Nerve Care - Somatic Yoga Workshop with Deanna

One Day Only - 90 minutes

Wednesday November 19th - 10am

Oftentimes nagging pain can be related to nerve entrapment - nerves are meant to glide in our fascia like a snake in water. However due to posture, sitting for long periods of time, stress, and other lifestyle factors, our fascia can be disorganized in a way that impedes the glide of the nerves. Our nerves are coated in a myelin sheath, which can be damaged through cortisol levels, stress, medications, autoimmune conditions, etc. Somatic yoga can help repair the myelin sheath which can result in lower pain levels, better communication between the brain and body, and improved nerve gliding.

This workshop will address nerve gliding in areas of the body including the arms/neck/shoulders, legs/feet/lower back and more. Through somatic movement, neural flossing, myofascial work, meditative awareness, breathwork, and restorative postures, we will work toward better nerve gliding. This workshop also helps the general health of nerves, even if you are not experiencing pain.

Suitable for all ability levels, beginners welcome.

Rescheduled- Date TBD

Manage Stress - Boost Digestion - Increase Mental Focus - Balance Mood and Energy - Improve Sleep

“Why do I want to learn how to breathe my body when my body breathes itself?”

Great question! And, yes. Breathing is automatic. So automatic in fact, that when we are physically or emotionally stressed, our breath changes. It gets shorter and more frequent. The message carried on this breath pattern is delivered to the brain, which responds with the hormones of stress in the likes of cortisol and adrenaline. Good stuff when needed for the energy of survival, or grief, or positive stress like a new job. Life can be and often is... stressful. However, when the short breath pattern becomes habitual and chronic stress is the baseline experience in body and mind, we suffer. It can show up as high blood pressure, or weight gain, or bronchitis or even the inability to fight off a simple cold.

This Breath Workshop teaches the techniques of yoga breathing, also known as pranayama. It is designed to regulate and balance the body, mind and spirit as it delivers the counter hormones for that felt sense of calm, peace, and full executive function of the brain . For the first three Saturdays in September you are invited to use your own breath to regulate your nervous system. We begin by turning inward, followed by a slow Sun Salutation with the intention to release physical stress and curate sustainable self awareness. Then, in a comfortably seated position, you will learn through understandable explanations of the benefits of a breath practice, ending with the practice itself. In total you will learn three different pranayama techniques; one for balance, one for energy and one for down regulation.

Scientific research confirms the positive influence of breath control or breathing the body. Sign up today to truly understand your breath as the first line of resource!

Fee: $75pp for all three sessions - Must Pre-register
