Further information for this class/course/event

Join us for a powerful, hands-on workshop that bridges science and embodiment to support your physical health, emotional wellbeing, and recovery from chronic stress, chronic symptoms and illness. In this immersive experience, you'll explore the healing power of somatic awareness and myofascial release techniques to regulate your nervous system, relieve tension, and foster deeper body connection. This unique session blends evidence-informed education with embodied practices, offering tools you can take home and use in everyday life. Through a combination of somatic awareness practices, vagus nerve stimulation, self-myofascial release and a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra, you'll learn how to release stored tension, increase mobility, and promote calm and healing from within. What you will learn: • How somatic practices improve interoception (inner body awareness), creating safety and ease in the body • The role of the nervous system in stress, chronic pain, fatigue, and emotional regulation • How stress relates to fascia, and how fascia (connective tissue) impacts physical tension and nervous system resilience • Self-myofascial release techniques to reduce tightness and enhance relaxation and mobility • Practical daily tools for nervous system regulation and sustainable wellbeing What to expect: • A nurturing space to explore the connection between body, mind, and healing • Guided somatic movement and awareness practices • Education and hands-on experience with self-myofascial release techniques • A deeply restful guided Yoga Nidra session to support integration and neuroplasticity • Take-home strategies to support stress relief, pain reduction, and nervous system regulation Benefits of attending: • Enhanced body awareness and self-regulation • Reduced muscular tension and pain • Improved physical function, posture, and mobility • Practical tools for daily nervous system support • Integrated Body-Mind relaxation • Empowerment through understanding your body's healing potential Meet your teacher: Sara Santos is a yoga and mindfulness teacher, somatic healing practitioner, and chronic pain recovery coach with a background in biomedical sciences.
