This class blends slow, intentional movement, breathwork, and somatic practices to help release stored tension, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, and create a sense of safety and ease in your body. Through gentle yoga postures, mindful movement, and restorative holds, we will explore the three states of the nervous system—
Ventral Vagal (Safe & Connected): A state of ease, presence, and connection
Sympathetic (Fight or Flight): A mobilized state of stress, anxiety, or activation
Dorsal Vagal (Freeze & Shutdown): A state of withdrawal, exhaustion, or dissociation
By tuning into these states, you will learn to recognize where you are in the nervous system response and develop tools to shift between them with breathwork, movement, and grounding techniques. This awareness fosters greater emotional resilience, stress relief, and a deeper connection with your body. Benefits of this class:
✔ Supports nervous system regulation through Polyvagal Theory
✔ Increases awareness of your nervous system states
✔ Provides strategies to shift out of stress and into calm
✔ Releases stored tension and promotes deep relaxation
✔ Enhances breath awareness and energy flow
This practice is perfect for anyone seeking relief from stress, anxiety, chronic tension, or nervous system dysregulation. No prior yoga experience is necessary—just come as you are and allow yourself to rest, reset, and heal.
