A 90 minute somatic practice designed to release deep muscle tension and reduce stress.
Each session will start with some gentle breathwork followed by movement and therapeutic tremoring ending with a guided relaxation.
Therapeutic tremoring is a somatic therapy focusing on an instinctive shaking mechanism as a natural tool for self-regulation, healing and maintaining homeostasis.
Through specific movements this natural tremor response becomes something that is uncovered by you, not taught to you. It is inspired by ancient cultures all over the world, by nature, science and by our bodies' innate intelligence. When an animal encounters trauma they instinctively shake to heal themselves, moving the energy out of their bodies straight away. As humans we tend to suppress emotions and feelings when we go through something traumatic. This energy then gets stored in the body and can manifest into pain, tension and disease if not released from the body-mind.
These sessions are designed to help recalibrate your nervous system, switching you into parasympathetic dominance bringing with it a range of healing benefits such as:
- Stress relief
- Easing of tension through muscles and fascia
- Reduced pain
- Easing anxiety
- Release emotional blockages
- Improved sleep
- Connection to the wisdom of your body
- Improvement of symptoms of PTSD and mental health dis-ease
- Increased resilience, strength and flexibility in the body
- Support talk therapy sessions
- Improved clarity
Important Note:
The intention of these sessions is to guide you through somatic ways to release held patterns of tension in the body that can linger after trauma & stress. They are not designed to revisit the traumatic event. That being said as with any body based practice, emotions can arise. If you are currently working through a particular trauma and need extra support I recommend booking a 1:1 session first so that we can work with your unique body in a tailored session rather than a general class. This modality is a great complementary therapy alongside talk therapy. Please reach out if you would like to chat more about these classes.
