Anxiety isn’t just a feeling—it’s a physiological response shaped by the nervous system, brain chemistry, and learned patterns of thought and behavior. This workshop offers a comprehensive introduction to understanding anxiety from a scientific and physiological perspective, alongside practical techniques to help regulate anxious responses.

The focus of the session will be on how movement, breath, and sensory regulation can influence anxiety levels, allowing you to interrupt anxious thought patterns and guide your body into a calmer state. You’ll also gain an introduction to the nervous system’s role in anxiety, how hyperventilation impacts the body, and how to build a personal toolkit of techniques to help you combat unwanted anxiety.
