90-minute class: Soothing the Red Reflex – Releasing Stress and Embracing Calm

Somatic reflexes are often unnoticed tensions in the body that manifest as chronic pain, stiffness, or a general feeling of unease in our movements and breathing. They consequently impact our mental health.

This video addresses the ‘red reflex’ or startle reflex, a protective response to fear, anxiety, or danger. It causes the body to contract inward, tightening the front of the body to protect vital organs. This can lead to issues like neck, jaw, and shoulder pain, breathing difficulties, sleep disorders, and even depression.

This 90-minute Somatic Yoga Masterclass is designed to calm your body’s natural stress responses and bring peace to your mind.

This session will focus on understanding and soothing the ‘red reflex’. Through gentle, mindful somatic movements and breathwork, you’ll learn simple, easy-to-use tools to release tension, restore balance, and cultivate a deep sense of calm.

This class is a nurturing space for anyone looking to manage stress and support their mental and general health in a gentle and accessible way.

No prior yoga experience is needed—just an open heart and a desire to unwind.
