Join Rebekah Ballagh - Best Selling Author, Qualified Counsellor, and Somatic Coach - and Alex Ballagh - Yoga and Dance Teacher of twenty years, Wellness Speaker, and Nutrition Student - for a bespoke and thoughtfully curated workshop designed to educate and empower you towards a more embodied and whole version of yourself. Within this three and a half hour workshop, you will receive expert level presentations on the nature of the nervous system and its states, how emotions become trapped in the body. You will experience an interactive guided session with somatic practices, emotional processing tools & vagal drills, as well as gaining key nutritional guidance on how to support nervous system balance and regulation. Together, we will also move through guided meditations, yoga asana, and collective sharing of kai, moving us into a deeper state of connection and conversation with our individual and unique bodies and minds.
Our intention with this workshop is that you leave with an embodied understanding of your nervous system, its states, your unique manifestations of these states, and a newfound sense of empowerment to move yourself towards a sense of balance and ease within your body through yoga, meditation, nutrition, and tailored somatic practices.
Here is the full menu of what you will receive:
1 x Wellness Talk with Rebekah Ballagh
-Exploring the NS in general and each state including the nuance of mixed states
-Discussing the concept of ‘meeting and completing’ emotions and matching tools to nervous system states (up vs down regulation etc.)
