Stress is now an everyday problem and an epidemic. It is probably the single biggest contributing factor to many physical conditions such as insomnia, headaches, high blood pressure, and mental health issues like depression and OCD. But scientists now also regard stress as a contributing factor in more serious illnesses like diabetes and cancer.

Our lives have become busier and faster but our bodies have not evolved to be able to deal with this constant impact.

And that’s what creates the problem – stress is constant and relentless.

Short term stress response in the body – an activation of nervous system and hormonal system increasing the levels of cortisol, adrenalin and norepinephrine – producing fight, flight or freeze reaction – is s survival mechanism that allowed human beings to live through the challenges of life in the wild where we could become food to animals at any point. It helped us escape or fight for our survival.

But this response is designed to be short term because it also suppresses activity of the immune system and digestive system, increases blood pressure and contribute to a number of other out of balance reactions in the body.

And when this level of over activity takes place for a long time – then ‘body says no more.’  

Stress can kill – that’s why it’s so important to learn ways to reduce stress as well as deal with the root causes of stress.

 

This Stress Reduction course will help you by teaching you:

• How to relax in the body with gentle embodied mindful and somatic yoga to release chronic tension in body, unwind and relax. Gentle yoga and somatic movement helps the body relax and let go of the chronic holding that creates imbalance and pain. It allows the body to restore harmony and balance in posture. 

• Mindfulness and embodiment practices to be more present in your body with ease. Awareness is always the first key to making any change. Learn how to pay attention within your body to feel more grounded and at ease. This is a skill – nobody was born with it.

• Breathing exercises to switch off stress response in the body. Research shows that breathing helps with lowering stress, not just with immediate calming effect but also in long-term chronic stress conditions.

• Practices for restful sleep. Learn how to relax and let go of daily stress so you can wake up renewed and meet your day with clarity and focus.

• Focusing practices to create a sense of inner connection and ease. Learn to go beyond mindfulness to start building a sense of honest self-trust and confidence and prioritise your authentic self-care.
