Workshop: Trauma Informed Yoga - Befriend Your Nervous System
with Gosia

Overwhelmed with life? 

Searching for clearer focus and a sense of calm? 

You’re not alone – everyone feels this way at times. Join our transformative Somatic Nervous System Reset Workshop to learn key techniques for self-soothing when your thoughts or body feel overwhelming.

Understanding the Sympathetic & Parasympathetic Nervous Systems

That sense of overwhelm often stems from our sympathetic nervous system, which propels us into action. When it detects a threat – real or perceived – our fight/flight/freeze response takes over. But when no real danger exists, our parasympathetic nervous system is there to restore us to a state of calm.

Meet the Vagus Nerve – Your Body’s Superpower

Discover the powerful role of the vagus nerve within the parasympathetic nervous system. Known as the body’s "superpower," it acts as a natural reset button! By learning to stimulate and reset your vagus nerve, you’ll gain the ability to shift between stress and calm, benefiting your overall well-being. Experience a sense of relaxation and mindfulness, allowing for thoughtful responses instead of reactive ones.

Develop Mindful Responses to Triggers

Stress and anxiety often overwhelm us due to our brains' heightened sensitivity to threats. This natural response throws us into fight, flight, or freeze mode, and for many, especially those who’ve experienced trauma (which, let’s be honest, is nearly everyone), moving out of this state can be difficult. Yet, staying in these heightened states can strain our lives and relationships. Learning to transition out of these states is essential – not just for ourselves but for everyone around us.

What to Wear and Bring

Please wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows you to sit on the floor. Bring a mat if you have one, along with a water bottle and a cosy layer, such as warm socks or a jumper.
