Stressed? Worried? This body-mind based, fun and interactive workshop will help you learn new tools to bounce back and build resilience.
Part of the Breath and Embodiment Workshop Series
We know that thinking about stress does not make it go away. By doing things differently in our bodies we can make a real and tangible difference to the amount of stress that we feel, and to our ability to reduce our stress levels, quickly and easily – and it can be fun and creative as well!
By calming the body we can calm the mind. This workshop will use simple embodiment techniques to teach you how to align the body’s intelligence with that of the brain. This will help boost your awareness of how you carry and experience stress, giving you increased choice and new ways to respond to that stress, rather than simply reacting in the same old ways.
We will combine breathwork, movement and elements of play as we learn new tools and practise building our resilience.
Breathwork – Understand your unique breath pattern and how it impacts how you show up in the world. Learn to breathe freely and openly, using your breath to bring calm and peace
Movement – Discover how changing the way you move can bring fresh possibilities, increased creativity and new ways of thinking to help you manage stress better
Growth – Grow your self-awareness, so you have more choice and flexibility in how you respond to stressful situations
Connect – Feel a deeper sense of connection to others as you learn to get more fully grounded in your body, helping you manage stress more effectively
