Moving Through Activation: Working with Stress Without Overwhelm
Somatic Practices • Meditation • Mindful Movement • Guided Reflection
Learning to ride the waves.
Do you ever feel anxious, restless, irritable, overwhelmed—or like your nervous system just can’t seem to turn down the volume?
Nervous System Wisdom brings Applied Polyvagal Theory out of the textbook and into the body. Through accessible teaching and guided experiences, you’ll learn to recognize your own nervous-system patterns and explore practical ways of responding when stress and activation arise.
In Moving Through Activation, we’ll explore the body’s natural fight-or-flight energy and practice ways of staying connected to ourselves without needing to push the experience away or immediately “calm down.”
This isn’t about eliminating stress. It’s about developing greater awareness, choice, and trust in your ability to meet what arises.
Come exactly as you are. All of you is welcome here.
This Workshop May Be for You If…
• You often feel anxious, restless, irritable, rushed, or “on”
• Stress can quickly become overwhelming
• You notice tension or activation in your body but aren’t sure what to do with it
• Trying to “calm down” doesn’t always help
• You want more practical tools for your nervous-system “toolbox”
What You’ll Experience
• Applied Polyvagal Theory explained in an accessible, practical way
• Exploration of fight-or-flight activation and the Window of Tolerance
• Introduction to titration and pendulation—working with sensations in manageable amounts
• Somatic awareness, breath practices and mindful movement
• Guided meditation, journaling and reflection
• Practical ways to work with activation while maintaining choice and connection
• Simple practices to use in everyday life
Come Once. Come Often. Begin Anywhere.
Each workshop stands on its own. No previous workshop or experience with Polyvagal Theory, yoga, meditation, or somatic practices is necessary.
Bring a notebook or journal. Take-home integration practices are included.
