with Katie Pilrose | Hybrid | $80 for member $90 for non-member

This workshop will focus on the unique stress and twists of the mind, body, and soul. The engagement of fight/flight response and what it has to do with caring for others. We will be using a combination of somatics, breathing techniques, classic asana and grounding practices.

Each class will consist of a small education section, an hour long practice and a quick 5 minute practice that can be used in times of need. We will be using a variety of props: blankets, blocks, bolsters, to create a supported practices to sooth the nervous nervous system.

We will be using the book Burnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski as the guiding literature; each week we will look at six of the different concepts the authors put forward.

Week 1 - Completing the stress cycle
Week 2 - The monitor & goals
Week 3 - The game is rigged
Week 4 - Body image (I know)

Each class will consist of a sat sanga at the beginning talking about the concept of the week. Followed by a physical practice that embodies the information.

I am Katie! I am a certified personal trainer a 500hr Soma yoga teacher and I have been working on the fitness industry for over 15 years. In that time I have worked with many women who have/had breast cancer. When working with them, one major feature stands out - the limitations often seem and felt through the affected side(s). These limitations do not need to remain. With the combination of somatic techniques, neuro-muscular re-education, and dynamic movements - the connection from the brain to the muscles can reform.
