We’ve all had those moments where anxiety seems to come out of nowhere and hijacks the body. Your heart races, your breath gets shallow, and it feels like your mind is spinning out of control. When that happens, it can be hard to remember that you’re actually safe.

That’s where a super simple grounding practice comes in. This one takes less than a minute, and it can help bring you back into your body and send a clear signal to your nervous system: you can soften, you’re okay.

Last week, someone asked me a question that might sound familiar: “What do I do when I start thinking about something and can’t stop? It starts affecting my body—sometimes I even break out in hives.”

Racing thoughts like this are actually signals from your nervous system, not just your mind. When your body is stressed, your mind often speeds up too. This is where somatic yoga and somatic living practices can help—you don’t have to wait to get on the mat to calm your nervous system.

Life can move fast. Between work, family, constant notifications, and the never-ending to-do list, it’s easy to get caught in a cycle of rushing and reacting. But your nervous system was never designed to operate in overdrive all the time. It needs space. It needs slowness. It needs care.

That’s why I’ve been leaning into slow living — small, intentional choices that make daily life feel softer and more manageable. And honestly? Sometimes slow living looks like prepping a few freezer bag mea...

One of the biggest stressors on the nervous system isn’t always the big life changes — it’s the tiny, constant decisions we make all day long. What to wear. When to work out. Which emails to respond to first. And… the dreaded “What’s for dinner?”

This decision fatigue is real. And when our brains are already tired, our bodies feel it, too. That’s when we’re more likely to reach for snacks instead of a nourishing meal or end up eating something that leaves us feeling depleted rather than support...

If you’ve been feeling wired, anxious, or constantly “on,” your nervous system might be stuck in survival mode. This is something I see in so many of my students — we live in a culture that pushes us to go, do, achieve… but rarely gives us space to actually feel and release what’s building up in our bodies. That’s where somatic yoga comes in.

Somatic yoga is a slower, more intentional practice that helps you tune into your body’s sensations, process stored tension, and give your nervous system ...

If you’ve been Googling “somatic yoga near me,” chances are you’re looking for something a little deeper than a typical yoga class. Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected from your body, or just overwhelmed by the constant go-go-go of life.

I get it.

That’s exactly why somatic yoga has become such an important practice for me and for so many of my students — it’s not just about stretching; it’s about feeling, releasing, and reconnecting with yourself in a really gentle way.
