“Nurturing Your Nervous System” offers a class delving into somatic techniques to shift the body from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest.” After trauma, the body releases adrenaline and cortisol, affecting heart rate, metabolism, and immune function. This stress response impacts the brain’s amygdala and hippocampus regions, influencing emotion and memory. Somatic exercises, emphasizing the sensory-motor system, break the cycle of chronic stress. Continuous stressors after loss such as financial challenges, caregiving, or demanding jobs, can trap the body in perpetual stress. Somatic exercises are slow controlled movements that signal safety, improving mental and physical well-being by enhancing body awareness and control.  This class is accessible to all bodies and can be adapted to those who have limited mobility.
