Do you ever wish that you could understand and move through your emotions in a healthier, more connected way? Have you ever wondered, “What does that even mean!?” when someone talks about feeling their feelings?
In this 90-minute virtual session, you'll learn more about the neuroscience of emotional processing and how you can use mindfulness and somatic practices to better navigate strong emotions. We’ll explore simple breathwork techniques and offer a gentle somatic movement practice, helping you connect with your mind and body in a more meaningful way.
Whether you're new to these mind-body approaches or you have lots of experience, this workshop offers practical, accessible tools for staying grounded and present while also teaching you some of the “why” behind them.
Whether you’re curious about the topic or wanting additional practices to deepen self-awareness, this workshop offers a nurturing space to explore and embrace your emotional landscape. Come ready to breathe, move gently, and learn in a supportive community, all from the comfort of your own home.
You will walk away with:
Breathwork Practice: Engage in a short, optional breathwork practice to feel more centered, grounded, and present.
General Information about the Neuroscience of Emotional Processing and Mindfulness: Learn about the types of emotional processing, how they differ in the brain, and how mindfulness & somatic practices can facilitate those processes.
Mindful Somatic Practice: Engage in a gentle somatic practice to help foster mind-body connection using concepts discussed earlier in the session
What You’ll Need:
Device with working internet
Yoga mat or soft floor surface
Pillow/bolster/block to sit on (optional)
Comfortable clothes
Notepad or journal and pen
