This supports the nervous system to discharge excess activation and settle more easily into calm.The 4 Stages (60 minutes total)Stage 1 Shaking (15 mins)Standing with soft knees, you’ll be guided to allow natural shaking/tremoring. This helps loosen tension, wake up energy, and clear stress from the body.Stage 2 Dancing (15 mins)Music opens into free movement. No steps to follow — simply let the body lead, expressing whatever wants to move.Stage 3 Stillness (15 mins)You pause and become completely still (standing or sitting). This is where the nervous system can integrate and the mind naturally quietens.Stage 4 Rest (15 mins)You lie down and rest. This final stage supports deep integration — letting the practice land in the body.What you’ll get from the practiceRelease built-up tension in the bodySoothe and regulate the nervous systemShift from “head” into embodied presenceA clearer, calmer baseline — often felt immediately, and strengthened over timeShaking, rocking, vibration and spontaneous movement are natural human responses to stress, overwhelm, and even ecstatic states. Variations of these practices appear across many cultures and traditions — a reminder that the body has always known how to come back to balance.Come shake it off. Move it through. Rest into yourself. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/cac57660-2896-11f1-81bb-73088445a57a-rimg-w1200-h600-dc46032f-gmir.jpg VENUE & PRACTICALITIES:ADDRESS: The Amadeus, 50 Shirland Rd, London W9 2JANEAREST STATION: Warwick Avenue (6 min walk), Maida Vale (12 min) Bakerloo Line, Please check tfl.gov.uk for latest travel updates.WHAT TO BRING: Bring a reusable water bottle, please if possible come already dressed in comfortable clothing suitable for movement, dress in layers.
