De-Stress, Rest & Reinvigorate at Stock Goods, Woodstock, VT

This class invites you to pause from your normal pace to de-stress and reinvigorate yourself. The carefully crafted flow is designed to help you release tension and work with your body, enabling you to reach an extraordinary level of presence and awareness. I design a unique blend of restorative movement, somatic and neural exercises, and guided self-inquiry into every session. These practices are simple yet powerful, and science-backed. But don't worry, it's not all serious and quiet! Joy is a key ingredient in building resilience, and you'll find it woven throughout the class. Watch a video to see what the class looks like here!

Vibe: Wear your most comfortable sweats, bring a mat or blanket and notebook, be receptive. And to answer an FAQ: we do not share what we write about. That’s just for you. The physical activity level varies - it is an all levels class.

Afterwards: My intention is for you to feel nourished, and become softer and reconnected to yourself and your priorities.

Tension Releasing Exercises at the Woodstock Athletic Club

Tension Releasing Exercises (TRE®, spoken as T.R.E.) is a simple body-based method that calms your nervous system and releases deep muscular patterns of stress and tension. The TRE practice helps you activate the primal reflex of somatic shaking, which naturally occurs in every human being. TRE is a safe and effective stress release technique for most people, and can be complementary to talk therapy or other somatic work.

Vibe: Wear workout clothes/may get sweaty. Think fatiguing your legs while upright including a wall sit, and then lying down on your mat in constructive rest. Moderate physical activity level.

Afterwards: My intention is for you to have a body-led experience, increase self-awareness and self-compassion, and feel rebalanced like you got a massage from the inside out.

60 mins |  $25

Somatic Stress Release Workshop

An experiential workshop featuring TRE® 

Stay tuned for the next date … TBD

 All of our experience of the world--from frustration and anxiety to overwhelm or burnout-- is a symptom of nervous system dysregulation. If you want to change your experience, it's crucial to practice supporting your nervous system by signaling the body to return to a state of rest and recuperation. In this workshop, you’ll learn different somatic stress release practices using the breath and body, and you’ll be introduced to Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®) or have an opportunity to deepen your TRE practice.

TRE is a body-based method for releasing deeply held stress and tension in the muscles and connective tissue. You'll activate the natural vibration or tremor mechanism available in every human being, and then lie down and literally shake away stress. This workshop includes intentional breathing, stretching, somatic shaking and reflection prompts. Dress comfortably and bring a yoga mat, water, and your favorite pen.

Vibe: Wear workout clothes/may get a little sweaty. Think fatiguing your legs while upright and then lying down on your mat in constructive rest.

Afterwards: My intention is for you to have a body-led experience, increase self-awareness and self-compassion, and feel rebalanced like you got a massage from the inside out.

90 min |  $35

Please note this workshop is for age 16+. Contraindications for TRE are epilepsy, seizures, schizophrenia, or if you are currently pregnant. It’s a safe and effective method for most people. Please reach out with any questions!
