500 trauma-trained Yoga and Somatic Practitioner focused on body-centered therapies. Deeply rooted within somatic psychology she focuses her work primarily within Mindfulness, Neuroscience and Movement, to bring awareness through practice helping you move from habit to choice.

With a 13-year background in visual and expressive arts, her work is highly influenced by curiosity and playfulness, encouraging your sense of connection and safety to guide you through experiential embodied practices and remember your aliveness through supporting the regulation of your nervous system (which underlies every aspect of our physical, emotional, and psychological functioning). She invites you to step into a deep inward journey of self-discovery and self-care, engaging in a more resilient and strength-based process to re-connect to yourself, the environment and other.

Sunshine Cercle is Djinane’s home, and now yours. A place free for somatic explorations. A safer space for all types of bodies wanting to remember and reconnect to their birthright. The name was inspired by hosting “Therapy Thursdays” as a healing circle for colleagues who felt at home with her, in need of a place to show up in authenticity to release stressors of the toxic luxury fashion industry they worked in.

Her fascination with psychology and the body (born based on her life curriculum) led her to study modalities such as Somatic Experiencing, Somatic Parts Work, Hanna Somatics, Body Mind Centering, and Yoga Psychology. She is currently focusing on trauma-recovery work, working with and applying her teachers principles/practices in a context of healing, empowered awareness, and merging together her embodied tools that brought forth profound somatic transformation.

 
 
Sunshine Cercle is a body of practices born from my many years of personal inquiry, practice and training in all things Soma!

The Cercle’s Offerings

SYT is a practice based on attuning and becoming sensitive to sensation in the body while been guided into specific shapes and sequences yoga-inspired.

At the heart of this practice is somatic inquiry of what is happening and what is there to be experienced? Guiding you slowly to fully reconnect and be present in your body, allowing you to feel aliveness again.
