Somatic Synergy

With Somatic Wellness Coach Sophia Blanton

Two Workshops: ‘Nervous System Regulation’ and ‘Pelvic Floor Barre’

A two-part embodied breakthrough weaving Nervous System Regulation & Pelvic Floor Barre. We’ll dive into science-backed techniques to regulate the nervous system, followed by a unique somatic practice to awaken & strengthen the pelvic region.

FIRST SESSION: NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATION

Learn to:

Identify key nervous system stress states in the body

Choose from a series of nervous-system mini-routines to reset & recover from stress states like fight, flight, freeze

Co-regulate with simple rhythmic group activities

SECOND SESSION: PELVIC FLOOR BARRE

Learn to:

Gently open & release joints of the lower back & pelvis

Rhythmically tone muscle groups like glutes, core & Kegels

Release stored emotional energy from the pelvis and enteric nervous system (the Gut-Brain)

Somatic Synergy is a dynamic 3-hour workshop that invites you into deep connection with your body’s innate wisdom. Through a unique combination of somatic nervous system regulation and pelvic floor barre, you’ll learn about how the body holds stress, and how it can release, reset, and revive through embodied practice. Please bring a yoga mat and/or towel for the workshop.  We will engage activities standing, sitting, and lying on the floor – all to a carefully curated, inspiring soundscape.

We’ll begin with trauma-informed techniques to come into grounded, centered presence and metabolize the energies of fight, flight, and freeze. You’ll learn practical tools to identify your nervous system states, cultivate embodied safety, and co-regulate with others — all through movement, breath, sensation, and rhythm.  You’ll take home three mini-routines that you can use any time for quick and simple shifting.  All attendees are invited to the private Facebook group “Neuroshift Regulation Resources”, where you can follow short video routines with Sophia to help you shift any time.

In the second half, we’ll move into a somatic floor-barre practice focused on the pelvic bowl, belly and core, where we tend to store emotional energies like fear and shame.  We’ll explore innovative ways to gently and incrementally open the joints of the pelvic bowl in preparation for deeper work. By merging breath with movement, you’ll awaken tone, vitality, and emotional release in the deep tissues of the pelvic bowl, with special focus on the Kegel muscle group and glutes. Expect to leave feeling revitalized and more in tune with your body’s felt sense of resilience and flow.
