6. Nervous System Reset: Tap, Breathe, and Release
24m
This class is a full reset for your nervous system, moving through three simple but powerful techniques that work together to bring your mind and body into a state of deep rest and release.
We live in a world that keeps us switched on. The nervous system adapts to that constant demand by staying alert, staying braced, staying ready. Over time this becomes the default setting, and what feels like normal is actually a body that has forgotten how to fully let go. This class is the antidote to that.
We begin with tapping, a somatic technique that works directly with the nervous system by stimulating specific points on the body to signal safety and release. Tapping is deceptively simple and remarkably effective at shifting the body out of a stress response and into a more open, receptive state. The first part of class can be done seated in a chair or in a comfortable position on the floor, making it accessible wherever you are and however you feel when you arrive.
From there we move into breathwork, using specific breathing patterns to deepen the relaxation response and bring the body further into a state of calm. Breath is the most direct tool we have for regulating the nervous system, and here we use it with intention.
We close with gentle hip and pelvic floor mobilization and release. The hips and pelvic floor are places where the body stores an enormous amount of held tension, often without us realizing it. Moving and releasing this area at the end of class allows everything that has been unwinding through the tapping and breathwork to fully settle, leaving the body open, grounded, and at ease.
No props are needed beyond a chair or comfortable place to sit for the first portion of class.
This class gives your nervous system full permission to reset, using three layered techniques that take you from switched on to deeply, genuinely at rest.
