Nervous System Rewire - An Exploration of Grounding Regulation Practices.

Centre of You

Discover self-regulation tools to build resilience, reduce stress, and feel grounded, confident, &amp; better equipped to handle life.

About Is life keeping you stuck in overdrive? No matter how much self-care you do, do you still end up feeling on edge or exhausted - almost like you're just wired that way? The truth is, this is a natural response to the demands of modern life and the state of the world right now. Many of our nervous systems are working overtime in response to constant stimuli, screens, and stressors… The good news is that it is possible to rewire this programming and gently build your capacity to feel grounded and resilient amidst the chaos. Based on the teachings of Polyvagal Theory, this Nervous System Rewire class will teach you simple and empowering self-regulation tools to retrain your brain and rebuild a robust nervous system, so you no longer feel stuck and can confidently handle stress. When you rewire your nervous system, you reclaim your vitality, regulate your emotions, and rebuild your ability to be present and connected with loved ones, and with yourself. This class is open to anyone; no prior experience is necessary. The practices are useful both as a preventative measure and to ease the impact of acute or chronic stress. What to Expect: Expect a kind and inviting space where you can show up just as you are as we gently explore a series of:✨ Vagal toning exercises that work directly with your vagus nerve to stimulate rest, digestion, and repair.✨ Trauma-sensitive yoga and gentle movement to enliven the felt sense and improve interoception.✨ Gentle breathwork to quiet the mind and create space for your true self to emerge.✨ Stress-release practices to discharge incomplete stress energy and complete the stress cycle.✨ Journaling and reflection exercises to help integrate the teachings and shifts.✨ Co-regulation and the inherent benefits of being in shared space with community.
