“This course was like laying down a heavy weight I did not even realise I was carrying. Each week I felt a little softer, a little more alive in my own skin.” — Newcastle participant, 2024

Dearmouring is:

The gentle process of releasing layers of tension and protection stored in the body. Body armoUYring serves as a protective barrier against emotional pain and other threats, but it also restricts the individual’s ability to experience pleasure and authentic emotions.
This chronic muscular tension is believed to manifest in specific patterns throughout the body, and to contribute to various physical and psychological ailments. These areas, known as the Belts of Tension, restrict our energy flow and limit our emotional expression. We work with these Belts of Tension IN THE COMING 4 WEEKS.
Your body remembers everything. Moments of joy, moments of fear, and the countless subtle ways you have adapted to stay safe. Over time these adaptations can solidify into what is known as armour, which is made up of protective patterns of muscle tension, breath restriction, and emotional holding.

When we face emotional stress, our nervous system activates fight, flight, or freeze responses. If unresolved, these experiences can become “locked” into the body through chronic muscle tension, shallow breathing, or energetic shutdown. Over time, this can manifest as:
Chronic pain or stiffness (especially in hips, jaw, or chest)
Emotional numbness or anxiety
Sexual blockages or intimacy issues
Fatigue, insomnia, or digestive issues
Difficulty feeling present, safe, or open

This 4-week experiential course offers a safe space to recognise and slowly dissolve the layers that weigh you down. Through somatic practice, gentle body-based tools, and the lens of Polyvagal Theory, we invite your nervous system back into a natural rhythm that is rooted in safety, connection, and vitality.

You will learn to listen to your body’s signals, release what no longer serves, and deepen into the felt sense of aliveness.

Week 1: Meeting the Armour
Theme: Understanding your body’s protective patterns. Learn the 7 belts of tension.
​​
Week 2: Softening the Shield
Theme: Finding safety in release
​​
Week 3: Your Body Remembers
Theme: Meeting stored emotions with compassion
​​
Week 4: Living De-armoured
Theme: Reclaiming vitality and presence
​​
.​Each Week Includes:

Gentle, trauma-informed nervous system education
Somatic mapping and felt sense awareness
Self-dearmouring tools such as rocking, jiggling, stroking, and tapping
Kundalini kriyas for vitality and release
Breathwork and vagal toning practices
Sound healing including gong, mantra, and vocal toning
Integration time and space for personal pacing

Interweaving Lucinda’s expertise in Kundalini, yoga therapy, somatic psychotherapy, Polyvagal Theory, Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry, and current studies in Somatic Experiencing, this course combines Kundalini Yoga, meditation, mantra and nervous system education to support embodied healing and transformation.
.
​No experience is needed. You don’t need to be flexible or strong.
Just come as you are — with curiosity, openness and a willingness to explore your body’s innate capacity to heal.
ALL of you is welcome.
If you have questions or are unsure if this is right for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out for a chat.
