The presence of stress in the body can build up over time. In somatic stress release we spend time paying attention to the body through mindfulness, meditation and sensing practices as well as movement, yoga and restorative postures to invite stress to release and allow our bodies to move into a state of deep restoration.
Please bring a bolster or pillow, blanket and any other props you like to use for restorative practices. Some chairs are available for those who need to sit during standing practices which can be modified to suit all bodies and needs.
