Mindful Movement for Nervous System Regulation
This 90-minute class is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and explore what it feels like to more fully inhabit your body.
Through a blend of mindful and expressive movement, yoga-informed practices, stretching, breathwork, meditation, and somatic exploration, we’ll explore the body not as something to perform with or perfect, but as something to listen to, learn from, and connect with.
Movement may range from gentle and restorative to more active or challenging, offering opportunities to notice sensation, effort, tension, breath, inner dialogue, and how we respond when we meet challenge or discomfort. We’ll practice becoming curious about where we brace or hold, where we can soften or let go, and how we can stay connected to ourselves while cultivating strength, resilience, and choice.
There will also be space to explore pleasure, play, rhythm, expansion, stillness, taking up space, creativity, and authentic expression. The body isn’t only somewhere we look for tension to release. It can also be a place where we discover more of ourselves.
Over time, these practices can help us become more aware of the patterns we carry into everyday life and develop a deeper relationship with our bodies, our inner experience, and our own unique ways of moving through the world.
No previous movement experience is necessary. Participants are always encouraged to listen to their bodies and adapt or opt out of any practice as needed.
