Wind Down – Nervous System Regulation for Rest & Sleep
Give yourself 40 minutes at the end of the day to slow down, settle your nervous system and prepare your body and mind for rest.
Wind Down is a gentle, nurturing evening class combining calming breathwork, slow somatic movement, self-facial and ear massage, vagus nerve-supportive practices, optional lavender aromatherapy and deep relaxation.
The focus is on moving out of the busyness of the day and into a quieter, more restful state. Movements are slow and mindful, with an emphasis on body awareness, releasing tension and helping you reconnect with a sense of calm.
The class may include:
- Calming breath and longer-exhale practices
- Gentle somatic and nervous system settling movements
- Self-facial massage to release tension in the face, jaw and scalp
- Ear massage and gentle vagus nerve-supportive practices
- Optional use of a gentle lavender essential-oil blend during self-massage
- Stillness and guided deep relaxation
This isn't an exercise class. There is nothing to achieve or keep up with. The intention is simply to create a cosy space where you can slow down and give your body permission to rest.
Come ready to wind down
