42m
Have you ever noticed there are seasons of life where your fuse is shorter, your brain is foggier and people are just breathing too loudly?! These are signs that your nervous system is overstimulated. It shows up physically with tight shoulders often causing tension headaches and even migraines. It can land in the pelvic floor, create flares of vulvodynia and nerve pain, and it often affects our sleep and cognitive abilities.
The annoying person in the family will just say, "Calm Down!" but we know better. We have to DOWN-regulate and then, well, we will be in a better position to skillfully navigate the comings and goings and a busy season.
Today's class is about grounding the nervous system and releasing tension. We will do so with slow mindful movements that will open the inner thighs, pelvic floor, hamstrings and also through myofascial release techniques for the upper back, psoas/abdomen and glutes.
You'll need: two blocks, two tennis balls and a yoga strap
