When you are feeling completely overwhelmed, burnt out, or anxious, what do you do?

Do you try to force yourself to take a deep breath? Do you tell yourself to "just calm down"?

Here is a liberating truth: Your mind cannot command your body to calm down if your nervous system feels unsafe.

Join me for this 3-week journey to learn how to soothe your nervous system directly, giving your mind permission to relax so you can finally feel like yourself again!

3 Thursdays in November, 5:30-6:30pm:

• Nov. 5th

• Nov. 12th

• Nov. 19th

Can't make the dates?

No problem! I will be recording each class and uploading it to a private member's group that you can access online anytime for 60 days! This way you can enjoy the classes anytime you like, and as often as you like!

Many people treat anxiety and depression as the same pool of emotional distress. But in terms of your nervous system, they are exactly opposite:

• Anxiety is an active, mobilized state (Sympathetic nervous system). Your body wants to fight or run away.

• Depression is a passive, immobilized state (Dorsal vagal complex). Your body feels defeated and chooses to shut down to conserve energy.

Because they are opposites, they require opposite remedies.

Using the groundbreaking science of Polyvagal Theory, we will spend three weeks learning how to identify exactly what state your body is stuck in, and give you the physiological keys (through specific breathwork, spine directions, and vagus nerve stimulation) to shift yourself back to safety.

The 3-Week Journey & Curriculum:

Class 1: Befriending Your Nervous System (Nov. 5)

Before we can change how we feel, we must understand how our body protects us. This foundational class introduces you to your body's subconscious threat-detection system, shifting your relationship with stress from frustration to curiosity.

Class 2: Understanding Anxiety & Downregulation (Nov. 12)

When anxiety strikes, your body is flooded with survival energy. Instead of trying to fight your thoughts, you will learn how to safely and physically discharge this accumulated stress energy so your brain receives the message that it is safe to rest.

Class 3: Understanding Depression & Upregulation (Nov. 19)

Depression is an immobilization response—a biological strategy designed to shut your system down when life feels overwhelming. In this class, we practice gently and safely stepping up your physical energy to restore vitality without triggering anxiety.

Designed for Your Body, Exactly Where It’s At

This series is built entirely around your accessibility and comfort. While all techniques will be offered as traditional standing and floor practices, you will also learn how to complete the entire 3-week program using a combination of a chair and your bed. In fact, Class 1 and Class 2 can be practiced entirely from the comfort of your bed, and Class 3 can easily begin in a chair before transitioning to your bed for the final restorative integration. Modified variations will be provided throughout to support injuries, making this series truly accessible for all levels and almost all physical limitations. (Have a specific injury or concern? Please contact me directly so we can discuss how to tailor the movements to your specific needs!)Add your text here. Edit to add dynamic values like name, email and more.
