Wellbeing Course: Live Online

Wellbeing, Your Way
an approach to restoring balance and wellness

If you’re feeling anxious, overtired, overworked or stressed, join us to restore space, calm and relaxation to your daily life.

This wellbeing course, Wellbeing, Your Way is all about how to enhance your quality of being.  We explore how to incorporate simple nervous system hacks to rewire your system and restore a sense of calm and contentment.  We’ll focus on developing your own individual recipe for wellness, focused on discovering a range of techniques you can use any time, any place, that you know will work for you.

When we’re feeling stressed or anxious, we don’t always know how to flip the switch and down-regulate our overactive nervous system. Stress manifests in the body and affects our focus, sleeping  and immune systems, making us more susceptible to high blood pressure, heart attacks,  inflammatory conditions and likely to snap at those close to us.

Wellbeing Course
Wellbeing, Your Way:

* A science-based balance of theory and practice helps you develop more equilibrium in your life

* Builds confidence and calm when confronted with day-to-day challenges

* Supports you as you create a bespoke range of techniques that you can draw upon when you need

* Somatic movement practices to create a sense of grounding, safety and stability

* Mindful and embodied approaches that reliably turn down the volume on your overactive nervous system

* Helps you create space and time and build resilience

* Breathwork practices to stimulate vagal tone and promote deep rest and relaxation

* Each session includes a full hour of somatic movement and yoga, designed to encourage you to absorb and integrate the focus that week

Please note:

None of these sessions is intended to replace psychotherapy.  If you feel triggered, or unusually anxious, or are dealing with acute PTSD, it’s important to have support systems in place.  We may move into delicate areas and will do our best to support you, but we cannot take the place of good psychotherapeutic support.  If you are looking for a therapist, we may be able to offer suggestions.
