Speaking the language of your nervous system through yoga and somatics.

Your Nervous System, Your Yoga

Friday 23rd January 2026, 18:30-20:30
@ Whitstable Yoga & Wellbeing Centre, Canterbury Road, Whitstable
Price: £30

Join me at this workshop to delve into the fascinating world of your nervous system (NS) - the control system for every process in your body - and to learn how communicate with it through the language of sensation to increase our felt sense of safety, improve resilience and reduce stress.

There will be two sections to the workshop: an initial education component followed by a carefully crafted experiential component which will blend yoga asana, somatics, pranayama (breath work) and guided relaxation practices.

Workshop Outline

To begin there will be an introduction to the NS and what its various responsibilities are. We’ll explore the Polyvagal Theory (our current best understanding and map of the nervous system) and find out how knowledge of our nervous system states can empower us to affect change within our mind-body system at a fundamental level.

We’ll briefly explore the impacts of chronic stress and trauma on NS function and then delve into how we can support our NS with yoga and somatics, building an awareness of the types of practices that are best suited to each NS state.

This will be followed by a carefully sequenced practice built around the principles of curiosity, compassion, choice and the surrender of attachment to outcome, where we’ll get to experience and play with the practices we’ve been discussing.

Handouts will be provided but bring a pen and notebook if you’d like to take your own notes. Wear warm, comfy clothes and feel free to bring a warm soothing drink with you if you’d like to. All props will be available at the studio.

Bookings are to be made direct with the studio or via the MindBody app. Search for the Yoga & Somatics Workshop with me in their listings.
