Somatic Release and Yoga Nidra Stress Discharge
Somatic release, movement and breathwork to discharge stored stress from your nervous system — this full 45-minute class was recorded outside on the water and blends lymphatic movement, breathwork, and yoga nidra for deep nervous system reset.
This is the exact class my 1:1 clients love, now available for you to practice anytime.
Why each part works:
Lymphatic activation (armpits, neck, groin) — gently moves lymph fluid and wakes up your immune system
TCM-inspired tapping — releases tension from the jaw, chest, and ribs while stimulating the thymus
Qigong swinging & rotation — uses the hips to move stress through the whole body, no effort required
Wim Hof horse dance squat — opens the hips and psoas (your "stress muscle") while boosting oxygen intake
Breath of Joy — a double inhale + forceful exhale that discharges stuck tension in the diaphragm
Neurogenic shaking — the same instinctive release animals use to complete the stress response cycle
Slow Expansive Breathing — activates the vagus nerve, lowering cortisol and heart rate
15-min yoga nidra — deep integration and rest to close it all out
Come back to this one anytime you need to come home to yourself.
