Description
Stress and anxiety adversely affect us on many levels and in this workshop we will focus on how to support and restore
• Healthy Habits for a good nights sleep ,Sleep Rituals to improve our energy and reduce the frazzle and brain fog associated with poor sleep.
• Using embodied and somatic practice to support a healthy Digestive system, that can become disregulated by anxiety and stress.
The aim of the workshop will be to bring balance and ease back into our bodies and relax our overactive nervous system. The guiding principles will be compassion based practices.
• Breathing practices ,pranayama . This will include slow deep breathing and lengthening of the breath as this sends messages of safety to the brain.
• Yoga asana, A grounding practice to help manage overwhelm and fear, followed by a flow yoga sequence aimed at building resilience and finding joy in movement. We cannot be joyful and fearful at the same time.
• A short mindfulness session that involves observing the thinking mind, the flow of the thoughts as they are, without judgement, By recognising we cannot follow all of them, we can allow ourselves to develop a sense of peace and ease
• A restorative yoga session will complete the event, allowing the body and mind to fully rest.
