Somatic & Lifestyle practices for Anxiety

The aim of this workshop is to teach an array of modalities to help us down-regulate the nervous system ahead of or during anxious states. With knowledge comes power. When we have a variety of tools to work with, we’re better equipped to recognize our edges and tend to them. 

When we become attuned to the cues and signals our body is trying to send us ahead of anxious states, we can integrate counterbalancing practices and gently recondition the physiological loop that keeps us bound within them. 

In doing so, we discover how to “control of the controllables” thus improving the quality of our day to day lives. Whether it’s situational or reinforced conditioning of how we perceive our day to day experiences…

Addressing an anxious mind requires an understanding of the nervous system and how all movement forms, breathing patters, and lifestyle habits contribute to or balance out exacerbated states.
