About this Event
Suited best for 18+ or those that have lived through their child/teen years.
Co-Regulation is beautiful because we can hold space for one another. Goal is to create a foundation to help us self-regulate. When we are regulated, we come from a place of understanding. We can start to gain deeper insight for ourselves which can help us manage our emotions and ultimately our actions/reactions. Consistent self regulation can manage anxieties and stressors. When regulated we can come from a place of love and compassion for ourselves to remove the inner obstacles we set up. This is a great time to connect with our inner child and set up our regulation "blueprint." As children, we may have not had the best role models to help us gain these tools. We are here to heal that cycle and step into a new way of showing up for ourselves.
Breathwork helps jump start our nervous system to get us back to our safe or “ventral vagal” state. I call this our sweet chill spot . This will be very beginner to intermediate friendly. *please make sure to have water handy and to have a nice meal at-least 1.5 hrs before* For this part you will be laying on your back as if you were taking a restorative yoga class so think "Shavasana." If you need extra support please bring any additional items to help this experience be as comfortable as possible. If laying on your back isn't an option, please inform the facilitator and they will provide an alternative pose.
