Intro to Somatic Stress Release

**ATTENTION FOR THOSE ATTENDING**

**You are invited to bring a yoga mat, bolsters or pillows, a water bottle, journal, and a pen/pencil. All of that is optional.**

Somatic Stress Release Technique is the practice of taking your body through the stress response cycle. This starts with becoming activated, mobilizing that activation, actualizing the mobilization, and then finding a place of restoration, to rest and restore your resources.

This is a cycle that is continually happening for humans and animals. We, as humans, experience a thing called breaks, an interruption to that cycle. This is where we begin to have issues because instead of that energy moving through, the stress gets stuck somewhere in our body.

With Somatic Stress Release we slow down time and space to smooth and mend the habitual breaks to bring our self to a place of homeostasis so we can thrive in all circumstances.

We view stress not as a dramatized threat, but as a simple change in the environment that we learn how to regulate and adapt to with ease!

Led by Julia Hyndman, in this class we will use movement, props, dance, and meditation to take ourselves through the cycle and gently buffer out our breaks.
