The Magic of Serotonin: Nutrition & Yoga Workshop

These two neurotransmitters compete for uptake in the brain, and dopamine takes precedence over serotonin.

Low serotonin is involved in a lot more than low mood. When we are low in serotonin, we may find that we lack appetite control, we have cravings for sugar and other refined carbs, or we engage in other addictive behaviours. We may also experience anxiety and poor sleep, and our gut may be sluggish.

Serotonin enables us to be present and enjoy the moment. Find out how to support your serotonin levels , the molecule that mediates contentment, happiness and optimism, through nutrition, movement and breath.

6.15pm – 7pm – Introduction to serotonin. What does it do for us; why do some of us have lower levels than others (a discussion around nutrients, genetics, hormones, gut health); and the importance of connection - with ourselves, each other and the world around us.

7.15pm – 8.30pm – Yoga and breath to support serotonin

8.30pm – 8.45pm – Q&A and close.

Wear loose, comfy clothes and, if you can, bring a yoga mat, yoga blocks or cushions and a blanket. Also bring a notebook and pen.

Yoga and breathwork is best done on an empty stomach. I recommend that you have something light to eat a couple of hours before the start of the workshop.

• Kundalini Global Yoga & Breathwork Teacher
• Workshop and retreat facilitator since 2019

I have been running online and in-person workshops and retreats on gut health, mental health, addiction recovery and the menopause transition since 2019.

My personal history of overcoming an alcohol addiction, a nicotine addiction and binge-eating led me to have a special interest in working with people who struggle with anxiety, low mood, and / or addictions to alcohol or other damaging substances or behaviours.

Since qualifying as a registered nutritionist in 2019, and later as a transformational coach, I have helped 1000s of people shift damaging patterns of behaviour. I’ve helped them implement positive changes to their diet and lifestyle so they can feel better. I trained as a Kundalini yoga and breathwork teacher because movement and breath are fundamental to healing.

I’d love to see you there.
