Love your Lymph!

My weekly classes are one hour long and are meant to provide a communal space for healing as well as a place for learning about basic anatomy and physiology. They are also meant to inspire people to take the movements home and explore the work on their own on a regular basis.

This class will incorporate movement, breath and self massage to gently support the immune system and nourish the nervous system. I work to provide students with a deeper understanding of how the vagus nerve impacts inflammation and the stress response in the body and how the lymphatic, respiratory and circulatory systems can be supported so that the detox pathways remain open and flowing freely. This class will also provide you with simple tools to use on a daily basis to help process and remove stress hormones from the body, creating a more balanced and settled nervous system overall.

We will work with our hands, our breath and an inflatable ball to explore the spaces in our body that hold both physical and mental stress. Together we work to build a bridge between the conscious and subconscious mind, bringing awareness to how we engage with the harder parts of everyday life and what we can do to elicit a nourishing response.

While we cannot easily change the stressors we experience in our lives we can change how we show up to them. Learning about our physiology and having simple strategies available to come back from survival to regulation benefits us and the world around us. Doing this in community provides an opportunity to connect and co-regulate with others which we are deeply missing in society today.

Please bring a water bottle, yoga mat, light blanket and writing supplies if you are moved to take notes. Inflatable Coregous Balls are available for use during the class and for purchase.
