This workshop will give you the tools you need to remove the effects of stress from your body’s tissues, so it is easier to treat yourself kindly and open yourself up to life’s abundance.
Stress and anxiety are so prevalent in our society that many of us suffer from physical and mental ramifications of these modern manifestations. We get trapped in negative thought patterns, often feeling like we’ll never be able to catch up to some grandiose ambition or impossible expectation. As a result, we experience problems such as chest tightness, back or abdominal ailments, lack of concentration, forgetfulness, etc. The energetic body also responds to modern life stress, which puts us in a constant state of fight or flight. Over time, it may become more difficult to express emotions, release negative energy, and show compassion.
Even if a stressful situation has passed, the effects can linger and compound in our muscles and energetic body. In this workshop, we’ll practice yoga postures and somatic movements that address the issues in the tissues. You will learn a morning somatic sequence that focuses on releasing habitual tension created by the body’s instinctive withdrawal to stress. Next, we will practice a short yoga flow sequence that helps open up the front and back of the chest. Finally, you will learn restorative postures for opening the front body, meant to open your compassionate heart. Take-home handouts with these practices will be offered.
