Exploring the anxious and addictive mind through breathwork, yoga & journaling

The Mount Without, St Michael’s Hill, Bristol
Sunday 6th April, 2:30pm – 6.00pm

Join me for a transformative afternoon working with breath, posture and intention and learn how to regulate the nervous system and find presence.

If you identify with feelings of overwhelm, stress, irritability, anxiety, or addictive behaviours, this workshop is for you. When we are overwhelmed by our feelings, or a difficult experience, our stress system engages and we can shift into a state of anxiety, triggering addictive behaviours in an attempt to manage how we feel.

Learning how breath and yoga can calm the nervous system, particularly the vagus nerve and contracted states within the body, can give us greater autonomy over our feelings. One of the simplest ways to change how we feel is connect to our breath and move our bodies, instead of reaching out for something external to soothe us like drinking, smoking, eating, shopping, social media etc (the list goes on).

These powerful tools can help us to regulate, move towards states of calm and greater freedom. The key is to recognise that you can change how you feel, that our feelings are not in our heads, but in our bodies. Yoga and breath can change our physical and emotional state, hormonal flow, and ultimately how we experience ourselves.

In this workshop we will be using lecture, breathwork, yoga and journaling.

I aim to create a safe and welcoming space. Open to all levels. No experience necessary.
