Rest & Rise: How to Balance Vagal Tone with Simple and Effective Tools Tired and wired? Flat and foggy? Learn how to reset your nervous system on demand in this 2hrs interactive workshop. Only 10 places.
About this Event

Some days we're tired and wired. Other days we're flat and foggy…unmotivated.

Your vagus nerve sits at the crossroad: it’s the body's quiet regulator of rest, digestion and repair, and the switch that helps you find energy again when you've little to spare.

Join me in the tranquil setting of JadePilates Studio for this interactive hands-on 2hrs workshop. You'll come to understand what the vagus nerve does and how to work with it. So that you can find the deep relaxation you yearn for or that extra lift you need. You'll leave knowing how to do both — with a handful of simple tools you can easily integrate into your daily routines.

You'll be greeted with a hand-crafted herbal tea, and guided into choosing and blending your very own massage oil using premium essential oils. After the movement and self-massage practice we will complete the journey with a deeply restorative guided meditation.

Wear: comfortable clothing suitable for Pilates/Yoga type of classes.

Bring: a light blanket.

Just 10 places available.
