Does your nervous system feel rattled by current events, difficult life circumstances, traffic, or loud and overstimulating environments? Does meditation seem impossible because your mind is looping, scanning, planning, or spiralling? Do breathing exercises make you more anxious? You are not alone!
This course offers practical education and tools for understanding stress, overwhelm, and your body’s protective responses.
Together, we’ll explore how the nervous system responds to distress, why certain reactions make sense, and what helps create more steadiness, capacity, and choice. Each class will include accessible psychoeducation, guided reflection, simple regulation practices, breath awareness, and mindful movement to support integration.
Rather than focusing on poses or performance, this class emphasizes self-understanding, nervous system literacy, and everyday strategies for meeting stress with more care. Practices will be trauma-sensitive, invitational, adaptable, and grounded in choice.
Come for grounded support in distressing times; leave with practical tools for resilience, emotional well-being, and staying present with reality as it is.
Beginners welcome.
