Many of us need support and guidance on managing stress effectively. Stress and anxiety can be profoundly disruptive, impacting our well-being with symptoms like sleep disturbances, cardiovascular and respiratory issues, high blood pressure, mood swings, physical pain, and, in severe cases, contributing to serious illnesses.

However, we can improve our mental and emotional health with the right tools. Techniques and strategies to calm and re-centre ourselves can lead to a healthier mind and body.

In this masterclass, Laurent will guide you through various slow and gentle somatic movement exercises, calming breathwork, and relaxing mindful practices. These mind-bod connection practices will introduce you to simple methods for soothing your nervous system, calming your breath, and relaxing your mind and body.

This masterclass is not intended to diagnose or replace professional mental health support. Still, it is a complementary experience for anyone wishing to explore practical, accessible techniques for enhancing psychological and physical well-being.

Themes and techniques covered in the masterclass:

• Connecting with the body through somatic yoga: Gentle movement practices that help you feel more present in your body.

• Breathwork: Techniques to regulate the nervous system and deepen your connection with your breath.

• Somatic Meditation: Methods to quiet the mind, reduce agitation, and cultivate mindfulness with the body, such as grounding or earthing.

• Deep relaxation: Exercises aimed at promoting calm and restfulness.

The masterclass will be 90 minutes long, allowing you to immerse yourself in practices that foster balance, calm, and resilience.

This event is for people of all walks of life and abilities and is perfect for anyone who needs to feel physically and mentally supported.
