Service Description

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress? What are your stress levels like? Are you addicted to busy-ness? Are you coping with unhealthy habits? Stress is an unavoidable part of modern life and it isn't always harmful. In fact some stress is healthy and can make us stronger physically and mentally. Learning how to manage stress is the key. Chronic stress was the major factor in my becoming unwell and living with autoimmune disease. With each flare and episode of burnout, more damage was being done to my body. I lived in chronic stress and tended to enjoy a high level too. I loved being busy and active. It all made sense to my body and nervous system. My acute flares often began with cold sores, a lost voice, coughs, colds and viruses that stopped me moving. Then the feeling of pushing a large rock uphill in stilettos everyday. Chronic stress causes all kinds of issues: Weight gain Poor sleep Ageing Poor mental health Heart disease Digestive issues Inflammation Chronic stress happens if we aren't perceiving things as stressful events because we are so used to it.. When we suffer from stress, it means our adaptation to the source of stress has failed and the consequences can be detrimental to our wellbeing and health. Stress isn't a modern problem, it’s an evolutionary mechanism that has helped us survive for millennia. When we encounter a threat, our body triggers the autonomic nervous system, engaging the sympathetic nervous system (commonly known as the “fight-or-flight” response). This response prepares us to act quickly in the face of danger. Once the threat is gone, the parasympathetic nervous system steps in, helping the body relax and recover. The problem with chronic stress is that we are constantly triggering our sympathetic nervous system without allowing time for recovery. Chronic stress is at the root of many health issues, including burnout. In this 2.5 hour workshop we will use breath, movement, kundalini yoga, deep relaxation practices, journaling and somatic questioning to help you explore your stress cycles and find ways to explore, change and manage your stress.
