“Shaking is a biological cue to the limbic system in the brain that danger has passed and can calm the fight-or-flight response from the sympathetic nervous system” (Shaw, 2019).
You may have forgotten, but your body knows.
You were born with an instinct called tremoring. Most of us have learned to suppress this natural process. Perhaps you have witnessed an animal gently shake under stress or after a fight or flight situation? Humans have the same skill and opportunity to release stress and trauma. All we have to do is re-learn.
Remembering How to Release
In this two hour workshop, our local specialist, Kristin Weber, will give a complete lesson in tremoring (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises).
Upcoming Events
At this time, we have no future workshops scheduled. I recommend reaching out to Kristin Weber to schedule a private lesson.
What to Expect
Kristin will lead us through an easy series of standing movement to warm our bodies before we lie down on a yoga mat to get into position for some gentle tremoring. Accomodations will be made for persons who cannot move in certain positions or lie flat. This skill is accessible to all humans. After tremoring, we will have some quiet time for breathwork or silent integration.
Tremoring can feel like vibration, warmth, energy, electricity, bouncing, swaying, rocking, trembling, etc. It’s a unique experience for each person. Whatever it’s like for you is completely normal. It’s gentle and safe. Kristin will teach us how to invite the tremoring to start as well as how to stop it, so there is no time we will feel “out of control.”
You can read more on Kristin’s website.
What to Wear
Wear comfortable clothes that you can move in easily without restriction (e.g. yoga pants or sweatpants, not jeans). If you’re concerned about your fitness level, don’t worry — it’s not a hard, gym-like workout. It’s simple, gentle, and relaxing.
