You’ll be invited to:
➰ Connect with your body’s anchors of safety: Learn and practice simple techniques and resources to help active your “rest and digest” system. (Ex: Noticing the sensation of your feet touching the floor, or feeling the fullness of your inhale and the relaxing qualities of your exhale)
🧘🏿 Practice somatic movement and sound: invite new awareness of your stress-holding patterns, and new openness in your body
This might look like swaying or bouncing, standing or sitting, or simply resting; You might create the sound of lion’s breath, or deep sighs, or settle into your own comfortable silence.
🍃Use gentle circular breathing: to build charge, process emotion, and release stored tension. Also known as seamless breath, this practice is the gradual smoothing of the transitions between breaths
🍃 Our breath is an incredible resource for stress relief; you might breathe quicker or slower than your usual pacing, and we’ll guide you through to find your optimal pacing.
🫶🏽 Be supported through trauma-informed touch (opt-in only)
🧘🏻 Move at your own pace: in your own timing, with no need to perform, just practice.
❤️🔥 We’ll also invite you to arrive with an open mind and heart, remove any expectations (no traditional yoga flow, no goals to meet), and allow yourself to be moved–physically, mentally, and emotionally–in brand new ways.
